HOw does this work? I just drop him on his butt. I must confess I'm not good at games, but I'd really like to be able to hurl him.

Chummy, click once, then click and hold to pull Santa down, then release to throw.
Posted by: bbescuela | December 01, 2004 at 06:01 AM
A few more hours of this and I'm definitely getting coal this year.
How do you get the little elves to run faster?

Is anyone else getting sick of the looped music yet?
Posted by: telcontar | December 01, 2004 at 06:07 AM
Great. Now I really won't get any work done. (What do you mean, "what else is new" . . . ?)

350.4, twice. Can anyone get him all the way past rudolph?

Anybody run the catapult off the edge yet? Quite fun.
Posted by: telcontar | December 01, 2004 at 06:17 AM
WHAT reindeer?

WHAT reindeer?
Posted by: MOTW | December 01, 2004 at 06:22 AM
I not only threw the old man PAST rudolph, I threw him all the way to the south pole!
of course, he was immediately eaten by a pack of wolves when he landed.
Posted by: liar | December 01, 2004 at 06:22 AM
Fun game! 350.4!!
Posted by: Steve | December 01, 2004 at 06:23 AM

327 and only after I've run those dang elves into the abyss nine gazillion times....
Posted by: Higgy | December 01, 2004 at 06:34 AM
what reindeer, yeah. i just kept dropping him on his.... but it is funny.

Yeah, that yodeling is the worst earwig EVER.
Posted by: Lairbo | December 01, 2004 at 06:41 AM
Blast! 346.1 is the best I can muster.
Posted by: Federal Duck | December 01, 2004 at 06:47 AM
Oooh! If you type in "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" while pulling back on the catapult then you generally run out of time and drop everything into the abyss.
However, if you type "The scantily clad vixen dances suggestively whilst returning from the kitchen with fresh drinks and a little something-something she'd like licked off her thigh" while setting the catapult, Santa lands on Rudolph, rides thru a brilliant lightning storm to the Cher Farewell Tour, and then raps a rather baudy version of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

334.3.... I cannot break it. Aaauuuugghh!
Posted by: neophyte | December 01, 2004 at 06:56 AM
Fed, last night was Dine Out for Life here in St. Louis where a number of restaurants contributed 25% of last nights proceeds to AIDS. From the crowd at the restaurant we went to, it was very successful.
****
When I tried to open the link here at work, I got a VERY LOUD 'Ho Ho HO' just as a group of partners passed my office.
Guess I'd better play that game at home.
Posted by: slyeyes | December 01, 2004 at 06:57 AM
I tried that, Christobol, but Cher never stops singing for long enough to let Santa get past the second day of Christmas!
Oh, wait, nevermind, I didn't realize that if you clicked on Cher then the elves beat her up and launch her with the catapault to another country.
Posted by: S. Mark II | December 01, 2004 at 07:00 AM
Ha! I beat all of you ... I sent Santa flying so far it shot him down satan's chimney.
Top that.
Posted by: punky brewster | December 01, 2004 at 07:02 AM
350.4.... But I can't do it again! Aaaauuggghh!
Posted by: neophyte | December 01, 2004 at 07:02 AM
350.4 - Santa's gonna have to lose weight if I'm to get him any farther.
Posted by: Writer's Cramp | December 01, 2004 at 07:02 AM
Got tired of Rudolph's disapproving looks. You think the lazy bum could just back up a little? The elves are lying face down and bloody in the snow after, this is true, 998 desperate attempts to launch Santa into Rudolph's bunghole. I've heard of gerbil fetishes, but for crying out loud... Santa? And why is he going along with this? Rudolph is one sick reindeer. You'd think he's be satidfied with tossing an elf in there, but I guess this might be the reason his nose glows red.

Thank you, Dave and whoever contributed to this "enhancement productivity" item.
I have never laughed so hard. (My head off)
This was sent to all of the "Xmas Flakes" on my list.
*so now, Boogers, you have received your Christmas present for this year!*
*if you don't like it, you can lump, it! (just kinning, (correction; kidding)*
Posted by: kat | December 01, 2004 at 07:17 AM
Why am I trying to toss Santa into Rudolph's butt?

