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?

Harry Hope and the Prisoner of the Tower

Harry, at Harry's Hope Saloon, apart from being blessed with the ability to express strange and unidentifiable noises phonetically, has been blessed to come across this "quite accidently." It seems he more deeply appreciates it than others, by comparison, in fact. I do hope he had a lovely Fourth of July.

Poor Harry - fearless war hero and braveheart, true American - feels misrepresented by the Freedom Tower. He believes the name to be embarrassing. Perhaps he'd prefer the name Free'dom To'wer, as, after all, one of his favorite novels is Finnegan's Wake. Time to awake Harry Hope.
