  • @Estar, @Kelani's dog has an issue with a leg - and his cat is sick.
  • @AMSlimFordy and @HunnyBunny Happy BirdDay to both of you! Hope you have a very special day!
  • @AMSlimFordy, @HunnyBunny -- happy bird-day from a fellow Taurean!

    @E-Star, nice job on those banners you…you…another fellow Taurean :)
  • @bernersenn thanks for filling me on @kelani I really hope his cat feels better soon and the issue with the leg is temporarily... how old are they @kelani ?
  • @AMSlimFordy, @HunnyBunny:
    The perfect recipe for your year ahead should be 20 percent love mixed with 30 percent luck. Add on top 20 percent courage and garnish it with 30 percent health. Say cheers to life and have a Happy Birthday!
  • @E-Star, yes, a fellow Taurean born on May 10. Great time of the year, weather is perfect, everything is blooming, and us mighty Taurus's are born!
  • Morning @mvnla2 -- catching up on all comments as I usually do on Sunday morning…a quote from you: "I hope to live to more than 100, and still be playing AB."

    I love it! Made me think of two things (aside of wishing you it becomes true): First, you'd probably bury us all and second, wonder if AB will still be around in 30-40 years? Things that make you go -- hm.
  • Aww now why didn't you slip a hint to OB?? I am sure he would have baked you a cake @fenikus !! Well HappY BelaTed BIRThDay my friend!!
  • Thank you @E-Star :)
  • Good morning/afternoon/evening @all
    Happy Birthday to @amslimfordy & @hunnybunny! Hope you both have a wonderful day!
    @estar great banners as usual hon!
    @fenikus Happy belated birthday to you!
    @kelani Sorry to hear of your pets woes :( Youre in the right place for advice,help or just a shoulder. Heck I think 90% of the pubs patrons have been through the wringer with our 4 legged buddies recently. Hope all is well and that it's not too serious.
  • @bernersenn Thanks man. That was an awful day. Swipe's not been sick a single day in 14 years, but he scared the hell out of me yesterday. He perked up last night and was back in his routine this morning. Patty (dog) is the same. Hard to tell if she doesn't feel good or is just being lazy. She is so lazy and has so many little yappy dog problems my nicknames for her are Doorstop and Money Pit.

    @estar I thought I'd give your inbox a day off. Had to take care of the little fuzzies. How many messages do you normally see in the morning? I'd kinda like to know how effective my troublemaking has been :) Why am I not surprised you're a TBBT fan? I know it's supposed to be on 3 more seasons, but Chuck Lorre always seems to find a way to kill his shows prematurely. :( I still can't believe Jim Parsons is 43.

    @Kathy @fenikus *ahem* I admitted *two* DCB events that week, tyvm. :) #2 was B. Volley 5 daily challenge.

    @burpie I've begun a strict physical and dietetic regimen in preparation for June 5. When it comes, I'll be ready.
  • @jlz thank you. Today, they're better and I'm sick, but I'll take that anyday. :)
  • Happy Birthday @Amslimfordy and @Hunnybunny hope you have an AWESOME Flinging Day! !
  • Great job @e-star as always:)
  • @Kelani happy to hear Swipe and Patty feeling better. I can tell you while I'm at work I swipe my messages periodically or I'd probably have over 100 definitely over 100 new messages in the inbox
  • Hi JLZ!! nice to see you pop in today, you are so right, the BP is filled with four legged friends lovers that truly understand the worries one can go thru. @kelani I am so happy to hear things are much better today! As for the "normal" amount of notifications during my sleepy time... lately it has been 100-150 and last night only 20. Of course that doesn't mean you are the cause of the 130 comments difference, but it I do think Mister @rat missed his little princess ;)

    Ow and @fenikus do you want to be added to the list? If so can you leave a comment there so I know I have the "go" on adding you there. Maybe you can drag @kelani with you ;)

    @kathy Thanks! Had to look twice and thought I saw a tutu... but I remembered you spending some time with the marvelous rabbit hunter and saw your name. So a bit confusing, but he looks mighty smashing!
  • @estar thank you, thank you again, for the wonderful happy birhday banner. Much appreciated. And all those who wished me a happy Birdday
    A little tipsy, now, after a wonderful lunch with friends. No flinging for me, I expect, just some lurking.
    Lots of Taureans here!
    And if it helps @kelani I'm a wee bit shorter than you. Hope Swipe and Patty get well soon. And you too!
    About time to change my gravatar back to the much loved, much missed, and never forgotten, Max the German Shepherd. In honor of all pets that somehow take over our lives......
  • Happy Birthday to @AMslimfordy and @Hunnybunny.

    It's great to see Max again Mrs. Bunny. The Monty Python rabbit was too scary. Glad he's back guarding the cave.

    I have the perfect gift for you, Slim. You can help @Kelani compute the odds of success on level 19 in Blossom River. Our math skills were insufficient and we know how much you love a math problem.
  • @estar Sure, I like lists, unless the first word is 'Watch' . Kelbirdday is July 14, which just made any French lurkers giggle and clap their hands. btw, Patty/dog No idea how old she is. Maybe 5-8. Two days ago she slipped and fell down the outside stairs (the one part of the deck I didn't fix!). Swipe kitty just turned 14

    @hunnybunny happy bunnyday to you, and thanks for your get-well wishes and 'short report'. :) It's nice to know I'm taller than a few BP ladies. Find a 5'6" guy who'll come in here and admit it, and I'll be truly joyful.
  • @Kelani, @Rat, I realized the other day Kelani was serious about wanting that probability so I was going to post the answer there. But I will let Slim do it since it's his birthday. I'll wait a couple of days and if he doesn't, you will have a short statistics course in the walkthrough. My hopes are this would make Kelani's head explode and then I will only have @bernersenn to fight with :)
  • @Rat, I saw your synopsis of the glorious battle that is ensuing on the River. This will only make sense to folks who have seen the movie "300": THIS…IS…SPARTAAAAAA!!!!
  • @fenikus Once my cap feel constrictive, I stop and do something mindless until the swelling goes down. You may be in luck, though. Level #12 is starting to smell a lot like #19. If I can't improve my score by nightfall, it'll be cleanup on aisle Kel.

