Good metaphor. Here in my little corner of Connecticut, we refer to such plays as ants, and elephants, same as in JRutledge's Chicagoland (his little northeast corner if Illinois).

Billy, my comment or reference did not just come directly from where I live. I have been to camps in other states and heard the same language or reference. BTW, Chicago and the suburbs, the population is larger then your entire state. We do not have one voice or standard as you would like to suggest. We have people with all kinds of experiences and work all kinds of levels. Things are a lot broader then a little corner.

Peace

Yeah, go ahead just keep rubbing it in. And I bet that you guys don't use button hooks anymore to tie your shoes before a game.
