http://www.poohsticks.com is simply the best game ever, and this is the virtual version...
Liz, Helen and I are currently in a game...
| QUOTE |
| Everyone gathers together on the bridge in anticipation of another fine game of pooh-sticks. You stand dangling below the bottom rail by the left bank of the river, Hazlet stands in the middle, leaning right over the edge, Mony stands blissfully hovering just off the surface of the bridge, c2R stands near to a protected species, of the sort where underneath one might find a piece of eight, LizRiley stands next to Imogen, chuckadedoodah stands underneath the whisky shelf, gazing in loving admiration, and pondering which one to try next, mooniewerewolf stands on one leg leaning over the rail, Eeyore's Best Friend stands on a wobbly board, but not so wildly that someone would chance to fall off, Bum, super tough security bear stands on the top rail so that he can keep on eye on everyone and Jaz* stands pondering what the heck went on beneath Pooh Bridge to cause some of the sticks to take two hours and longer to float from one side of the narrow bridge to the other. And they're off! A soft, fluffy and stolen pair of house elf socks is shot downstream from a large cannon by you, a flippin' massive branch is dropped carefully by Hazlet, a Mario Lemieux Swift and Sacred High Holy Hockey Stick is zinged expertly by Mony, a very full up can of five star petrol is dropped in a jaded manner by c2R, a Long and thick Stick is chucked like a baseball in the world series by LizRiley, a bitter and twisted wizard's stick with a knob on the end is chucked (naturally) by chuckadedoodah, a small smooth piece of wood placed through nenya is dropped gracefully out of her left hand by mooniewerewolf, a long and gnarlled sharp stick is thrown wildly by Eeyore's Best Friend, a small piece of chocolate is dropped into the water with a splash by Bum, super tough security bear and a foul mouthed evil elf who seems too dense to appreciate the great honor afforded him by being allowed to participate in such a grand event as this is gently nudged kicking and clawing off the edge of the railing by Jaz*. Everyone watches their 'sticks' disappear under the bridge, then you all rush to the other side to wait for the results... |

When shall we all meet again
To play some Pooh Sticks in the rain...?
We used to have ten pin bowling nights as well. Nome is the Queen of those. I've never seen someone get so many strikes!
Shall we all meet up and have a silly hour or so? What time's good for people?

Ah well. Perhaps next time.

That really nice person :worthy,
I had to see for myself. But I see that efforts to thwart the above mentionned revenge have been appropriatley taken. I was going to offer my assistance as you sought your revenge, but it seems to be unnecessary. Ah well, perhaps next time.
Still open for pooh sticks!

On second thought never mind. I just realized the site is undergoing a revision. 
Maybe a chat then. Anyone fancy that? I'm starting to sound like Dr. Seuss in the Cat in the Hat.

When you go to the website it says this:

| The Third Incarnation of Virtual Pooh Sticks will be coming soon |
Which I can only determine to mean the PTB are redesigning or revising the site. We must have patience until our beloved Pooh Sticks returns.

i didn't read through all the posts, but what is pooh sticks?
Posted by: bart Dec 5 2003, 10:30 PM
Only the greatest game ever invented, and one that requires much innate natural skill balanced with years of training.
bart
Posted by: hockeygod Dec 5 2003, 10:44 PM
can someone else explain how tp play pooh sticks? that wonderful dear, bart, decided that it would be much better to endanger my sanity by playing with my mind. i get angry when people start playing with my head. you wouldn't like me when i'm angry.

| QUOTE |
| After waiting for some time, a cheer went up as poohbear6 spotted the short, gray toy mouse belonging to Tigger Cat. Next came poohbear7's broad and brown maple leaf, then poohbear6's long - extra enforced - spaghetti noodle, rocky's sparkly sapphire earrings, bart154ce's twisted & weather beaten stick, Bestest Friend's smooth & twisted with a Celtic Cross imbedded in it for protection and good luck stick, The Worst Witch's a new spell, Julgrodan's fiendishly naughty stick, the J's big rod and finally Willow's Long, Smooth, Shiny, wooden, With i cute lil deadly point at the end Arrow. Afterwards there was much joy and merry-making as all concerned celebrated the conclusion of another successful game of pooh-sticks. After everyone had calmed down it was decided that we should all go back to poohbear7's tent made from pillows and blankets in Washington, USA for a little smackerel of something. The results in full are: 1: Tigger Cat 2: poohbear7 3: poohbear6 4: rocky 5: bart154ce 6: Bestest Friend 7: The Worst Witch 8: Julgrodan 9: the J 10: Willow |

I don't know how to play. Unless I am completely dumb, I don't think it will let me.

| Everyone gathers together on the bridge in anticipation of another fine game of pooh-sticks. You stand Dangling by the feet, from a support joist, Pooh Phlegm stands quivering on the bridge floor almost as though it were alive, Monkey82 stands in a tree above the bridge, Irish Princess stands on the slope just beside the bridge, Della_Luna stands standing on the topmost rail, kittypurrs12 stands clutching the soaken boards beneath the bridge, JJ stands in the middle, Birdy stands in the driest part, Tamarillicent stands crouched below the bottom rail and Gloworm stands on the top rail in the very centre. And they're off! A Soft and sqidgy Half eaten Snickers bar is placed gently into the water by you, a glob of greenish yellow phlegm is sneezed over the rail by one of the contestants and little circular ripples are created in the water by Pooh Phlegm, a slightly moulding banana is hurled by Monkey82, an odd female named rocky is shot out of a circus cannon by Irish Princess, a moss covered rock is hurled by Della_Luna, a scratched up and rather odd smelling bit of carpet is dropped from the paws by kittypurrs12, a sharp hunny pot is shot out by a gun by JJ, a small leafy twig is launched by Birdy, a long rake handle is slung by Tamarillicent and a freshly baked bag of doughnuts is thrown somewhat unwillingly by Gloworm. Everyone watches their 'sticks' disappear under the bridge, then you all rush to the other side to wait for the results... |

Posted by: Della_Luna Feb 22 2004, 09:51 PM
So it was really that easy... and here I was thinking that I had to play a certain number of games or at least stop getting tenth place...
Joe the moss covered rock, meet Eliot the round red rubber bouncy ball !
