spread eagle

An outdoor game named for the position which the loser must assume. The construct of the game is as follows: Players: as many can confortably move around an area opposing the wall/target. A ball (tennis, basket, playground, bouncey, type insignificant) is thrown against a wall by the thrower (this may include an intermediate bounce on the ground. As it bounces back, and of the persons may choose to catch the ball and become the next thrower, but anyone touching the ball and not retaining (catching) it must immediately run to the wall and touch it before any of the other players recovers the ball and hits the wall with it. If the failed catcher reaches the wall before the ball, play continues. If not, he must assume a 'spread eagle' position against the wall and may then be pegged (hit with the ball) by the last thrower (i.e. the one that got him/her 'out'. Play resumes until everyone is too tired or bruised to continue.

Southern Drawl

Usage of the colloquialistic pronounciations of the English languages spoken by those from the Southern United States. Usually these are created by drawing out vowels (Georgia becomes jawja, stringing words together get on outta here}, and generally making it impossible for any furners (foreigners; anyone not from or a resident of the South) to understand.

The good movie parts always go to New England bruisers or the California pretty boys, while us Southern folk are sterotipically cast as Rednecks with shotguns and a bad Southern Drawl.
