Fuck the bread, circuses will do.

You'd think from all the honking and yahooing last night that perhaps Canadians had landed on Mars or some such monumental event. As I said before it's kind of pathetic that the only thing that garners spontaneous displays of passion or national pride are hockey games. Not that it's a bad thing for people to be excited about the local team doing well (On the other hand, how "local" is the team? How many "Canucks" are even from Canada, let alone British Columbia or the Vancouver area? What exactly is all the pride about?), it's just a tad pathetic that this is the only thing that gets people excited.

Well, there was no car horn honking coming from this trooper's CRX last night. The night was a complete disaster and was ruin on account of the loss. I was the only unabashed St.Louis Blues fan seen there for miles last night. As we walked back to my car parked near the library, a news crew took a quick shot of me (my back) walking along rather dejected.

Actually, speaking of Canadian teams - I think St. Louis was the last team to ever have an all-Canadian roster (back in 1992).
