2K?
'Twok' is more like the sound of two curling stones smacking together.
Speaking of curling, it always amuses me, for some reason,  to hear the
women going 'Haaarrrrd, haaarrrd girls, harder!'- but that's just me.
My wife, who is Canadian, was reading the previous email over my shoulder
and automatically and predictably began singing Bob and Doug's version of
Twelve Days of Christmas... (fiiiiiiive golden toques...)
I call 'em watch caps. The kids that I grew up with in East Tennessee called
'em toboggans. The other things were just sleds. Never figgered that one
out.

Cya,
Robert

p.s.: I think he meant took as in rhymes with kook, as opposed to book.
