On 8/16/96, "Keith A. McGavern" <kam544@ionet.net> rote: <<Had this spoofy (is that a real word?) analogy come to me today. Doing two pass tunings would be like throwing a horseshoe close to the stake, then walking up, picking the horseshoe up again, and easily pitching it on the stake for a ringer. Voila!>> Well, actually Keith, the game is a little different. The horseshoe is made out of modeling clay, soft enough to change shape with the original centrifugal fling, the prevailing winds during the flight, not to mention the impact. The other change is that not only are you judged on whether the pin is surrounded by the horseshoe but also by whether the shape of that horseshoe is perfectly undistorted from its original. With these rules, I'd want to land the horseshoe within an inch of the pin, pick the shoe up and reshape it perfectly. Then ever so gently, for the second toss, I'd drop it at ground zero from about the height of 5 mm. <G> Bill Ballard RPT NH Chapter ".......true more in general than specifically" Lenny Bruce, spoofing a radio discussion of the Hebrew roots of Calypso music