    Even my probability-impaired brain can calculate a 0% chance Slim is gonna waste his time on any of my pointless questions :P
  • @rat caerbanog is definitely a Welsh killer. Caer translates as fort, banog doesn't really translate at all, it's just a place name, in a few Welsh towns.
    So killer bunny is back guarding his Welsh cave, just hoping no Holy Hand Grenades get flung in his direction.
    As for Slim's computing, if you take away second place, definitely a double double count, with only the one double removed (are you with me here?) and the slightly suspicious, but ultimately possibly top score, that leaves me in third place. It's just ******** luck. No skill whatsoever. No computing. No algorithms. AB Gods are all that matter on #19
  • I'm starting to feel the same way about BR-14. You get best scores when the rightmost part of the structure starts falling to the left, which naturally leaves the rightmost monkey alive. I think the only way for it to perish is for the small wooden crate to fall on it while the rest of the structure falls to the left. It almost just happened to me, which would have given me 135K and 3K short of the 2.6 mil.
  • @fenikus oh, nice.

    Rat = Xerxes (sits and lets everyone else do his dirty work. Uses less eyeliner)
    Kathy = Queen Gorgo (but secretly on Xerxes' side)
    Any of us = Theron, Dilios, Astinos, Daxos.

    First person who compares me to the grotesque, sniveling traitor troll gets kicked in the Κώλος

    I think barring the miracle shot where rightmost marmo dies, #14's best score comes from a 2 birder. That's what all my top 100 scores were.
  • But who will be King Leonidas? Remains to be seen. He dies in the end but he is the greatest hero of all.
  • Everybody dies, so I guess it doesn't matter. Leonidas could some non-BP denizen who sneaks to the top while we're all in Space. or, whoever among us has incredibly big teeth. btw, I didn't forget to cast the Oracle girl. Just saw no way to do that without getting in trouble.
  • King @Ratxes with multi-piercings and makeup. Now that would be a fun photoshop project.
  • I wish that level 3 score would go away. It's so obvious it's not real.

    Wow, I just got 2-bird complete clearance on #16 except the cardboard box at top right and the buoys under the boat. Only 166k tho.
  • I think we need Rovio to fix the DCB glitch before we pursue taking down of that score.
  • @kelani "You will go you will return never in war will you perish"
    As you know, put the comma where you wish!
  • Btw, @Kelani, did you see the 300 sequel? I haven't as I'm always leery of sequels being an abomination of the original and thus spoiling the memory of it.
  • Happy Birdday @Hunnybunny :)
  • I though @kelani was a Greek scholar, @fenikus obviously thinks he's a film critic
  • Nah, Mrs. Bunny, I don't think 300 belongs in any top 100 lists of best movies of all time, but it is a cult movie to some.
  • Our top three awful, but can't ever be missed movies:
    Razorback
    Tremors
    Sharknado
    I can't believe I just admitted this ;-)
  • And @fenikus have you ever checked out the avatar contest? I'll get a link shortly. I nominated your avatar months ago, before I ever met you, and what do show up with in here? A darned grey clown! Get a gravatar, look like that cunning black bird, who can kill a smirking marmoset with just a glance,not some nondescript grey nonentity
  • @kelani, #12, #6 and #14 are the same as #19 - just takes a while before they fall. That, in my case doesn't happen - yet
  • Bumped back down to eighth by one of those pesky van Emdens, again!
    As I'm talking to myself, I might just heretically go and crush a few candies, easier than precise bird aiming
  • Sharknado, lol…haven't seen it, now I'll have to! Have a group of friends with which we occasionally arrange for "movie night". We pick very very bad older movies that are so bad that they are hilarious. The clear winner so far is "Soilent Green".
  • @fenikus 300 airs on TNT every few weekends. I wouldn't have paid to see it. Didn't even know there's a sequel. lol.

    I don't think the #3 score is a DCB. He used 2 birds on a 1-bird=102k level, and didn't do the secret technique. I think it's a power-up. mvnla2 and I did a few tests w/ TNT drops and it comes pretty close. The open powerup window w/missing powerups may be prejudicing me. :)

    @hunnybunny It doesn't take a Greek scholar to google how to say "Butt" :) btw, where'd I drop a comma? :( I hope I didn't pull a "Let's eat grandma" Don't feel bad for liking awful movies. Every time you watch one, you help keep failed actors out of rehab.
  • Thanks for the link, Mrs. Bunny, but it says winners should have been decided by now but I don't see that they have? Okay, okay, the pressure is getting to me, I will sign up for that gravatar thing. I just don't like signing up for things.
  • Hunnybunny I already barked up the avatar tree w/@fenikus He said something like avatar schmavatar. Glad I'm not the only one annoyed by that. :)

    Fen: Soylent Green is hilarious.
  • My favorite movie is 1984's Top Secret! Seen it 67 times.

    @fenikus Using an obscure latin phrase to denote confusing ambiguity? I love it.

    @bernersenn did you do anything special on #12 ? I think the strategy I posted is wrong. Coming down over the marmoset and through his tail seems to score much better.
  • @Kelani, I do think BR-3 is DCB. Danno fellow seemed very nice in his comments and clearly stated he didn't use PUs. I've no reason to distrust him plus he did mention something about switching to ABN to enter the score and then coming back.
