Obviously, I've Suffered No Permanent Hand-Eye Coordination Damage From My Holiday Revels

1445 feet on the ol' Hamsterpault, a new personal best. Here's the breakdown:

-135 ft
-189 ft
- 445 ft
- 54 ft
- 622 ft

The other day, the Llama-ettes came across me hamsterpaulting at home. It turns out that they knew all about it and, in fact, play it themselves. The best combined score among them is about 90 feet. So when ol' Dad sat down and started tearing off individual flights of 200 feet or so, the response from the gels was not far short of hero-worship.

I'll savor it while it lasts.

UPDATE: Somebody came over on a Google search of the highest score on flight of the hamsters. Glad to see I'm not the only seek, seeek, seeek one out there.....

Only 111 feet on my first try. Must keep practicing. Damn you!

I finally found out how the skateboard works. If you hit the ground at a small enough angle (like a skipping stone), you ride the skateboard for a little while. Lame.

Dorka - don't underestimate the skateboard. Sometimes it'll give you just enough roll to get you to a springboard and then you're back in business.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened the only time I used it. Once. Out of the many, many times I've played it.
