I feel kinda stupid. I've been trying to figure out what a non-lazy tongue would be saying with this one but can't figure it out. My first thought had also been X marks the spot, but what is the regular phrase for this one?

It should be toe the mark which goes back a ways to alert runners to be prepared to run. To put their toes on the mark until the starting gun goes off. I have occaisionally seen tow the mark in stories and it would make me smile and think of someone towing a mark.

Ahh. Thanks for the explanation. As you can tell, I've had zero exposure to that. lol

Now "Draggin' the Line" by Tommy James & The Shondells is stuck in my head :P
