**I give erleichda my toothpick.** It was only for one weekend at Mt. Shasta when I was in college, though. ☹ Does that count as only half a toothpick? ---

\*\*No toothpicks for California \*\*- i’ve been to Florida but that’s it **And no toothpicks for skiiing.** I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t end well. ---

**I give erleichda a toothpick** Skiing is fun! It’s not fun to loose control and crash into a tree though ☹ But that’s never happened to me, no siree. ---

Gah, didn’t see this had started up so quickly! No Toothpicky for whoever did the Guitar Hero. I’m a guitar voyeur when it comes to that game. 😃 \*\* Toothpick for going to California though.\*\* And No toothpick for skiing. I’ll keep that 'un. ---

Skiing: **I keep my toothpick** – and my intact leg bones. Seriously, with my sense of grace, I should not be allowed within 100 yards of a ski slope. ---

It’s not fun to loose control and crash into a tree though ☹ But that’s never happened to me, no siree. This one almost seems like it was directed at us Nordic types, doesn’t it? On the other hand, the California one is the sort of thing I’d come up with if I wanted to mess with the Americans :). ---

Funny how you want to hold on to your toothpicks, isn’t it? The habits of acquisition war with the pleasure of having a well-rounded life! Anyhow, again, I grudgingly **give a toothpick to erleichda**. Seriously, I wasn’t expecting so many border line cases. One weekend, one bunny hill, one sprained knee, and it counts as “skiing”? I guess so. 😃 ---

By the way, **Hockey Monkey**? Do you have any plans for decreasing the number of toothpicks as the game goes on? Because this will never finish if there’s a constant 1050 toothpicks floating around. ---
