Quote from Rose in Bang the Drum, Stanley
Rose: Well, I knew she'd be OK. Something similar happened to me back in St. Olaf. I was injured during a spirited game of gowhackanoggin. Dorothy: ... Should I? Oh, what the hell! Rose, what is gowhackanoggin? Rose: It's a lot like baseball. Except, instead of hitting a ball, you whack yourself on the head. After ten whacks, if you're still standing, you take first base. It's usually a very low-scoring game.
