Enlightenment is found within, MaxQ, look within yourself sorry, I couldn't resist ... And no, I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you about huckery. Other than people's names, the only reference I've found for huckery is Swedish weaving on monk's cloth: http://www.crafts-america.com/profile/rocky_mountain_huckery.html Good luck with your search, MaxQ!

Or perhaps the word huckleberry was formerly used for that, and this is a corruption?

As proof of Max's position, please note that when Aussies and Kiwis participate in Olympic events, their final standings are routinely among the high numbers, such as place #45 or #53 -- none of those low numbers like 1, 2 or 3 for them!

But Max, I just couldn't resist the opportunity to join in the "upside down" wordplay.

Australia's performance at the last Summer Games was truly outstanding, their gold medal haul was far and away the best of any of the major competitors on a per capita basis. Why, MaxQ I do believe y'are defending the honour of your fellow Antipodeans (thanks for resurrecting the word, Russ yet another K1W1 made good, ie known the world over as an Aussie). I know ya don't wanna be lumped with us I'm sure the feeling is mutual, but ya sure are kind!
