Oh Crap Mr. A!  Like I don't have enough addictive time wasting behavior!

I only got 11... I'll be back...

Joe

And you wasted your four-thousandth post on this?

Yeah, yeah.  I only managed 13.

Danno

I had to stop at 22 because when I missed 23, I suddenly doubled over with a cold sickening wave of shame at having thrown away twenty minutes of life.

Wait a minute ...I feel a little better now. Well, back to it.

Tony

The absolute worst part of this game (besides my measly score!!) is in college, my roomates and I used to play this same game with mini frisbees and a fan.  For hours and hours!!!!  Must have been all the "experimentation" that was going on!!

SteveR

13.

Sad thing is I just bookmarked the page so I can come back...

Stewart Manley

It's a sad state of affairs when getting a "5.9" into the centre of the basket is the best thing I've achieved all week...

Dead Trooper

11 so far.

This and  http://www.radicalplay.com/madness/]http://www.radicalplay.com/madness/  are absolutely killing any chance at studying I've got for a couple of weeks.

Danno

I got up to 32 just now. I probably could have gone further, but towards the end I was blinded by tears of guilt and self-loathing.

SteveR

33, baby!

Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed.  Probably the latter...

Mister Acrolite

Wow, I can't even match my old high score of 22. The closest I've come is 21.  Grrrrrrrr..........

Stewart Manley

Is this thing turning me paranoid, or does anyone else get the feeling it tests your weaknesses?

Todd Norris

I'm convinced it has A.I.  Once I get into a rhythm the angles I'm shooting at for certain speeds suddenly don't work...

Joe

Right, I think the fan is uncalibrated.

Works just right, as far as I can tell. I just got a 45.

Then I think you need a NEW kind of humiliation:

At least this one has the decency to insult you, and remind you that you are supposed to have a life!

24 so far....

Edit:  Make that 47! 8)

That one doesn't intrigue me like the wastebasket thing (thank you, God).

I discovered that you don't need to be online to play the wastebasket game, so I've just left it sitting in my taskbar for now. Now and forever, probably.

oh, crap. i had to stop at 1 because i started laughing too much. it's safely minimized on my screen for now, until lunch.

paper throwing and x-box. this is what my life has been reduced to.

Yes, I have definitely noticed this as well.

I got 13 by the way.  


Who keeps moving the fan around needs to find a comfortable temperature.

Only the British would define ones self worth based on their abililty to dribble a soccer ball...ahem, I mean football.    :-\

TheBeachBoy

On the fan I got 42, but it took awhile.  Only 15 on the soccer, but only tried a couple times.  Not a big fan of soccer.  I figure soccer was invented by those that couldn't throw a ball  ;D j/k--I would probably pass out from exhaustion if I were to actually play soccer :-X

Redcamaro

27.....very addictive.....very fun.  My kids loved it too.  I'll send this to my work buddies.  We have a big meeting next week....I'll play it on my laptop and everyone will think I'm busy working. ;D

smoggrocks

i just bought a new hi-speed fan for my studio. now i'll have something to do in between diddles!

good god, this stuff is addictive!


ddong

For me, 16 is my current high. MUST SINK MORE BASKETS!!!


albinoblacksheep.com  has a bunch of equally addictive time killers.

Okay, Keith - I am totally humidified.  I was awful....I guess soccer isn't my game.
