Yeah, that's how we did it too, 'cept this time of year, up here, it has to be snowballs only, because the bludgeons hurt when they're frozen, and the rubberbands break.

Now, several people from Maine to California seemed to think I pronounced "about" in a funny way (the opinion of the lady in Tennessee, however, doesn't matter, 'cuz the other Americans told me they all speak funny in that state). Anyway, we need to settle that one too.
