"The sports that have stayed with me more are the imaginary ones; the ones you see your favorite characters from various films and TV playing. The games that some hardworking screenwriter invented in a fit of creative pique, and that some actors and directors had to actually play on a set somewhere. These games, for their novelty, for their creativity, and for their magic, are just itching to be played. How many of us, for instance, have wished we could play mid-air rugby on flying broomsticks? A certain brand of geek may sit to play a role-playing board game versions of these sports, be we all know what’s really involved: we wish would could play along for real".
43-Man Squamish from MAD Magazine (the June 1965 issue)
"Letsee if I can sum it up in a cogent fashion: 43-Man Squamish was played on a five-sided field (called the Flutney). The teams consisted of one right inside Grouch, one right outside Grouch, four Deep Brooders, four Shallow Brooders, five Wicket Men, three Offensive Niblings, four Quarter-Frummets, one Full-Frummet, two Overblats, two Underblats, nine back-up Finks, two Leapers and a Dummy. Players are issued gigantic hooked sticks (Frullips), which they use to prevent opponents from carrying the ball (a small, soft, spongy Pritz stuffed with bluejay feathers, carried in the mouth) into their endzone".
