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.

i'm a hockey fan and i've never understood the need to drive up and down robson honking one's horn all night...what gets me is they were out during the second period honking their horns...makes you wonder just how much of fans they are...i think they just like the excuse to make lots of noise and drive around...yeh hockey fans are like junior soccer hooligans...but you have to give soccer hooligans credit at least they just beat up on each other, and they do it hardcore...
