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 | 03:05 PM on November 20, 2007
Annie, I guess turkeys CAN fly.

Thanks Siouxie! Now, will you make me a sammich before I take a nap?
Posted by: casey | 03:07 PM on November 20, 2007
Not well, casey. Not well.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | 03:07 PM on November 20, 2007
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 | 03:08 PM on November 20, 2007
*snork* casey! such a classic!
Posted by: Siouxie | 03:09 PM on November 20, 2007
ummm... all it does for me is open a new window.
Posted by: judi | 03:12 PM on November 20, 2007
Come on judi, you can come over here and pout with me in the corner.
Posted by: casey | 03:14 PM on November 20, 2007
judi, you have to wait till it loads. That happened to me too at first.
Posted by: Siouxie | 03:15 PM on November 20, 2007
In other words, do NOT follow the instructions on the screen and "click". It'll load up eventually.
Posted by: Siouxie | 03:16 PM on November 20, 2007
27,359 and i ended up in a bucket of gravy?
the other game, turkey to go is fun too!
Posted by: crossgirl | 03:18 PM on November 20, 2007
LOL, Casey. That's what I was thinking, too.
Posted by: gjd | 03:19 PM on November 20, 2007
Oooh, 75,804. And towards the end there, I was really not doing anythign to control it.
Posted by: KOW | 03:20 PM on November 20, 2007
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 | 03:23 PM on November 20, 2007
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 | 03:31 PM on November 20, 2007
-272. I think I didn't do it right.
Posted by: gjd | 03:31 PM on November 20, 2007
Boy, I can't tell you how much enhancement my productivity has gained from this!
Posted by: Schadeboy | 03:34 PM on November 20, 2007
42,694 first try. Off to try Kristie's method and launch Thursday's lunch into orbit.
Posted by: Doc Rick | 03:37 PM on November 20, 2007
Thanks, Schade. My office employees won't be getting paid this week but I'm having LOADS of fun!!
Posted by: Siouxie | 03:37 PM on November 20, 2007
83,650... and now the turkey's sitting in a pan of gravy like it's a hot tub!

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

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 | 04:03 PM on November 20, 2007
ubetcha, as it flies...it "eats" the corn and gets more "power"

Sorry, Siouxie. If it's any consolation, I've been just as productive.

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 | 09:28 PM on November 20, 2007
Okay, best ever: 372,646. The force was with me.

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!

This is a "real" productivity enhancer :-)
A friend sent it to me and I am much more productive now... But it kinda takes the fun out of slacking...
