so i'm going to the canucks game on monday and contemplating bringing a sign, though i hate bringing signs to anything because i feel like a dick to the guys behind me whenever i hold it up, and i don't know when to hold them up.

so if someone was to convince me to bring a sign, what should it say? the only thing i could think of was:

ROTE FOR VORY

Just his response "Well uh, someones obviously put a lot of time into it uhhh" Its just so hilarious. Its like, this whole campaign while at the same time is kind of fun and nice to him, its just ripping the crap out of him at the same time, and I think he realises that.

If they do, it should be someone with a heavy French-Canadian accent.

"Eh, vode for da Rory Fidzpadrick, eh?"

Actually, there are lots of former Canucks kicking around Vancouver. If you want an easy target, Darcy Rota is GM of the Burnaby Express and usually sits in the stands at every Express game. Him and Rick Lanz usually spend their days at the Express office at Bill Copeland arena. It wouldn't be as hilarious as, say, Eddie Shack, but it's better than nothing, much like Rory himself.

I was really hoping that no-one would buy any more of those types of ads. I really don't mean to be an rear end, but would a little originality kill people around these parts?

Edit : I don't mean SAS when I say "these parts", I mean just the internet in general. Forgive me for being a jaded rear end. :sweatdrop:

Fight, fight fight, for the blue, green and white
That song makes me want to do a take-off on the old Chas'n'Dave Tottenham Hotspur FC song Ozzie's Dream.

"There's a man called Rory Fitzpatrick
He's had a dream for a year or two
One day he's gonna be an all-star
Now his dream is coming true

Rory, we're gonna be behind yah,
We'll work hard until the final bell
We know you're gonna play a bliiinder
If you don't score just say "Oh Well..."

Come on, now,
Rory's on his way to Dallas
Fitzpatrick's gonna do it again
Couldn't stop 'er, hails from Rochester
But skates at G M Place

Rory's on his way to Dallas
The king is climbing his throne
Everybody will be singing
When Fitzpatrick marches on"

lame, I know, but I couldn't stop myself. XD Maybe I'll record it!

Additionally: That forum at voteforrory.com needs moderation. Internet tough guys abound.

I just caught another journalist who's been swept up in the Vote Rory Mania.

However, he does mention, "talk at the league level of throwing out the Fitzpatrick votes."

That, we can all agree, would be a lame decision.

That would be unfair to throw out the votes. Why have a write in section on the ballet if the NHL can then just pick and choose who gets in and who doesn't. Of course, this is just another example of how stupid the vote is. Get the fans involved, but only if they vote for pre-approved players!
