Duck Duck Amuck

News Item: "It's Duck-Duck Grayduck!" Group Established on Facebook.

You know the kids' game Duck Duck Goose? For some reason in Minnesota, and only in Minnesota, the game is instead called Duck Duck Grayduck. I have no idea why, but I can't wait for The Hold Steady to write a song about it.

Also, as we learn from Wikipedia, there is something called "Extreme" Duck Duck Goose. It involves running counter-clockwise, directly into the person chasing you.

YES! So Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Eastern Canada don't call it Grayduck, like they do with pop?

is that like candlepin/duckpin bowling, which is unique to New England?
