G’day! Byron the Quokka here–and as you can see in the picture, we’re all working like galley slaves to try to fix this blog. July really clobbered it, what with all those internet outages and such.
Here at Quokka U., we’re toiling behind the scenes to try to breathe life back into this blog. I could tell you about some poor blighter whose blood pressure monitor gave up the ghost this morning, but he told me not to mention it, so I won’t.
At the highest level, the thinking is that if there were more on this blog about pick-up sticks, it’d keep viewers coming back for more.
It’s hard, though, to get proper pick-up sticks video. This one comes with a clumsy human who wouldn’t last five minutes in a game against a quokka.
There’s also some support for upping the stakes in the comment contests–like that time we gave away the Mona Lisa as a prize. It wasn’t my fault we had to give it back.
Well, we’ll just have to come up with something!
I don’t remember the different colors being worth different points. But what did I know? I was just a kid. 🙂
Me neither. I think that guy is just showing off.
Loved that game, and jacks. Did you know jacks goes back to the caveman days? The name comes from “chackstones” that were used.
