Aktungbby clobbers the competition with a right royal whacking and 7840 points!

Sharing the limelight though is Buddababy, who succeeded in achieving his goal of the lowest score ever on WAS. We'll just hope there's another virulent disease ravaging and weakening the population next time - so you can do even better (you should keep that Squirrel Champion badge, mate)

@ Aktung

Special thanks for those great pictures - they really made this a colourful and memorable Whac-a-Squirrel, short as it was. You are a true Anglophile and they still can't touch you for that

I would stare for an hour and nothing happens, then suddenly.. like in a uboat – weeks of boredom interrupted by seconds of sheer terror.
At one point i saw Aktung's whack post before the post containig the squirrel appeared before it, this was really strange.
Another time Eichhörnchen had set a post with some egghead which suddenly vanished again.
I really should switch to other mushrooms..

Related Photos were a nice icing. But I swear to post a german Kaiser photo after each and every whack next time to over(wil)helm the anglophiles' numbers :O:

And I wholeheartedly agree regarding Aktung's amazing photographs; I posted my ceremonial uniform pics in an attempt to instil some flavour of the day but his pictures really nailed it

The festivities continue in the UK over the weekend - here's a photo of our next door neighbour's flag - and we just got home from an afternoon at the local jubilee fair where I nailed a coconut on the coconut shy.

[Aktungbby]

Having won twice previously, the second being a tie with Catfish, and knowing I'm slower on the mouse than Rockfish and El Whacko, I determined to lead from the outset and was on GMT time this time with no confusion!:o Moreover, having failed twice at "catchup" whack-a-squirrel, leading from the front is the only way for a septuagenarian dolt. Keeping meticulous ongoing track of scoring is useful as well. All credit goes to my bride of 42 years who forgave me my gardening chores to remain in the mancave, at the ready!: This being a naval forum, I have dubbed it: The "Glorious 2nd of June"...you can't get more anglophile than that!!:arrgh!: :Kaleun_Salute:

Quote:

The Book of St. Squirrel-Chapter 5, Verse 4

“The Lord has revealed unto me a vision unlike that of any others I have seen. Dressed in clothing like that of a divine being, a man with a head of snow hair whacked squirrels day and night. It didn’t matter whether or not the squirrels were tired and had been whacked enough, the man whacked them even more on days nobody thought he would. The squirrels appealed to angels, asking for mercy. The fact that the squirrels even asked for mercy when it was beyond their authority to do so shocked our God the Lord.
He declared: ‘Bound those subservient and devious hairy devils fast in Dudael. May their trees no longer produce acorns. They have gone against my holy plan for the world and have rejected my love. Banish them, Michael, to the likes of where Moloch, Azazel, and Beelzebub are imprisoned!’
And so it was. The squirrels were imprisoned for going against Eichoren, the heavenly whacking deity, who was ordained by God to make it his life’s passion of delivering fun to His creation by whacking squirrels on an online forum’”

[Reece]

Whack!! :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

^ You lose 100 points - honest - I'm going to write that down for next time

[Reece]

Thanks mate! at least it was only 100 points!! :wah:

[Texas Red]

The Book of St. Squirrel: Chapter 5, Verse 5-10

A second vision appeared unto me, this time the man with snow-white hair continued whacking squirrels day and night. However, in the darkest depths of Dudael, the ring leader of the Squirrels planned vengeance against the heavenly whacking deity for their banishment. The leader's name was Squcifer. Squcifer had brought his rebellious complaint to the angels of the Lord, which is why he and the other sixty-six squirrels were in Dudael.
Squicfer said to the other squirrels "Go on in my name and flood the Earth with pestilence and excessive extermination bills. Make the humans suffer like I am. For I am angry and I must take revenge."
And so it was. The sixty-six squirrels flooded the Earth with their pestilence and existence and brought great annoyance to the humans. The humans cried to God, "Lord of the Heavens, the squirrels keep eating my donuts and chewing up my paper! They leave droppings in my home and force me to pay overpriced extermination fees to get rid of them! I cannot pay for gas and extermination fees!"

The Lord, the King of the Heavens, was outraged. He turned to Eichhorren and said, "Banish those honorless and disobedient filthy animals to the Cage! May your whacker find every small head. Bring along Aktungabbon, the Destroyer of Squirrels, to be your right-hand man."

Eichhorren found the ring-leader of the squirrels on Earth, Alviel, and said to him:
"You! You lose 100 points, I'll write that down for next time!" and proceeded to bring his holy whacker on top of Alviel, who was smashed back down into Dudael.

After the Heavenly extermination was done, Eichhorren returned with Aktungabbon to Heaven, where they both dominated in crushing squirrels from the safety of online forums.

[Reece]

Yes Catfish, it's Ivor Novello, died back in 1951. - Welsh! :yep:
Wife done some research here, some interesting info, Coldplay as you say got one of his awards as did Paul McCartney!! :yep:

In the film "Zulu" he's with the 24th Foot...a Welsh regiment.

But I don't think he's Welsh. Great actor Nigel Green. Iconic roles. Loved him in "Fraulein Doktor" as the Head of the Kaisers Intelligence Service.

But I don't think he's Welsh. Great actor Nigel Green. Iconic roles. Loved him in "Fraulein Doktor" as the Head of the Kaisers Intelligence Service.

He was born in Pretoria, South Africa and the picture is him as Colour Sergeant Bourne in Zulu, arguably his finest role.

[Eichhörnchen]

^ 'sright - Wiki describes him as English, born in Pretoria - the Welsh connection was a trap

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Yes indeed: Sir Gareth Edwards. Just one more go, mate :yep:

https://i.imgur.com/IHBJ8BM.jpg Who's next?

[Jimbuna]

He became a fighter pilot and, subsequently, an intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander.

[Catfish]

And an excellent author, also with short stories of the war. I have the book, and i like chocolate .. whack :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes, Roald Dahl - what a top man

https://i.imgur.com/sMGPMXi.jpg Almost the last now
