Damn, ND and KristenT. I'm voteing for the "make the bastards walk the plank" plan.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

GF grew up in MN and says hog pile and duck, duck, grey duck. Interesting. Also, anyone know when duck, duck, goose/grey duck came into being? At a meeting I was just in, those born pre-60 (with no children) had never heard of it!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
In Southeastern Michigan it was "duck, duck, goose."
In Northern Michigan, where hunting is more prevalent, I am given to understand it is "duck, duck, dinner."
And then they pluck and eat some poor kid who can't run fast.

My fave new version (thanks, wikipedia!) is Duck, Duck, Splash - in which the "goose" gets a bucket of water dumped on him/her. Awesome!

Fortunately, the loonacy stops at the Minnesota-Wisconsin state border.
For those not accustomed to Minnesota-Wisconsin feuding, Sail's comment will make more sense if you remember that the Minnesota state bird is the Loon.

Our wings are not tired.
We had no duck, duck, goose, or dog/hog piles in my youth (long, long ago) in upstate New York.

All of this pales in the face of the great question:
Is it kitty-corner or katty-corner?

duck, duck, goose
(Kindergarten in south Jersey - most of elementary school in Balt.)
I can't recall the use of either dogpile or hogpile when I was a child.
