Nah, he comes earlier in the verse: "I see Matthews with Sunday night's grin." (Instead of Mahomes, as though it was two of them that faced off).

It's too bad, for my purposes, that the Leafs don't themselves play on Sunday. B/c if the Chiefs and the Leafs were both to win, it would make my limerick (retrospectively) extra funny. But I assume all the other leagues just mostly give NFL its big day.

FWIW, hockey's big headliner day is Saturday: "Hockey Night in Canada."

I've already got the earlier rhymes, trooper, but thanks. And in fact, the bit about the grin is really too indirect for my purposes in that limerick, but it will have to do. In the limerick, I'm pretending to know sports so poorly that, in the Super Bowl, I'm betting on the Leafs against someone else choosing the Chiefs. But I in fact do know sports so poorly, that when the line ended up needing a top player on the Leafs, I had to ask here.

Probably by mutual agreement between the two leagues. Here in the states, everything is very carefully orchestrated so nobody steps on anybody's toes. High School football is Friday, college on Saturday and pro on Sunday (and Monday and Thursday).

I appreciate the thought that the Leafs would be anywhere near the Stanley Cup. If you knew hockey, you'd realize how funny that thought is.

What happens to those of us who know hockey and know for a fact that it's played on foot, on a grassy surface?

That's field hockey. The other forms are ice hockey, floor hockey, and street hockey.

I've played floor hockey and helped mind the nets for street hockey (scoot them over to the side of the road whenever a car comes along).

If they won the Stanley Cup, their fans would burn down southern Ontario.

Ok, follow-up question. Is there any way of knowing who Matthews favors, or might favor, to win the Super Bowl? Has he posted on his social media accounts? Or are his rooting interests in other sports than hockey a known thing?

(B/c if he's an Eagle's fan, he could have a "grin" on Sunday, even if it's not his own team winning in his own sport. So my limerick's Super Bowl call could be correct in a round about way.)

 

[Kyriakos]

Almost no one cares about hockey in Europe. Maybe some hyperborean countries & Czechia

I've only heard of him at basketball games, maybe a couple baseball games. Never the NFL.

I have a double-walled plastic mug. Water somehow got trapped between the two walls. I don't see any seams and leaving the cup sitting out no water leaks out. Is it possible to get the water out without doing something like drilling holes?

 

[thetrooper]

Just get a new one. Did you put it in a dishwasher?

It is possible that if you leave it in the sun or somewhere warm the warm will evaporate and find its way out.

Sure, if you're willing to pay for it. Don't have a dishwasher.

It's the middle of February in Atlantic Canada. Guess I should wait a few months.

Put it over/near a heating vent.

 

[Arakhor]

You could try putting it in the microwave, or, more prosaically, pouting boiling water into it and leaving it to stand.

 

[Gori the Grey]

Can some of you math-inclined people her tell me how many orders of magnitude 70 years is over one day?

 

[Cutlass]

Probably not. There's likely a tiny crack where the pieces were molded together. Water could get in when you washed it. Not much of anything can be done about that.

 

[Takhisis]

Can some of you math-inclined people her tell me how many orders of magnitude 70 years is over one day?

1 year= 365¼ days.
70 × 365¼ = 25567,5 days

Does this help?

 

[Gori the Grey]

No, cuz what I don't understand is "orders of magnitude."
