Igunaujannguaq, an Inuit word which translates to "Frozen Walrus Carcass", is a game which involves a person (the "frozen walrus carcass") in the centre of a ring of people trying to remain stiff as he or she is passed, hand over hand, around the ring. The person who drops the "frozen walrus carcass" then becomes the "frozen walrus carcass" and must be passed around the ring.
Famous quotes containing the words frozen, walrus and/or carcass:
“What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
““A loaf of bread,” the Walrus said,
“Is what we chiefly need:”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“The character of the logger’s admiration is betrayed by his very mode of expressing it.... He admires the log, the carcass or corpse, more than the tree.... What right have you to celebrate the virtues of the man you murdered?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
