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...

I missed out on pooh sticks?

You are so very right . . . Pooh Sticks is highly addictive!

so anyone care to tell me wot pooh sticks is?

Oh bother I missed this one. But I am all registered and ready for the next.

~Hershey~

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?

Imogen

Must... play!

FOFLOL - 9pm UK time tonight good for anyone? That's 4pm Eastern...

Imogen

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~

Ah, a dish best served cold. This is getting really interesting . . .

Muahaha!

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!

~Hershey~

LOL I think he's running scared. I was about to animate the decapitation of his Wee Mee

That really nice person :worthy

I'm up for pooh sticks now if you want to play - you'll spot me as imogenimagines in there!

Darn. Logged in and found your game began 2 minutes before I got there. I'm waiting on the bridge ALONE if anyone wants to join . . .

Ack! Drie, we missed you. Bart and I are in the game before, my elf socks are merrily floating down the river. Will see if I can get back as soon as the socks come in and play again!

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.

~H~

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.

~H~

i didn't read through all the posts, but what is pooh sticks?

Only the greatest game ever invented, and one that requires much innate natural skill balanced with years of training.

bart

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.

perhaps this may help

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.
