My wife
who is Oregonian and wearing a flannel shirt (ain't clichés great) says the game is called "Keep Away" in her old neck of the woods. That probably brings us back to movies starring John Leslie.

played it that way too
thats not a big stereotype i've heard. Oregon has a lot of hippies though.

im a washingtonian

Hippies? Tell me about it!
I used to live in Eugene.

of course that could be hipocritical
seeing as though im listening to the dead right now.

The dead?
What are they saying? Anything about me?
I didn't kill him I swear!

Ssh!
He hears Dead, people.

I always thought of keep away
as a nastier game involving more people. Say, five or six against one.

/edit: I'm from Maine
(norumbegan, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 22:00, archived)

Well, my wife is the youngest of 7 kids.
Given that context, she probably saw "Keep Away" as normal, non-abusive behaviour.

yeah
but this one is very good, anim too

100% fact about entertainment: everything has been done
it hasn't always been done that nicely, though

yay!
though I think they're bullying the pig, which troubles me
( Down on the farm - SHUT UP, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 21:50, archived)

But he seems
quite happy about it.

Woo for the pic by the way :D
(Marwood, Sat 13 Mar 2004, 21:50, archived)

don't worry...
he gets his revenge by vomiting over them at the end of the film then elopes with miss piggy :)

I hope he doesn't get hurt
