My friend just sent me this game. You have to get the abomitable snowman to hit the penguin as far as yoiu can. Click on the link. Click on the snowman, click on the snowman again to smack on far!

My first one was beginners luck and hit him 317.9. Haven't been able to hit it that far since!

You can keep practicing. Wait until the little guy aproaches around shoulders of the snowman.

Great! I haven't been able to beat my own personal best yet! (Boy what a cruel bunch, batting penquins. Maybe the snowman works for the CAPS and those are Pittsburgh Penguins!)

We're taking out our frustrations over Sens' bad news!

Can they be Phillies Penguins?

They can represent ICAB for all we care today.

Thanks, coach!

I think I found my wheelhouse (but I have to practice to get to 300).

You know, that works! Long time ago, after a painful break up with a friend, I was at a work picnic playing softball. Now I'm not a great player. One of the engineer I worked for yelled, "Come on CALSGR8 (real name goes here), pretend its [ex friend]'s head! I smacked that ball over the 2nd basemen's head for a base hit! I couldn't do it again but its amazing how motivation helps performance! (Guys, don't go there)

Wonder if it's in Seattle. Looks like Sasquatch?

kimnat · « **Reply #15:** December 21, 2007, 02:27:04 PM »

Remember those bopping bags w/ the sand in the bottom (used to have bozo on it when I was a kid)? I got one of those in college and punched it down the hallway one day. BF problems back then. One day recently the kids got on my last nerve w/ one of their never ending arguments. There was an old keyboard going out in the trash that day and I just threw it w/ all my strength onto the concrete porch floor. Keys flew EVERYWHERE! BOY! Was that satisfying! It was one of those moments where hearing the multiple concussioning crash and seeing plastic pieces fly around took the frustration right out of me!

I thought the "snowman" looked kinda funny, too. Oh well. Works for me.

I don't know. We'll have to ask Erica.

It says Yeti on the rock so he might be a cousin of Sasquatch.

I think it's the Himalayan version.

I modified my post. I cannot vouch for this site, only that I found it when I looked up Sasquatch.

Whatever he's called, I like it when he hits a penguin really far!

It's really addictive. Especially when you're frustrated. Is there a marker past 300? My highest is 322. So I didn't know if it was possible to hit it much further.

natsfan1a · « **Reply #24:** December 21, 2007, 03:01:42 PM »

It is. I don't know how far it goes. I haven't gotten much past 320. I have to stop, though. Between that and the freerice.com site, I'm getting RSI in my mousing hand! (On the plus side, my vocabulary score is up to 49/50.)
