Thursday mornings are busy. 8:30 is “book discussion” on Zoom (many times just chat) with one or more friends from SweetWood. This is followed closely by the weekly Pig Rolling with @grammyn@randystreat and @30pics4jackiesdiamond
So so busy, we didn’t have time to get out the DSLR. (Yeah, I know...) But—in the middle of the Pigmania game, Jackie asked if the Fork was watching. I had to admit he was just hanging around in the drawer, but it was a great idea to let him observe the game and meet some other 365ers. He, after all, was participating in the get pushed challenge this week.
Then someone suggested we have an international Fork Meetup (thanks to Jackie joining our Pigmania group, anything we do is an “International [insert name of event]” — sounds so much more impressive that way!) So we all repaired to our kitchens to fetch our forks. I think they enjoyed meeting one another. We all were amazed and impressed with the daring circus act Katy and her fork have been working on.
The screenshot you see displayed on the iPad was taken during that meetup. The picture I took directly after the game shows the Fork gazing at that screenshot — already recalling the experience nostalgically and asking for another meeting. I can guarantee it’s not going to happen every week! My pigs were rather resentful of the attention diverted to the forks.
P.S.
Katy’s pigs won for the second week in a row. She is no longer permitted to claim underdog status!
P.P.S.
I promise the camera will come out before the end of the week!
@summerfield Well, maybe we just discussed the possibility of your joining us. Consider THIS a formal invitation. 😃 Pigs not required to sit in for chat and good fun.
BEWARE!!! Anyone joining this international group may be banned, excluded, banished, branded. This was a solitary lesson for me. My pigs were on fine form and had a stellar performance. I was flying the flag for the UK and won with a spectacular performance. My lesson was that no one likes a smart arse!!
You ladies are such great fun and I look forward to joining you again one day soon. 😉🐖
@wakelys 🤣😂🤣 Loved having you! Your PIGS, however, I highly suspect of illegal steroid use or weighted snout implants. You should keep a careful eye on them. You can bet I will, come December when the 12 pigs meet again for the second US/UK tournament. A WARNING should be issued to any who are thinking of playing against Sue’s little porkers. You may not get even one turn! Seriously folks, they won before we had even gone around the (virtual) table once. Still, good fun!
@summerfield not my fault you can’t remember being invited! @wakelys awww! You have given us something to talk about each week but also something to aspire to! I do feel I would not have won these last two weeks had you been present so thank you for your sacrifice❣️
Mary what a fabulous photo and spectacular commentary as always! Your creativity always helps to make the game more fun!
