Thing is, it take 15 minutes for the darn penguin to stop bouncing. I've got five of them going right now.

Rob and Tom,
I have tried to beat you guys but you are the masters..
Rob, I know you asked us to delete this thread but I see no harm in it as it is light hearted and it is in the OT forum. I for one think that others may find it entertaining."There’s a lot of work being done today that doesn’t have any soul in it. The technique may be the utmost perfection, yet it is lifeless. It doesn’t have a soul. I hope my furniture has a soul to it." - Sam Maloof

Yeah, I figured we probably shouldn't be posting so many meaningless pictures with the recent technical issues fresh in our minds. Looks like Tom & I got rid of most of the posts with pics so I guess we can just leave it alone.
Anyway, my record is now 14415.1.

Hey Rob, I love that game, and so do my kids, they have played it many times, and we all try things like getting the shortest hit, or the longest no bounce, you know, head stuck in the snow...
Good clean fun!

I couldn't break 300 in a bunch of tries. Got a whopping 69 feet once...the pop up in the air and straight down is kinda funny, with his beak stuck straight down.

So how are you guys getting the real long shots? Am I missing something here? I got over 300 a couple of times, but nothing better than 319.
Edit in: Okay, I folled the second link, and made it out to 7261.6 with the first shot. Higher scores, but a lot more boring. The first one is more fun. I wasted a fair amount of time on it!
Edit again: Second try on the long shot one, and it went out to 12,448.2!Last edited by Bill Grumbine; 12-23-2006 at 10:24 PM.
