the whole point behind mill's mess is that the throw *and* catch are
done while the hands are crossed.  This seems to be the thing people
have the toughest time with.  If you don't catch with your arms
crossed, you are doing nothing more than constant under-arm throws.
This may look identical to mill's, but it isn't quite as fun to do!!!
