I'm a big fan of Ondaatje, and as an homage to his work, I'm going to post my own Elimination Dances. What are these you ask? From the back sleeve of my copy of the Bilingual Traveller's Edition™ :

"Elimination Dance is based on those dances where a caller decides, seemingly randomly, who is forbidden to continue dancing."

The pronouncements are presented in both English and French (this should make the Babelfish translations interesting).

Got your own? Just add them to the comments.
