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.

First of all, why is it standard to celebrate a hockey game by getting wasted and telling innocent bystanders to fuck off for no reason?
And second of all, if this is what they see at national pride, then isn't funny how that same pride gets swept under the carpet as soon as the Canucks lose a game?
bastards!
Date: 2003-04-23 12:45 pm (UTC)I must have been groped by about 15 people (guys & girls included), and had to elbow my way thru the crowd of assholes back to the table from the washroom. Most of us who would have stayed later left early cause we couldn't handle the fucking testosterone in there. It felt like a fight was going to erupt any second, and you could practically smell the blood in the room.
We were getting pretty pissed off by lecherous creeps and skanky women, and the dancefloor was coated in booze.
We finally had enough and left. If that's what Tuesday's will continue to be like, count us out.
And if that is what a "Hockey Fan" is like, they can go fuck themselves...
Celebrating Sports my ass...it's just an excuse to be an obnoxious drunk asshole.
And if the Canucks would have lost, there would have been another friggin riot.

Did you see the amount of young hoochie girls they let in with the Canucks, up at the seating area behind the railing? It was pathetic. some of those chicks couldn't have been older than 19.
