Finnegans Fisted

Once upon a time, James Joyce wrote a book called:

Finnegans Wake

That's not:

Finnegan's Wake

But some blogger's get the title wrong! Which means they don't understand the book at all. This blog has two missions. One, educate the ignorant. Two, correct all such mistakes world wide. And three, anything else.

100 Fact's

Lists of one hundred facts are always fascinating, right? For instance, here are some juicy morsels from Landismom's List:
23. I love gardening, but hate weeding.

...zzz...

27. I watch too much TV.

Now, Fist Fans, if you feel your head nodding down, lolling, and about to crash down upon your computer, down into a boredom-induced doze, down into one hundred years of blank, dreamless sleep - don't worry. I have a Landismom Fact that will certainly wake you up. A Fact that will make your eyes pop out from your head, and steam parp through your ears - if you're anything like me, that is.

Ready?
46. I've read Joyce's Ulysses twice, but never Finnegan's Wake.

What, not even the title?

Well, Fist, at least you know there is no possibility that she is lying.
How could she read a book that doesn't exist?

you know, that one really conveyed the pretentiousness. who gives a crap that she's read Ulysses at all, let alone twice. and who gives another crap if she hasn't read Finnegans Wake??

My heart is in this crusade now, Fist! Let's change the world!

wow... i got all steamy there. huh.

Wonder how she did it? what with all the TV watching and all? Gotta bounce, I'm almost finished The Bible.(it's headed towards a great ending I think!)

What about Michael Finnegan?

Eh?

 
At 8/11/2005 10:41:00 PM, Blogger Quentin S. Crisp said...

That should have read:

"What about Michael Finnegan?

Eh?"

Although, perhaps "Ay?" would have conveyed my tone better. Or perhaps not.

No, foiled again. Here goes, for what it's worth, with no HTML:

What about Michael Finnegan?

Eh?

This is my favourite fact:

92. At one point, when she had to go to the ER, she insisted on having some thumby. The RN in charge said she had never seen anything like it.

Unfortunately, I was, for some reason, unable to read the first nine, so I might have missed some better ones there.

WTF is a thumby?

maybe someone just mentioned the title to her. i'm giving her the benefit of the doubt because everybody tells me i'm nice. so i will be nice and say that maybe someone just mentioned the title to her. and she, of course, spelled it the worst possible way.

Gee, thanks for pointing out my mistake in such a mature way.
