Okay. Just posted balls 12 & 13:

First #15 1500 - 6:36.3

breathed something dusty (must remember to vacuum erg) resulting in violent coughing fit followed by brief bowl-hugging session. :!:

Then onto #23 2300 - 10:52.0

Needless to say, #23 didn't work out quite like I'd planned.
Brings me to a whopping 5:25:02.1 for a total of 69900 meters.
Cheers,
Kris

What exactly do grapes *do* that could get someone to start posting up Bingo ball numbers? Are they poison-laden, so that he *has* to post numbers, or he doesn't get the antidote? :wink:

Good call with the chocolates. What if there happened to be a few sour ones in the bunch of grapes? Not a good start for the healing process, in my opinion. :roll: :lol:

Rowing. :shock:

I also enjoy anything mango-related, but not in favor of chocolate! I'd like to declare myself Willy Wonka's right hand man, or at least Augustas Gloop who gets to be sucked up through a refresh tube after nearly being drowned in a river of chocolate. Or maybe I'll just stick with the grapes. :roll: :?

I believe I'd rather be talking about fruits and chocolates than be rowing the actual Bingo challenge. 8) Yes, this is much much nicer...and easier. :D
