Randall Nathan's friend, former basketball star, Latin scholar, and current Great Black Hunter, Moses "Moose" Jackson, lives in Iron Mountain, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, just across the Menominee River from WI, 100 miles north of Green Bay. They talk basketball on the phone from time to time. Moose calls the Iron Mountain metropolitan area "The Sex Cities," since Iron Mountain, Kingsford, and Quinnisec on the MI side, and Spread Eagle, Aurora, and Niagara on the WI side, are contiguous, and possibly contagious. Of course, that is because "sex" in Latin is "six" in English.
"Say, Moose, did you see in the current SI about those 20,562 people at the basketball stadium in Cleveland all wearing Snuggles? The Guinness book says it was a record for 'largest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets.'"
"Hell, that's nothing," said Moose. "We've got more people than that in The Sex Cities, and we wear fleece blankets EVERY night."
