- Do you say ad'-min or ad-min' ? #
- On the bus, heading downtown. I need my head examined. #Canucks #
- Sitting on the road with 100000 friends http://instagr.am/p/Fr-XE/ #
- 7 mins in, 2-0 Boston and ppl are leaving the Fan Zone already! #Canucks #
- 4-0, 10 mins in and the crowd downtown is seriously thinning now. #Canucks #
- The crowd downtown before the exodus #canucks http://360.io/hW7NeG #
- Home from downtown – Q wasn't going to make it thru another period. Canada Line was packed with the disenchanted. #Canucks #
- Exactly RT @buzzbishop: @AnthonyFloyd no zambonis at a street party ;) #
- Wow, who's that redhead that scored? #
- Wait a minute, did the flight with the Sedins finally arrive? #
- Wow, no celebration on that goal at all by the Canuck line. #
- Thankfully we don't have to go back to Boston. Ever again. #
- Hey @gpsforthebrain, you got your wish: Game 7 in Vancouver while you're here. Yay? #
- Not a chance! RT @TheresaLalonde: Three more days 'til the beards come off boys. #canucks #
- Grey Cup upper bowl tix at $240 each? Erm … no thanks. #
- Discovered today that my 2.5 yr old thinks the words to "Oh Canada" are "Oh Canada, where the bunnies live." Cute, but … huh? #
- Dear Twitter friends: if you want to add me as a FB friend, that's great … but I don't really use it. <shrug> #
- Yikes, Mason Raymond out w/ "vertebrae compression fracture". No call on play. No backboard to take him off the ice. Good ol' hockey game. #
- Got my @car2goVancouver membership package yesterday in the mail (!). Oddly excited to give it a go next week. #
- It takes quite a bit for me to block a "real" person on twitter. Cowardly anonymous hockey twits blathering inhuman things get blocked, tho' #
- It's your last chance to vote for @CarouselTheatre & help them win a $25k grant to renovate their classroom space! http://bit.ly/kCMcqz #
- Had a #GirlWithAKnife tell us stories of strange men in her bed and burning cars in Manchester. She tells good stories. #
- Most quintessential 80s song? http://youtu.be/E5Lec3m1pLY And not just because of Video Hits. #
- This is *exactly* how I read it in my head RT @SlvrLambStudios: Samuel L Jackson narrates Go The F**k to Sleep http://youtu.be/5yqVnCAiWHw #
- Geocaching griefer(s) have stolen the last APE cache in N America, and @moun10bike has archived it. Another historic cache bites the dust. #
- Griefers suck. There's always someone who wants to spoil the fun. #geocaching #
- Wow, step away from Twitter for a few minutes and suddenly you're going to Brazil. #
- The Big Picture tackles the Japanese tsunami zone, 3 months later http://bo.st/kskGMJ #amazing #
- Coming up on the the middle of today's total lunar eclipse http://eclipse.slooh.com/ #
- And some details from National Geographic about today's eclipse http://bit.ly/m1RAQX #
- Customer with important deadline today isn't cooperating with Game 7 related plans. Grrrrr. #
- Sad that it comes to this RT @VancityBuzz: American Apparel on Granville is ready for a riot #Canucks http://yfrog.com/hsyeywoj #
- Horton skates in warmup, Rome is suspended. Raymond has a broken back, Boychuk plays in Game 7. What's wrong with this picture? #canucks #
- OK, that's it. Productivity has asymptotically approached nil. Time to bail on work. #game7 #canucks #
- Can you imagine being the kid waving the towel at centre ice tonight? #canucks #awesome #
- Boo! #
- NHL: I hope you spend summer deciding on what is a penalty and what isn't. Because this whole playoff has been utterly awful, inconsistent. #
- Boston has had more shorthanded goals this series than Vancouver powerplay goals. #specialteamsmakeadifference #
- Aidan checked out of the game about halfway through the second. Sadly, so did the Canucks. #
- I hoped the crowd would be able to control the hooligans. Apparently not. Classy. #
