Just for fun... Whack the penguinIt’s time for Yeti batting practice, and his friend the penguin has volunteered. Smack the penguin high in the air, and he’ll end up with his head in the snow. Hit him a little lower, and he’ll bounce along the snow for greater distance. Instructions: Click once to get the penguin to jump, then click and release to swing the club. Note that the penguin will go farther if you can get him to bounce along the snow. You may find it helpful to aim for the penguin’s feet as it falls. There’s a good chance you’ll miss entirely, but when you do get a hit, it’ll go farther.
My highest tonight is 556 feet. My shortest distance, with a hit, is 107.1 feet. →→> Can you do better?

When the boys were little and their mom and I were divorced, I made the mistake of telling the boys " don't piss mom off, I have to listen to her and she sounds like a peguin, WHAA!, WHAA!" of course they told their mom. The running joke all these years has been the mother penguin and her chicks and we get a laugh out of it. I just sent the link to my ex  |

I must be a naturally-born Stealth Attacker/Whacker.
I got a distance of 329.4 ft on my very first swipe.

522.6 first try. Now I want to personally thank you for providing me with another online addiction. Like I don't have enough already. Why, oh why did I open this thread  |

Thank you all for trying it out, and posting your scores / comments. You made me . To those of you that beat my high score...  Can you beat my LOW score? (remember, you have to hit the penguin, in order for it to count!) -I get my share of total misses too.  I do better if I don't focus too much on whacking the poor little thing. I don't try to hit him in any particular place. Heck, I'm just glad to hit him! |

587.1 Beat that. I managed it when I started imagining the penguin to be a snow leopard.  ETA: How did you get 101 feet? The shortest I could get with a hit is 249. |

I just did a 555.1 and then a 574.3. Watch out, Virgil. I'm gaining on you. Hmmm, I just can't figure out why that <<hic>> is. |

What a difference a day makes! Today I am totally missing the penguin 10 times, for every one time I get a hit. Almost all hits result in a head plant. High 578.9 Low 185.3 I got up about 12:30 PM.  I must need some more sleep! -LOL I didn't get to sleep until about 7:30 this morning. |
