May. 10th, 2012 06:35 pmHaven't been around much online lately, just dropping by to observe that Vancouver really is a hockey town. This was brought home to me by my thus-far fruitless attempts to procure a Whitecaps FC jersey of the correct size* for a friend's child's upcoming birthday. Yes, I know the Whitecaps suck, and if Major League Soccer operated on a promotion/relegation model, their asses would be toast by now. But what the kid wants, the kid gets. Apparently he's the only person in the Greater Vancouver area who didn't get the memo that he lives in a hockey town.
Please note that this post is not a plea for assistance. I will shortly fire up Google and figure it out. I just feel like bitching about the fact that it's not quite as simple as I'd assumed. In fact, with the time I've wasted writing this post, I probably could've sorted it out by now. But lo, the lure of bitching on the internet is greater than the lure of solving problems.
* Obviously when I say "the correct size", what I really mean is "the size bigger than the size he currently wears" but that should go without saying when shopping for children's clothing. The little bastards grow like crazy.
