Okay I profess my ignorance. I didn't know that the Snipe is a real bird.
I know now, of course. I just sent that e-mail where I thought it was
something not real. In the Scouts the older kids took us younger kids out
into a field late one night while we were camping. We were each issued a
burlap bag and told to stand still holding the bag open so that we may catch
some Snipes. There we stood silently for about an hour and a half freezing
our... boots off while the older kids got a good laugh. Damn I'll never
forget that. Anyway that's what I meant in my e-mail for those of you who
knew about the real bird and weren't on my little camping expedition. Okay
that's enough from me for awhile. Time to go practice.
