Penguin/Yeti baseball, anyone? (superb timewaster!)
So yeah, this is what I spent MY day doing. Not that I'm addicted, I can stop anytime. (Like 12:30AM...:eyes:)

I had ALL my friends beat too, till Mr. Smartypants-Juan-from-Portland-via-Brazil decided to be an utter schmuck and get 588.8. x(
(My high was 382.4.)

Have at it! :D

It will drive the next quarters' productivity measures through the floor and trigger a double-dip recession that will doom Bush. Cheney will be indicted! Condi Rice will get a guest spot on Average Joe 3!

Thanks to our friend the Yeti and his pal the Penguin.

On Edit: 316.6 is my best...so far!

12. variant: what's you're SHORTEST bunt?
Edited on Wed Jan-21-04 07:44 PM by 0rganism
i.e., smallest distance greater than zero.

Can you land the penguin in under 100? under 50?

79.3 is my shortest so far.

edit: Blammo! 65.4!

YAY! You've restored my self esteem after an earlier (previously considered failure) shot of 36-ish ft. :D

15. I *REALLY* don't deserve your praise....
I've not eaten, bathed, or moved from this spot for over 36 hours now, only PLAYED THE GAME...<makes zombie noises>

I keed, but seriously, I may be starting a support group thread in the near future...:D
