Oh...

Maybe instead of flipping the coins, you're intentionally spinning them?

One would be tossing the coins into the air, and yes, they must be seen to be spinning. But the call of "come in spinner" is about inviting the person who will be doing the tossing to enter the arena of play and toss the coins. To encourage the coins to both come down with heads facing up, you would use a call similar to "head 'em up".

I'm surprised that no-one entered the phrase "come in spinner" into google or some such search engine and deduced that we are, in fact, talking about the Australian National Pastime of Two-up. Though, having not done that myself, for all I know all you would find out is that it is also the title of Shane Warnes book.

ER! That's not very evil!

Oh, and the first page brings up references to books and films

What can I say? I typed those things late at night, and you expect me to think of something logical like a google search to find out what it's all about??!?


No matter what Kingy says, thou art still evil.

But now they're probably wondering who the Shane Warne is, Your Maj.

Well, I wasn't until you said *that*...



~trudges off to do a google search~

Oh... according to my google search, apparently he's a cricket player? Or perhaps used to be, before he became "no drug cheat"?

Cricket?

erm...
