"Why don't you give me some of that fancy silverware, Blundell?" young Counterfly now continued.

Counterfly is the kind of cool cat who calls everybody by their last name. Other than that, what information can be gleaned from this line?! Counterfly is either a fancy silverware enthusiast or a moneygrubbing little moneygrubber. Or—and this is why you need to really analyze every line—maybe he's trying to eat a Shepherd's Pie right now and needs a spoon. Or a fork? I don't want to jump to any conclusions as to whether Counterfly is a normal person or obviously insane based on his choice of cutlery.
Oh! "Counterfly" is an anagram of "O! F'n cutlery!" So yeah, that's it. Counterfly just loves fancy silverware.
Enjoying the Blog very much. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel like people who first encounter it expect it to be super scholarly and informative and then I just hope they enjoy the entertainment value (and sometimes insightful bits) of it.
