Oddly, I have been to Squamish. Cheakamus, not that far away, would have been a great name too.

Mad magazine’s highly-dubious sports creation, 43-Man Squamish, opens with the recital of a Chilean proverb by the defending right Outside Grouch: “Mi tio es enfermo, pero la carreterra es verde” (My uncle is sick, but the highway is green”).

Whereupon the Pritz (the game ball, 3¾ inches in diameter, made of untreated ibex hide stuffed with blue-jay feathers) is hurled, and the game begins.

“muy caliente el diablo”

heh. I don’t speak Spanish but that is making me laugh in the same way as one of the songs one of my old officemates used to play while she was working; it had the line, “Donde, donde el bano, donde el bano en su casa?” (sic).

I will admit sometimes in the late evening if we were all working in the lab we’d get up and dance to the “donde el bano” line.
