Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
as a long time member, this thread was also one of the greatest threads in revscene. i continuously checked it through out the day to see the feedback and highlights regarding the parties, news, and the games itself. it'll be sad to see this thread hit the bottom of the threads list and slowly fade off.
i keep checking this thread constantly but there's always so much information being posted that i can't keep up, i'm probably just gonna read through everything when i have the time because there's always so much good information of people's reactions of what they thought about the olympics
i worked as a porter for 2 years, trust me i know all about it :P
I just started working as a busser, and now I understand for the past 2 years when bussers complained about how much they get fucked over. So many people are calling me stupid for taking such a large paycut.
^ because bartenders always jew the porters/bussers
they make and collect/sort all the tips at the end of the night while the bussers and porters have to clean the club, then at the end you get handed a stack of cash, but you never know how much they made that night, or what your "actual" share should have been
good bartenders always give more than the 5% of w/e they are suppose to, but working in the club i was actually pretty good friends with some of these bartenders who consistantly gave me BARELY 5%
it's not much to complain about, but 20-30 every night over the course of a while add's up

Cup pride to me would feel more than the Gold Medal. The medal felt amazing, but the Cup... the Cup I've been waiting for since I was a little kid. It's the Canucks, my Canucks, my city. To the win the cup would be no sweeter.
The Canucks win a Stanley Cup? Probably never. I hope they prove me wrong, but they keep disappointing us every year. I lost faith in them in the early 80's. Besides, how many of them are Canadian? The Olympic gold means way more to me.

If it wasn't for the F1 season starting soon, I'd cancel my cable.
That and the World Cup!

The most hollow championships in Canada were the two back to back years the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series in 1992 & 1993. The 1993 team had NO Canadians at all.

Alert one of the many Royal Canadian Mounted Police, real and otherwise, at the closing ceremonies of the Olympics.
Sidney Crosby's gear has gone missing.
The man who scored Canada's Golden Goal to win Olympic gold in Vancouver returned home without the stick and gloves he used to score them. Maybe his helmet, too, although we're not quite sure on that just yet.
The good news is he did get his mouthguard back.
As soon as Crosby scored the game-winning goal in overtime, Crosby's helmet, gloves, stick and mouthguard all ended up on the ice at the national celebration began. Actually, one of this gloves ended up in the end zone mesh netting above the glass.
When all was said and done, and the yard sale was cleaned up, it was believed both of Crosby's gloves, including the one in the mesh, were put in a bin in the Team Canada dressing room area, as well as his stick.
But somewhere, sometime, between then and when Crosby left, the gloves and stick were nowhere to be found.
Hockey Canada says they are launching a full investigation to see where the equipment may be.
Crosby's mouthguard was returned to him and there's talk that his helmet made it way back to Pittsburgh, but Crosby is the only one who can confirm that and he's playing right now.
haha my bad I didn't think to look there as I thought it fitted here more but it's all good.
On a side note and I'm not sure if you posted this on there yet but Luongo brought his gold medal on his road trip and showed it to Kesler lol
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Just in case Ryan Kesler never got a glance at it on Sunday, Roberto Luongo brought his gold medal along on this road trip.
"I've shown it to Ryan already," Luongo said after the morning skate on Tuesday.
As for the $20,000 he gets for being a Canadian gold-medallist, Luongo said he needs time to think about what to apply it to.
"I haven't decided yet, but I'm probably going to donate it to charity," he said.
Most Canuck Olympians skipped the closing ceremonies, Luongo to be with his family, Daniel Sedin shunning all things Games-related after Sweden was bounced by Slovakia.
Christian Ehrhoff made sure he attended, however.
"For me, the closing ceremony was pretty special," Ehrhoff said.
Sedin, meanwhile, was bursting with pride over the show Vancouver put on, even if he didn't personally feel like joining in the party once he had the time.
"The people were outstanding, Vancouver as a city should be really proud," he said. "If we wanted 20 Swedes [on the Canucks] we could easily get them, they couldn't say enough about the city."
Here's a iphone wallpaper if anyone wants....made it off one of the pictures posted here.

Do you guys know until when we can use our accredation passes as translink passes?
I believe it's until the end of March, but then again there are new accreditation passes for the Para's. But the transit-pass part of the Feb Olympic accreditations should be running until end of March.

to make it "fairer" we're suppose to get a percentage of sales, but we still got jewed regardless, because it use to be at a higher percentage but they dropped it. Granted i've been working this industry for 4 years now, and only 2 months of it, actually bussing so, time will tell. But I've worked nights were bartenders made 700 and i'm busting my ass because were short a busser and we only make 130.
There was so much energy in this city during the games which you even felt when you were sitting at home watching the games but today that energy is gone and reality has set back in.

That's pretty cool. I have to admit, I've been reading the ctvolympics website just to what people are saying and if they're postig any new vids Posted via RS Mobile
I am re watching all the events Canada won a medal to slowly ween myself off. Jennifer Heil is uber cute and you just have to feel for her not taking gold on Canadian soil.
Its nice to be able to enjoy the hockey game without being on nerves but def. not as exciting of course. At least, I can pause and go to the can.
And I have to agree with the above poster, this was by far the best post on RS (or the Olympic hockey thread). I too, found myself checking back every few days.
Funny how little I have in common with most of RS but good to see patriotism bringing everyone together.
