    10 out of 10 from the French judge. 0 out of 10 from the ambulance driver.

    The last time I broke a rib – actually, it was three – I was recovering nicely when I ran across a set of Sniglets that had been published for the first time. Two of them struck me with such hilarity that I couldn’t stop laughing, and almost passed out from the pain. Terrible experience. For the record, the two in question were “Ecnalubma” and “Arachnoleptic Fit.”

    Ouch. Broken ribs are the pits. Don’t ask me how I know. (sigh).

    A triple axel would have been most impressive!

    So far I have managed to stay inside this winter. I have to go for a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. I’ll need snow tires on my walker.

    I did a pirouette sliding down a railing and only damaged my pride.

    If you’re going to take a fall, you might as well do it with Style.

    Me, I couldn’t have described any of those moves without looking them up.

    When you live in Michigan and you go outdoors, you will slip on the ice. That’s just how it is. Sometimes you slip and that’s all. Sometimes you slip and fall and hit the ground. That’s generally not a good thing, but it’s not always that bad a thing. Maybe you land right, maybe you get lucky, maybe angels form a cat’s cradle with their arms and lower you gently, a bit embarrassed but injury-free.

    But if you really want to get hurt, what you do is nearly fall. You flail and flap and dance and tumble and impress the daylights out of even the Eastern-bloc judges for what seems like minutes and finally come to rest in an upright position, soles downward and toes forward, with no evidence that you hit the ice but somehow a musculoskeletal system thrown out of alignment so bad you might as well have.

    Of course, there are also times when you do all that flailing and still touch the floor, injuring many parts many which ways. But it’s still up in the air whether you did the most damage on impact or, well, up in the air. What I do recommend in any event is that you, if you’re at all capable, rise to your feet, thrust your hands into the air and shout to anyone who saw it, because of course people saw it, “He sticks the landing!” It’ll still be a long time before you feel good, but you’ll instantly feel better.

    He’d better be carefull. Broken ribs have been known to puncture lungs.
