317.2, but I'm going to keep trying. :redface:
The biggest problem for me is that the guy swings when I release the mouse button, not when I push it. The arthritis causes my fingers to lock into position sometimes, so I can't govern the release time very well.


Just get some WD40 in there, that ought to lube up the joints.

Thanks a lot, you jerk! I tried it and the first time I lit up a smoke my hand caught on fire. Just see if I ever take your advice again.

I don't know if this is good or not, because I can't get the 'scores' screen to load, but I just fired that cat 1,743ft. :devil:

Hmph...I keep missing the penguin on that one, or sending it on a line drive directly into those spikes. There seems to be a very narrow range where you can swing to actually hit it.

I can't get that page to load either. But I beat you, by just a bit...1,782! :biggrin: Most of my shots are total duds...lots of pop flies right into the venus flytraps. But that one was spectacular! :biggrin:

Considering it is more chance than skill, I'll probably have to play a few more days before I get a score that high. :biggrin:

Alright! 2394 feet of cat travel. Previous best was 2031. Still can't load the damned 'scores' page.

Heh. Just saw this thread, and I guess I should chime in and say that I played Kitten Cannon all summer at work last year. My best was somewhere above 1700. I recommended it to a friend, but she has 2 cats and she thought I was a terrible person. :frown:

I love cats too, but really... can't she tell the difference between group of screen phosphors and a live furball?

Good job Moonbear Superior, we will be there within the hour. If we sneak up quietly, we might catch him in his skivies. :cool:

Must be...an hour seems like an awfully long trip for the supersonic RV...with a guy driving, we'd be going in circles for hours and he'd refuse to ask for directions. With leadfoot Tsu at the wheel, we'd be there in about 15 minutes. :biggrin: :devil:

It won't matter if you're already dead. :biggrin:

Oh, wait, MIH, once you get him in your sights, if he's cute, don't shoot! We'll just tie him up and toss him in the RV and figure out something else to do with him. :devil:

  • #81
Fine, then. I won't shoot to kill. If I aim for the ankle it should just hobble him so he can't run. :devil:

I loved Hypatia's idea, but yours was good, too, Moonie. He deserves to be stuffed and mounted. Or vice versa. We'll see how he looks.

You just had to drag me into this didn't you. I'm going to stuff you into a cannon and find out how far you fly!

"Oh, wait, MIH, once you get him in your sights, if he's cute, don't shoot! "

He won't be so cute after I launch him across the Hudson river :devil:

:smile: Well, it sounds like we can enhance the Sisterhood's armory. We've been holding off on some of the real heavy artillery because it requires two people to operate...one to aim and one to load, but with *melinda* around, it seems she's the specialist we need for loading the ammo while MIH aims and fires. :devil:

That's what you think. I know Melinda's achilles' heel: She loves my cooking. :cool: I'm at her place right now, and let me tell you, you're losing her fast. :biggrin: And I'm not worried about the rest of you either. When the Supersonic RV pulls up later tonight, and you all catch a whiff of my chicken with mushrooms in white bechamel sauce, you will all fall just like her. Your puny weapons are no match for my skills! Muhahahahahaha! :devil:

Is that a dinner invitation? Yes, I'm sure we can stop to eat dinner before tying you up and ...well...doing whatever we decide to do to you. :devil:
