... the Game Hen sprained her ankle and is out of the Ice Capades?

Now, instead of getting 7/8ths of the cake, you get 8/8ths! Possibly 16/8ths! Nothin like a cake that no one else is eatin' on...

Ankle sprains can heal: removed from the show entirely.

Mmmmmmmm, fraction cake. Eat it now or save it for later.

Oh for god's sake.

Transcript of typical fatboy conversation:

FBI: The game hen runs to the east, eats cake and tangles her wings in the blackberry bushes.
FBS: Blackberry bushes!
FBM: Is the cake running against the moon, or just falling down the stairs?
FBI: The cake is in Mars.
FBS: Mars is my favorite, but sometimes the pager spins widdershins.
FBI: Yes. Yes it does.

You'd be surprised at how often "widdershins" comes up in conversation.

I'm certainly going to be using it a lot more often.

"Widdershins means anticlockwise, Richard!"

-The Lady Door, Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman

This is a useful quote for two reasons. One, it helps me remember what widdershins means. Two, it reminds me that British people say "anticlockwise" which, for some reason, pleases me greatly.

I learned widdershins from Madeleine L'engle. (I learned kinda a lot of things from Madeleine L'engle.)