- Police gearing up in riot gear. That'll help. #
- Hmmm. Fires outside the Post Office. And, the posties have been locked out. Coincidence? #
- Recognize these goons? http://yfrog.com/kj9w9uj Let @VancouverPD know. Don't let thugs rule our city. #
- Oh look. They're rioting in Boston too. W.T.F.!? #
- Explosions now heard downtown live on CBC camera #
- Probably another car that was turned over, set on fire #
- That second car on fire was a Prius. I don't think you want to be in that smoke. #vancouver #hooligans #
- I want to know who parks their cars in the "Fun Zone" area in game 7 anyway. Doesn't seem …. prudent. #
- What kind of liquor-fueled dumbass taunts riot police? #
- An acrid smell is drifting across False Creek, and not the usual acrid smell. #yvr #
- How many of these hooligans are from the APC? #
- CBC reports Abbotsford PD getting into riot gear, heading into downtown Vancouver #
- I guess we're going back to "No Fun City", huh? #
- Does Vancouver PD have a water-cannon? #
- Sigh. I don't look forward to explaining this to my 6 yr old tomorrow. #
- Sure looks like The Bay is now on fire. #Vancouver #yvrriot #
- Getting sick of seeing the rioting. Would be happier with a much bigger police presence. #
- London Drugs on Granville & Georgia is being emptied by looters, live on CTV cameras. #
- Asshole neighbours still partying, loud music etc. In a condo-complex. Somehow I doubt a noise complaint will get too far tonight. #
- Hmmm. Eyes getting itchy. Chemicals drifting over from downtown? #
- Smelling the smoke/tear gas now in Fairview Slopes. Eyes irritated. Thanks, asshats. #
- Huh. @stevecbc reporting all the downtown @starbucks are closed this morning, without explanation. #
- Watching the morning news, it's amazing how clean the streets are now. Amazing job by the @CityofVancouver cleanup crews. #
- Who is Brock Anton? One of Vancouver's finest hooligans: http://t.co/U5btZEU (via @buzzbishop) #moron #arresthisass #yvrriot #
- Pottermore? http://bit.ly/jO6Spx (cc: @LeftCoastMama ) #
- Don't know how accurate this is, but someone seems to think they know who torched a VPD car last night: http://bit.ly/lzw62L #
- The implications of hooliganism run deep. @alexishinde eloquently talks about how it affects her and her family http://bit.ly/kaNr5r #
- Sigh. Detroit media is upset b/c someone called Vancouver "the Detroit of Canada" and they don't think it's a fair comparison. #vanriot #
- Rex Murphy (who has long since become the Andy Rooney of the CBC) had an excellent and pointed commentary on the YVR hooligans tonight. #
- Peace and order prevails … until the next hockey game! (1:01 video, *hilarious*) http://youtu.be/8LBxFmixh70 (via @Kimli ) #
- CBC news reports teen photographed setting VPD cruiser on fire then subsequently named & vilified online has been turned in by own father #
- So, good, the online targeting was accurate. And apparently effective. The kid will now have to face the consequences of his actions. #
- Great. One of my internet doppelganger's girlfriends is on Twitter. :facepalm: :blockity-blockity-block: #
- Maple Ridge is a "wealthy suburb of Vancouver"? http://bit.ly/lgilrT Huh. #
- Mantracker! #
- Almost 11 years since our wedding reception and I still expect to hear "Friday I'm In Love" following the THX sound #customplaylistFTW #
- Adult cat needs a new home (Vancouver) :( Pic: http://t.co/a7wyDv6 Craigslist: http://bit.ly/jqF9xC Contact @_Cuddlefish_ #
- Of all the posts about online "shaming" of YVR rioters, none have captured my opinion better than @smuttysteff's: http://t.co/s2rTQxL #
- A grey day on the South Coast, but finally found the World Cache final #geocaching http://instagr.am/p/GBw2w/ #
- Lynn Headwaters http://instagr.am/p/GB9s4/ #
- So, it was raining in the rainforest on the mountain. But I picked up 15 geocaches! http://instagr.am/p/GCxIs/ #
