Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:04 PM
pouts. I'm not authorized to view that site. I take it flying turkeys are involved? As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
Posted by: casey | November 20, 2007 at 03:05 PM
Annie, I guess turkeys CAN fly.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:05 PM
psychic simul case!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:06 PM
Thanks Siouxie! Now, will you make me a sammich before I take a nap?
Posted by: casey | November 20, 2007 at 03:07 PM
Not well, casey. Not well.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | November 20, 2007 at 03:07 PM
Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!
Posted by: casey | November 20, 2007 at 03:08 PM
*snork* casey! such a classic!
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:09 PM
ummm... all it does for me is open a new window.
Posted by: judi | November 20, 2007 at 03:12 PM
Come on judi, you can come over here and pout with me in the corner.
Posted by: casey | November 20, 2007 at 03:14 PM
judi, you have to wait till it loads. That happened to me too at first.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:15 PM
In other words, do NOT follow the instructions on the screen and "click". It'll load up eventually.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:16 PM
27,359 and i ended up in a bucket of gravy?
the other game, turkey to go is fun too!
Posted by: crossgirl | November 20, 2007 at 03:18 PM
LOL, Casey. That's what I was thinking, too.
Posted by: gjd | November 20, 2007 at 03:19 PM
Oooh, 75,804. And towards the end there, I was really not doing anythign to control it.
Posted by: KOW | November 20, 2007 at 03:20 PM
Huh. I just tried to open it again and got directed to The Home of Lenny Loosejocks. If y'all need me, I'll be checking to see how loose Lenny's jocks really are.
Posted by: casey | November 20, 2007 at 03:23 PM
I got 14,663 on my fourth attempt.
My second attempt I shot straight up into the air and my turkey fried on re-entry and made a crater when it landed. I only netted a 1852 on that one, but it was worth it!
Posted by: Kristie | November 20, 2007 at 03:31 PM
-272. I think I didn't do it right.
Posted by: gjd | November 20, 2007 at 03:31 PM
Boy, I can't tell you how much enhancement my productivity has gained from this!
Posted by: Schadeboy | November 20, 2007 at 03:34 PM
42,694 first try. Off to try Kristie's method and launch Thursday's lunch into orbit.
Posted by: Doc Rick | November 20, 2007 at 03:37 PM
Thanks, Schade. My office employees won't be getting paid this week but I'm having LOADS of fun!!
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:37 PM
83,650... and now the turkey's sitting in a pan of gravy like it's a hot tub!
Posted by: Steve (not that one) | November 20, 2007 at 03:38 PM
An outstanding Thanksgiving diversion, Mr. Barry, and thank you! Surely you’ll recall from your 5th grade social studies class that this game pays tongue-in-cheek homage to that glorious first Thanksgiving feast of October 8, 1621, in which hapless “Pilgrims” -- from the Latin peregrinus, or “unable to feed oneself due to Puritan-based genetic stupidity” -- invited the local Wampanoag Indians to a celebratory harvest feast by firing live turkeys at them from a distance of more than 250 yards, a new Colonial record for slingshot-fired fowl which buried Sir Walter Raleigh’s 209-yard effort on the island of Bermuda in, oh, let’s say 1587. Of course, members of The Virginia Company™ (“Look, A Virgin Continent! Let’s Exploit It!”) long contested Raleigh’s record, as the chicken he fired into a group of Afro-Caribbean natives was rumored to be possessed of illegal quantities of “voodoo.”
The Wampanoag retaliated against this unprovoked turkey bombardment by teaching the Pilgrim settlers how to grow corn, which now accounts for more than 98% of the average American’s diet and 100% of our Alternative Energy, at least until the Willie Nelson French-Fry Burning Diesel Engine and Deep-Fat Fryer is launched some time in 2017.

I've had the gravy, the crater...and the burnt to a crisp turkey.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:41 PM

And and personal best at 91,356!! made a nasty crater too!
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:49 PM
LOL, Steve - I noticed that, too! Funny.
Good one Rick! I can't seem to get past about 25,000.
Posted by: DeskDiva | November 20, 2007 at 03:54 PM
The trick us to get it to eat the corn so that it gives it more flapping power.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:57 PM
Ah, Elvis - how we've missed you!
Posted by: DeskDiva | November 20, 2007 at 03:58 PM
Damn you, Schade!! I. must. work. NOW.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 03:59 PM
Siouxie - I thought your days of flings with turkeys were over.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 20, 2007 at 03:59 PM
Annie, I guess I still like to gobble every once in a while ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 04:02 PM

How do you collect corn? If I only had kid to teach me this stuff. I still can't record a DVD, or figure out remotes. Hopeless.
Posted by: ubetcha | November 20, 2007 at 04:03 PM
ubetcha, as it flies...it "eats" the corn and gets more "power"
Posted by: Siouxie | November 20, 2007 at 04:04 PM
kid"s"
I can't even type today. Geesh.
Posted by: ubetcha | November 20, 2007 at 04:05 PM
Sorry, Siouxie. If it's any consolation, I've been just as productive.

Utah State University may not have a great football team (118th out of 119) but we can fling turkeys! 195,476

-8576. *Negative*. I don't know whether to consider it a blessing or a curse to be so inept at slacking...

I'm giving it 2 tries:
1) 61,464
2) 247,876
I wonder what units those are in? Feet? That would make the second go almost 47 miles... not too shabby for a half-roasted turkey.
Posted by: Daniel | November 20, 2007 at 09:28 PM
Okay, best ever: 372,646. The force was with me.
Posted by: Auntie M | November 20, 2007 at 09:51 PM
409,612 - stretch the buzzard all the way to the left horizontally and reach nirvana...
Posted by: eh? | November 20, 2007 at 11:57 PM
60,878 on the third try.
*goes back to enhancing productivity*

198,998! I kid you most definitely NOT!
Posted by: tj | November 21, 2007 at 08:42 AM
Okay, anyone who got over 200,000 needs to grow up and get a life. For anyone who got less than that, NEENER!!

Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | November 21, 2007 at 09:18 AM
This is kind of like the earlier "productivity enhamster" posted some time back, only "for dummies." The hamster game was WAY cooler. I'm just saying.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Posted by: jt | November 22, 2007 at 08:50 AM
This is a "real" productivity enhancer :-)
Smacklet
A friend sent it to me and I am much more productive now... But it kinda takes the fun out of slacking...
