TB: Some field armed refs for real? I remeber hearing something about that in the long long ago but don't remember anything other than refs having PGP's.

LOL...yep. It is where the prop-stealing ho term came from. It was a 'Grinch in the Hood' game and on one side was the Grinch and his gang and on the other was Santa and his elves. The third faction was the "Who's" but since this was in the hood, they were called the ho's. And there was a pimp and such, however the refs were armed because the currency of the land was tinsel and people like to steal it, especially the hoes. And since the props and such could be traded for tinsel, the term prop stealing hoe was coined and to prevent that from happening the refs were armed with pistols and could shoot people who were taking tinsel or other props without the proper clearance or intent.

It then was moved into other games to stop the same thing.
