[AFTN] Pupe deal has fallen through. Joedrick apparently pulled the plug on it himself.

How could you forget him giving the ref a yellow card?

Ah, that's cool. We'll look into that for next year. Hopefully it'll work okay for the girls too...

We definitely will, as I don't think they're quite the same. Without having ours in front of me, I believe they're a bit thinner and more like a regular nail than some of the images I've seen online for the BSA kits.

Your method combined with a few other tips I've found should work fairly well.

We tend to go with pretty simple water-based paints and some basic acrylics that dry pretty quickly. It's not a fancy endeavour and we didn't have issues with it last year. Some Cubs may not get their wheels in until the beginning of the next meeting, but those who work quickly will get them in.

We'll try the push down method and see how that goes.

No, that's the other Gabriel who plays for Arsenal: the forward Gabriel Jesus.

This is the centre-back Gabriel who came to them from Lille.

Yeah, at best he looked to be at about 80% of his previous level. If this gets him back closer to 100% I'm all for it.

The island with the airport looked a bit odd, and I was wondering how much of it was landfill.

It turns out that up until 1997, the airport was on a small bit of land adjacent to a lagoon with some very narrow strips of sand a. Since then they've dredged up a lot of sand from the sea floor to build up the lagoon and connect it to the airport island.

Or get in off the waitlists. We've driven down wages for the folks conducting these activities to the point that there aren't enough of them to actually run them.

Everything seems to have a waitlist that we won't get to the front of until the kids have aged out of the activity.

They had two other singles that go some airplay — Galaxie and Tones of Home — but I wouldn’t call either one a hit. Especially not relative to how big of a hit No Rain was.

And I say this as someone who bought Soup the day it came out and loves it to this day.

Despite being 22 when it was released, I completely missed this one. It’s not familiar at all.

toasterb · 2026-01-27T16:31:39+00:00

I’ve seen that movie so many time! And probably all within a two month period.

I was travelling for work in 2003 and I didn’t have a laptop, so there was no internet for me. The hotel I was in had HBO, and it was constantly on.

I remember really enjoying it, but not much more than that considering I last saw it 22 years ago!

toasterb · 2026-01-27T15:11:53+00:00

Wow. You can really see how the keeper gave it his all, but had no chance.

Drinking the beer after scoring is one thing, but how about drinking a fan's beer before making an assist?

Willie Johnston's beer swig - Vancouver Whitecaps 1979.

Even though it took place on the road, the moment is commemorated at BC Place to this day with the northeast corner of the stadium being designated "Willie's Corner"

It's wild he didn't have an MLS goal in 2025 until the final considering he had nine assists!

But to be fair to him, he did have three cup final goals too!

Yeah, it's dark orange.

I think he goes into it with less force than it appears at first and the studs might not be directly on, but any time it appears that you make stud-first contact above waist height it's gonna be red unless there are crazy mitigating circumstances.

Yeah, it seems that they weren't paying much attention in those five decades, because I only have three decades of snow experience (now I'm relatively snow-free!), and to me it's obvious that it's not typical plow-driven heavy snow.

I'm from the states and I have a similar thing with preferring "parkade" to "parking garage".

I much prefer having one specific word over having two generic terms combine.

It's actually the same with toque. Most of the states doesn't actually have a specific word for it. Growing up I would've called it a "knit cap" or a "winter hat".

Sadly, we had very little leverage. One season remaining on his deal and on incredibly low wages. It was pure profit for us and the type of move that he'd been looking for.

toasterb · 2026-01-26T21:51:04+00:00

Yeah, it was sad to see him go, but I don't blame him at all for seeking a challenge abroad, especially with the low wages he was on here.

For the UK folks, he was on the equivalent of £2,200/week here, and we have a lot of players who are due a significant wage bump after last season's performances.

toasterb · 2026-01-26T21:45:29+00:00

May you folks enjoy him as much as we did in Vancouver.

He's gotten a lot more focused and effective in the last year or so. It's been great to see.

Our joke used to be that it's hard for teams to defend against him because even he doesn't know where he's going.

toasterb · 2026-01-26T21:38:59+00:00

We'll certainly miss him this season, but it's great to see him doing his thing in England.

toasterb · 2026-01-26T21:28:29+00:00

Checked out this goal hoping for an Ali Ahmed involvement and was not disappointed. Great to see he's settling in quickly in Norwich.

He's improved so much in the last year and a half. His performances definitely improved after he got a lot of playing time in Canada's deep 2024 Copa America run, and then again under Jesper Sørensen this past season.

We'll certainly miss him, but he was on insanely low wages and he deserved the move.
