Just launched a double attack. Let's see if both hit.
One yesterday and two more today. fingers crossed!
Mod
Cottonheaded Ninnymuggins: 360
Ball-R-Us: 430
Lots of time left in the challenge so it's anyone's game!
I would like to know what a ninnymuggin is . Other than awesome, of course.
Mod
It's from the movie Elf.
Ninny is a word for a fool or simpleton. Muggins is British slang for a foolish or gullible person. Taken together, when poor Buddy calls himself a cotton-headed ninny-muggins, he's saying he thinks he's a simple fool.
Ah! Thank you. I am actually going to see Elf for the first time when my friend visits next week. If only I had been a bit patient. Oh, right. I do not have patience.

Patience is overrated... ;)
I got one more hit & 3 more misses. My aim really is terrible :D
Mod
Me too!! I had a miss than a hit. I was like, I'm just going to keep firing. I want to look up at the end and see the destruction....LOL
Just got home from an overnight trip and launched four quick-fire snowballs. Let's hope a couple of those were hits. They were on the smaller side so maybe they will fly faster and strike harder. :)

Strictly speaking most of mine shouldn't be able to miss, they're probably the size of a double-decker bus, lol.
A double decker bus that is packed meticulously into a sphere.Perfect!
Whoooooooshhh... goes another snowball. :)
What do you think? Legal to add food coloring to the snow balls or no? A little devil sitting on my shoulder wants to know.
Mod
Gives a new definition to Jello shots!
I saw these and now want to move to a place where there is snow just so I can get them. 😆
Just threw another one, hopefully it's a hit!
Are those snowball makers for those who are wearing the wrong mittens? Now I want to throw a duck-shaped snow thingy at someone. Saying I want to throw a duck-ball just sounds a little rude.
I love the fact they have some many hearts! Nothing says "I love you" like a cold ball of snow in the face, amirite?!

Those look like fun toys to play with! Work has been crazy and I've been stacking a nice little stack of snowballs in the corner that I plan to launch tonight or tomorrow. I decided to borrow some of the sugar free syrup we use for slushies at work to turn them some fun colors. Hopefully, that will help.
Just tossed four colorful snowballs super fast so maybe those will hit. My books suddenly became much shorter and lighter but we are also traveling at the end of this week so we will see how these snowballs work.
Hi. We seem to have run out of lines... do I continue after the blue lines?

Mod
I added more lines and fixed the formula for you guys. Carry on with the snowball fight!
Mod
The Cottonheaded Ninnymuggins: 610
Balls-R-Us: 690
It's anyone's game! Keep throwing those snowballs!
looks like Melinda and I built up a nice stock pile to throw in a blitzkrieg manoeuvre!
Let's hope they'll hit their target. ;)
