Today we stopped at: This Mower was Reaping (106.6), about half way through the list of the various names that have been given to ALP's (untitled) "mamafesta" memorializing her husband (and that had started with a parody of The Lord's Prayer):
Some favourites of the day:
E'en Tho' I Granny a-be He would Fain Me Cuddle (105.3)
Intimier Minnelisp of an Extorreor Monolothe (105.11)
Suppotes a Ventriliquorst Merries a Corpse (105.20)
Lapps for Finns This Funnycoon's Week (105.21)
(with echoes of Lots of Fun at Finnegans Wake)
Cowpoyride by Twelve Acre Terriss in the Unique Estates of Amessican (105.35)
(Hear: cowboy ride, copyright, which may be reminiscent of Joyce's anger about the American publications, as if he were saying that it's a cowboy ride the way they handle authors' rights)
Of all the Wide Torsos in all the Wild Glen (106.1)
I'm the Stitch in his Baskside You'd be Nought Without Mom (106.2)
(Hear the 1920s song You're the Cream in My Coffee, I'd Be Lost Without You)
