[Monique]

I was in a competitive game on MSN [:D]

[jimmy p]

i was in a competitive game, and got 323.4 then just before my friend left, he sent me a pic of him getting 323.5 [*(] . I feel so inadequate!

[Andy]

Im bored and the Link aint working!

[jimmy p]

Hmmm you just dont have enough patience.

[Dimitri Terryn]

I'm getting a 404...

But seeing as you mention distances, I assume this is the infamous "Smack the Pingu" game...

[jimmy p]

it is indeed the 'smack the pingu' game. That has stopped working [*(] whats the point in that??? GAR!! just cos i bring it to everyones attention it stops working.

[Andy]

[jimmy p]

What is also fun is to see what the smallest distance you can hit it is...and i mean HIT...the smallest i have hit it is 228.6

[jimmy p]

[brum]

593.5 is the maximum on the penguin smack game


6 or 7 people ive talked to have gotten that as their high score

[Monique]

This deserves a thread on its own, but anyhow.. any knows the pink panther?

The imagery is just classic! [:D]

The key to the penguin game is to hit a line drive so he slides across the snow a few times... If you hit it too high, he buries into the ground and doesnt bounce for that extra 50-100 units.

i just got 593 flat...

More boredom relief: I've been reading this account and it is truely amazing [8)] http://www.goodthink.com/$$tablecontents.html

On a whim, Patrick Combs deposited into his bank's ATM machine one of those "fake" checks you get in a junk mail letter, never expecting it to get cashed. But, to his surprise, they did cash it. That was only the beginning of his fascinating true story. Hear his amazing saga from beginning to end.

I should've gone to sleep two hours ago.. but I just have to finish the story..
