Blue graphic with white text: Save the Caps Vancouver IS A FOOTBALL CITY. Our club belongs here. The Vancouver Whitecaps have called this city home since 1974. Fifty-two years of history. A MLS Cup Final. 54,000 fans in the stands. The fans have shown up, and now it's time for the city and province to do the same.

Vancouver supporters have launched SaveTheCaps.com

...now, some may argue the expansion era was bad, but I wasn't alive then, therefore, it doesn't count.

Also, we don't mention the late '90s.

And just like that, the worst #Canuck season is over.

I'll say it again... the soccer side of Vancouver will have you. We win trophies! ;)

It's official... Canada to play TWO countries in our first #worldcup game in Bosnia AND Herzegovina. How's that even fair?! 😜

Terrible jokes aside, never thought I'd see the day Italy missed THREE World Cups in a row.

Notes from the client:

“Can you make it pop… but less?”

It’s how I thought it was pronounced outside of Dutch, haha.

And that’s a Golden YES!!

If I were the #Goldeneyes coach, this would be my locker room big speech…

(I’m late to the party)

…but also because Dutch, you really need to get throaty with the H sound at the front. Like you’re coughing up a hairball.

...for example, they made learning about masking/shame, radical acceptance, and trauma-informed group therapy work in a demon-slaying metaphor. Also, the neurodivergent coding of Zoey is super cool.

The heavy lifting this movie did is impressive. Yes, I'm still obsessing several months later.

K-Pop Demon Hunters is the Citizen Kane of our time. I will die on this hill. I've been deep diving into this movie for the gazillionth time and just keep more things I like about it.

I thought of saying "certified human cactus", but the vibes here need something more sinister.

It’s was a tough sports day in this city, but I still love it. The #Goldeneyes simply deserved better vs a ghoul cosplaying as a wrestling heel, while the #Whitecaps were cursed by me being in the building… I’m sorry, btw. We still cool, right?

How many more studies does your city need proving that people on bikes and on foot spend more on shopping streets than people in cars?

But the store owner LOVES parking in that spot right outside…

Bike-lanes mean business. #UrbanTruth

Watching the #canucks game and hearing the in-stadium music playing Zombie by the Cranberries is a dubious choice at best. Yes, it’s St Patrick’s Day, Yes, the Cranberries are Irish, and yes that song is about the troubles. A bit of a downer if you look into the song’s meaning.

Slightly more practical.

Sadly, we could not sneak into other lineups to meet the other players. Mental note for next time… need a better disguise.

Can we have a parade to celebrate this?

I pass this building often enough to suspect it is a front for some dubious mob money laundering racket.

The way this thumbnail cropped I thought we were legit being offered river otters for a chaos giraffe.

I’ve come to realize the least problematic personalized hockey jersey my son owns is an R2D2 geeky jersey.

The headline of “male athlete disappoints” has become so common, my faith in role models is now squarely focused on fictional droids and women athletes. This is the way.

I feel like the bag of dicks deserved better in this case.

…avoid European soccer games. 😜
