They're also convieniently placed in the middle of a stand-off in the old western times to blow straight between the two opposing sides to tense up the situation. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]

Dakmor answered Thursday September 15 2005, 5:10 pm: Haha, I really can't imagine why you need to know, but for what it's worth, they're called tumbleweeds. Very appropriate name, eh? XD And it's not dust. It's weeds. And they're not rolling. They're tumbling. Go figure. [ Dakmor's advice column | Ask Dakmor A Question ]
K2204 answered Thursday September 15 2005, 4:51 pm: I think I know what your talking about. They like roll around or like across the street when no one is around. I think that they are called tunble-weeds. If we are both thinking of the same thing!!
FunnyCide answered Thursday September 15 2005, 4:38 pm: I do believe what you're talking about is a tumbleweed. It tumbles around you know, and it's a weed... Yeah, they're sand colored and roll in the wind. I'm almost 100% positive what you're talking about is tumbleweed. Because sand doesn't really makes big huge balls of dust.. but tumbleweeds are "big huge balls" - just not of dust.
