Many people take their vacations to coincide with softball state tournaments. I played for 10 years and umped for 6 years there and it was great.

I think Glen was referring to the usual friendly neighboring state border jokes. You know, the jokes you tell in ND about SD, MN, MT, and Canada; the jokes we tell about ND, SD, IA, WI, and Canada. Dakota County is in MN.
Also, as said, a "third world play" simply means a highly unlikely made-up play designed to illustrate a rule issue. Some people just have as their primary agenda trying to provoke an argument.
