# 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.

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