Top score on whack a penguin: 316.7!

First of all: your icon is sheer brilliance.

Secondly: Impressive score! Well done you! I seem to have topped out at 315.2.

And to think I was complete crap at rounders when I was at school...

The icon is wonderful, isn't it? Can't remember where I found it, though.

Ah, but you are a Queen at it in the virtual world! ~hails the queen~

It really is a perfect icon. I have to be very judicious about my icons because I have so few slots, but I see so many wonderful ones to admire.

Yesss! Woo-hoo, Wings! Beat the Pens! :D

(And I promise to root for the Rangers whenever possible.)

Hmm; I seem to be topping out at 319.1. If I try to get it farther, I just end up lobbing the penguin too high and getting it to land vertically on its beak (which, funny!).

Whee! Go you with the face-painting. *g*

I couldn't get beyond 315.2, so you're doing quite well! You're right; when you try to hit it much further, you get a 'pop fly' penguin effect, so they land face-down instead of skidding along. But it's funny! (And frankly, after the game I just watched, intensely therapeutic).

The face-painting was fun and looked great! Unfortunately, they didn't win. :-( They played better, but after 3 overtimes, the other team got lucky. Luckily, our team has another two opportunities to win.

I got 315.2 as well! Well done.

You. Are. Evil.

I did say it was addictive, didn't I? ;-) It's so easy to get sucked into playing one more time... and again, and again, and again...

Heheh, I'm probably going to be playing these games all evening, while trying to keep an eye on the TV at the same time. Not getting great scores at the moment, but that's because Chessie (one of my two cats) is on my lap and impeding my mouse hand.

They're a fun diversion, aren't they? And cats are so very good at 'helping' us with our tasks. *g*

But yikes! What a soul-crushing disappointment! I thought the Wings played a far better game, but in the end, it didn't matter. ~fumes with barely-suppressed rage~

I'm just upset that they'll have to win in Pittsburgh now, where they refuse to even sell tickets to Detroit fans. The city was so excited for once, and now it's just... ugh.
