Pooh sticks 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?

Oh bother! I missed it too. Will certainly be a challenge across so many time zones? I'm usually online after the kids are in bed which in the central time zone makes it the middle of the night UK time.

Ah well. Perhaps next time.

~Hershey~

Forgot me PS.

PS: What is this snape.gif ?
