Marbles is good but maybe also some type of cards.

Mitch, Could it be so obvious as to be word games or riddles?

-- Joanie (ber-gust@prodigy.net), May 29, 2002.

Some sort of ball game, like soccer.

Then again, maybe some type of skills contest, like target shooting or racing?

New question: What does callipygian describe? Without looking in a search engine for an unfair answer.

-- mitch hearn (moopups@citlink.net), May 29, 2002.


Ummm I have no idea..... is a callipy one of those steam powered organs??? I'm thinking not; but if so then a callipygian might be a person who plays it or tunes it................ Makes me think of a surveying term/tool too if that helps anyone else.

-- Ross (amulet@istar.ca), May 29, 2002.

Callipygian is not a person in general, but there must be a lifeform present for it to apply, and some people are blessed with it.~~