Posted by: judi | December 01, 2004 at 07:46 AM
Insert terrible joke about Judi scoring here:
Posted by: Higgy | December 01, 2004 at 07:49 AM
350.4! I've seen a number of people with that distance... wonder if you even CAN get farther than that? And are we going to hell for enjoying this so much?
Posted by: skoo | December 01, 2004 at 08:04 AM
Crap! I have to wait til I get home to play this - for some reason the web sense thing gathers that this is a game ... but that whole alien on a rock thing wasnt ... go figure.
Posted by: Cheryl | December 01, 2004 at 08:05 AM
348.3 and have to go enroll in yodelling courses now to get this dang song out of my head....

I broke 300. I saw no reindeer. I saw no chimney.
I just can't take any more yodeling.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | December 01, 2004 at 08:20 AM
Okay. I got a 334.3 and there IS a reindeer.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | December 01, 2004 at 08:34 AM
Speaking of anuses, did anyone else find it disturbing and/or amusing that Santa appears to be sodomized by the iceberg tips in the opening animation?

ah, finally! 350.4...I had 348.6 a while ago, and just stopped because I thought you were making that number up...(and maybe I am, too!)
Posted by: S. Mark II | December 01, 2004 at 09:05 AM
Got a couple 350.4s too but nothing better. Wheee!
Posted by: Mike Weasel | December 01, 2004 at 09:08 AM
thanks for the optimistic view on the idea of me ever scoring, higgy.
if only you guys would've run the killers thread up to 70billionthousand posts, maybe i could have gotten the gorgeous guitar player to notice me. but no, you just don't CARE.
heathens!

addicted to throwing santa.....must find way to....beat ......350.4................
Posted by: lil one | December 01, 2004 at 09:27 AM
killers thread? Where was that? And seriously, Judi, if we posted that many times, it might attract the attention of Greg 'Llama' Hill again...
And doesn't Dave play the guitar? Oh, wait, you said gorgeous. Ok, then I got nuthin'.
Posted by: S. Mark II | December 01, 2004 at 09:33 AM
So 350.4 is the max? I can stop now? Whew.
Oh, and Judi, puleez post my contribution. Puleez.
Posted by: Boo Augustus | December 01, 2004 at 10:47 AM
but... how do i find it?
Posted by: judi | December 01, 2004 at 11:07 AM
Amateurs --- I threw him so far he circled completly around the world, snagged a sausage in Germany, a Beer in Holand, some chips in England and then landed back in the bucket.
Kind of like the JFK magic bullet.
Posted by: pants-on-fire | December 01, 2004 at 11:10 AM
Can't stop now Boo - new game since we all got the max. Try to catapult Santa across the gorge for the shortest distance possible. I got 57.2 but I know I can get a shorter distance.

42.2 & Rudolph came over to give Santa a wedgie
Posted by: Writer's Cramp | December 01, 2004 at 11:16 AM
Oh, I almost forgot, he smashed through Punky's window, smooshed the emu into her new furinture, scared cbol off, bounced out the back door and then into the bucket.

Posted by: LabSpecimen | December 01, 2004 at 11:34 AM
I cannot repeat that low score, though. I just got lucky.
Posted by: LabSpecimen | December 01, 2004 at 11:44 AM
I can't get past 329. *pout* What is the point of rudolph????
Posted by: Just | December 01, 2004 at 12:07 PM
Can't get lower than a 40, either. Crap.
*going to sit in corner*
Posted by: Just | December 01, 2004 at 12:10 PM
28.6 - bounced the fat guy right over the abyss...
Posted by: Higgy | December 01, 2004 at 01:00 PM
My lowest was 0.00.
Top that! Or would the correct term be "bottom that"?
Posted by: punky brewster | December 01, 2004 at 01:58 PM
20.8 . . . just like skipping stones.
Posted by: Boo Augustus | December 01, 2004 at 02:28 PM
Although 31.5 seems awfully popular.
