I grew up in farm country, and never heard that one.

However I'm with Tuxchick on this: what an elegant and eloquent metaphor for describing Microsoft's actions when we have all probably used far more descriptive and highly censored words for the same concept. Tuxchick's phrase says it all with a perfect mental pictures, without ever being crude, rude and vulgar.....Love it.

***Dried ones of course.......discus throwing.
