the non family friendly boredom thread for Rich

Friday?  That's like two whole days away 




Caps are technically in 1st place in the division...tied with 42 points with the Islanders, but Caps have played one less game.  (Islanders have 2 more RW though.)


Florida and Tampa Bay also both have 42pts, both with one game in hand (compared to Caps)


42 points is tops in the whole NHL.


Go Caps

next week is worse, after playing back to back
fri and sat the Caps have four days off

I'm surprised it took this long..

the Rags coaching staff has the wuhan

I seen that. Hard to believe all the coaches get put in "protocol" yet all the players are good to go? 

[richkrt99]

They should keep it...(the coaches...and the Wuhan).  The Rags were winning 9-0 by end of second period last night against Philthy without them coaches.  Final was 9-0.
The Rags scored 7 goals in the second period.  Zabadajad had a natural hat trick and 6 points in the second period.  Six points in one period ties Trottier as the only other player in history to do that.

Great time for the Rags to wake up....Caps play the next two against them....then two vs Devils...then two more vs Rags.

Caps need to pound these teams in the next couple weeks....schedule gets harder after that.  Caps play the islanders 5 times and Boston 4 times in April.

Caps have now scored 103 goals in 29 games = 3.55 GPG


Edmonton has 110G in 32G = 3.44 GPG


Tampa Bay 102G in 28G = 3.64 GPG


Caps need to figure a way to reduce there GA though.  Not going to be a lot of big goal scoring games when the games really start to matter...


Tampa Bay is also one of the stingier teams allowing only 67GA giving them the highest goals differential in the league at +35

NY Islanders: Anders Lee out for the season.. Unfortunate. Hate to see those season enders.

Well...there's no Caps hockey for roughly two more days  so here we go....




And since the square poop was so popular (well, with Mick anyway)....


Parrot fish (which have a beak like a parrot) use their beaks to scrape away and nibble at coral...so their poop is almost entirely newly formed sand. Some of the beaches in Hawaii were formed entirely from parrot fish poop.  Those pristine white beaches yuns frolicking on are....not so pristine.


Sloths poop about once a week


Nightingale poop is used in many expensive anti-wrinkle creams.  (talk about getting shit-faced)


Pandas eat a lot...and poop a lot...up to 50 pounds of poop a day.


Bat guano is used to make lipstick.  Yum.  (insert your own shit-eating-grin joke here)


Poop coffee anyone?  Kopi Luwak coffee is very expensive (about $35-100/cup or $100-$600/lb).  It is made from partially digested coffee beans "harvested" from civet feces.  Asian palm civet is a catlike critter.  Austin says "It's a bit nutty"


Neil Armstrong and his crew left behind four bags of poop on the moon.

Eller might play Friday...

https://novacapsfans.com/2021/03/19/bruins-next-two-games-postponed-after-five-players-land-on-covid-19-protocol/

So I am curious as to what constitutes postponing the games?  What is the protocol for postponement?


I mean if you are the Caps and your players stupidly violate a protocol rule....you get 4-5 guys tossed for 4-5 days, but what constitutes the NHL actually stepping in and postponing?


The Rags have had to play basically without their whole coaching staff, but no postponement.


THe bruins games are postponed because 5 players "land on covid-19 protocols"  How did they "land" there?


What's the flipping criteria?

[richkrt99]

I'm bored shitless today.  Working on hour 10 at work so far...family out of town...


Might have to watch a 2018 SC game I have recorded and hit the Honey tonight


(Um...just to clarify....that's referring to drinking the whisky Alta hooked me on...NOT smacking my lovely wife)

[Mickstix]

I think their protocol system is a fluid/moving target. Doesn't seem to have any consistency and it's certainly not transparent. Least not to the fan base.

So it's run by the same folks as Dipshit  DOPS then?


They probably just put a Covid sticker on the back of that DOPS suspension roulette wheel thingy and throw the same darts at it.

Is it really only Tuesday?

- the Argentine lake duck has a penis that's as long as its body.  (female ducks were hear to say....QUACK!!)
- Koala bears have fingerprints like humans - almost identical to humans.
- some turtles can breath through their anus
- female hyenas genitalia looks very similar to a penis - very difficult to differentiate the sex of this animal  (a liberal would say gender, but sex is actually correct)
- mouse sperm is bigger than whale sperm
- banana slugs mate using penises on their heads - which grows out of their head up to 6 to 8 inches long...about the length of the entire slug.
- Elephant penises can be more than 3 feet long and weigh 66lbs, and elephants can use them like a leg to rest on.  (elephant kickstand)  It's also prehensile so he can move it around to scratch "hard to reach" areas.

(figured yuns was getting tired of the poop stats)

So this can't be good..

And I'll now be calling my liberal friends "banana slugs".. As for the elephant info, we'll, some already implement that strategy..
