Damn, you beat me to it, I was just getting ready to post it.

Best score so far is 13. :mrgreen:

I waited a day because I was sure someone would. It has been all over Yahoo news since yesterday (or Tuesday).

I just found it an hour or so ago when a friend of mine on Facebook made reference to it.

I still have it open in another tab in Firefox, lol.

Just played it again, got a 14, which I think is a perfect score. :mrgreen:

I realized right after posting that last message that it's a timed game.

Managed to get 15 a moment ago. Certainly better than the real shoe tosser, who was 0 fer 2. :mrgreen:

0 for 2 and he gets offered an Egyptian bride.

Father offers daughter to shoe-thrower

I wonder what he would have "won" had he been competent.

I am saddened, annoyed, perplexed and a whole bunch of other things that very little conversation has been had about what they shoe thrower actually said and what prompted his shoe throwing.

"This is a gift from the Iraqis, this is the farewell kiss, you dog.
This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."

Should he have thrown a shoe at the president, no. Did he have something to say? for sure.
