One of these is from the first page of Finnegans Wake; one is spam. Can you tell the difference?
A. If penultimate, not preempt. Some sandburg slippery, rejuvenating. Some loam. Seamen on state. A snake, a columbine: try bicarbonate, see, despise. Hereabout some fickle, gargantuan, but concave and systematic, may be troublesome or autocratic. A gentleman may creep through the oasis footwear on tobago, on jumble and slosh, view on glow or lawgiving realisable. Some easygoing, in moist reuben. Moliere?
B. Rot a peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface. The fall(bababadalgharaghtakamminarronn-konnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhoun-awnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later on life down through all christian minstrelsy.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!! I LOVE your spam (mine is nowhere near so... literary).
ReplyDeleteBut I'll bite. Hmmm... well, option B sounds better in a brogue, so I'll say *that's* the Joyce.
Moliere?
Hee.
ReplyDelete"moist reuben" ==> spam sandwich or Irish delicacy?
Anyone, anyone?
Buehler?
Moliere?
yes, I can (what a question! :-D)
ReplyDeleteB is most definitely the JJ.
Hee, Nadia -- I *knew* a Joyce reference would pull you out of lurkdom!
ReplyDelete(For other people: Viacimo is right.)
Try writing "bababadalgharaghtakamminarronn-konnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhoun-awnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk" in longhand. Joyce must have been merrily in his cups that day.
