593.5

The trick is not to get the beak stuck in the snow, I've found.

I got just about that once; but then tried for and achieved an all time low of 241.7

Great just what I don't need, another thread to have the crap beaten out of me.

My high is 588.4. I learned to whack sooner than I think I should!

This is fun! Also harder than it looks. My high so far is 490.6, but I'll keep trying. It's not like I have anything else to do.....

Spaw and the boys have been wackin their birds on the Penguin Liberation thread for the past few days. So far Spaw's batting 595.5, BillD has 595 and I've wacked a 593, all on sliders.

I got 555 once. mostly I'm hitting in the high 400's. This is the most fun I've had all day. Thanks, Raptor.

I can't believe I sat here wacking penguins... best I got was 557, but the satisfaction of out scoring my teenage son... priceless.

it only took me thirty three tries to match Freddie's 593.5. I hate you Raptor!

Oh, geez, the kids are going to love this. . .I'd better practice some so I can show them up at first. I hit about 531--but there were some zeros also. Waited too long.

I only got 500. I'm about as good as this as I am at anything requiring me to hit a moving object with a bat. I keep "skying" the bird, so it's ending up in a nosedive.
Called my daughter through to see it, and got the "Oh yeah, I've seen that before." (I hate know-all 17 year olds).

(It's a version of the good old school fĂȘte standby, "splat the rat").

530 is all I'm going for thanks to the slide and bounce.

Probably due to my slow dialup, or my old machine, I haven't hit one yet... or it could just be my senility...

593.5.............so far..........but I have started the selective breading programme for the Pengins...........the upturned beak model should be ready soon.

Woohoo! almost 500 with a nose digin and approaching 600 with a skip and a slide. I'm lousy at this sort of hand-eye coordination.

From: Bill D

correction..my 595 was NOT on a slider...the best I've done on a slider was about 544...and I'm about convinced that there is a VERY random factor involved. I can see little difference in swings which get 450 and those which get 550...

586.1 in the air, and 576.6 sliding... highly suspicious.

From: Bill D

ok, folks! *grin*...confident as I am in the power of numbers, Google and human curiosity, I did a search...the first hit was this .It seems we are playing a hacked version of the original designed to increase distance! And it says that 593.5 is the record for it! *big smug grin*

Read about, and play other even MORE enhanced versions, including one that will keep records, it says.

oh, my...the super "rocket-up-the-arse" (Penguin swatting on the Moon) version is just plain silly..I hit one, came to type this, and it is still bouncing!


still bouncing...

ok stopped....score, 5,148 ..ridiculous!

593.5.... but the real test is, how long did it take you to turn off your speakers????

My best so far....490.6....a long time, Whizz. LOL! The real test is how many times do you miss and get shat on by a penguin? This is too fun....

I thought he was just gazing into the distance to see how far he got - and was too stupid to know he had missed.
