OP Hmm, I guess Homo is gone. Too bad, he seemed to be the only combatant here who could swing a good low blow except for Maverick. But no matter, let's talk about James Joyce.
My contention is that James Joyce is a joke; a magnificent joke on the English speaking people, and you who argue that James Joyce literary style serves as a portent of things to come are you yourselves a portent of human literary degeneration.
Of course I mean no offence, but excuse me boys, while I slowly stir the campfire with my penis.
Joyce, schmoyce. I just don't have time for someone who wants to make immortal by being "clever".
maybe someday, but not now.
hope you're wearing an asbestos condom, milo.

But I'll sing you a song about James Joyce, Homo Loquens, and I'll sing it when I get back from town.

Yes, I was just parrying your attempted diversion. But a change of subject is due, and I much prefer threads which are not about contemning Homo Loquens.
Lately I am getting a galvanic skin response from Bach (the Erbarme dich aria from the Matthäuspassion sits at the top of my iTunes playcount). Brian Eno's ambient soundscapes are condusive to lucubration. Steve Reich for his phase music permutations (but not Philip Glass). Johannes Chrysostomos Theophilus or is it Gotlieb somethingorother. The Andantino from his Piano Concerto No. 9 in E Flat Major is beyond praise. The Way I Am by Eminem. The winding fractal gyres of Bach's fugues and cello suites. Leonard Cohen. Radiohead. And since I was a child I have liked that song "Let's Get Physical" by Olivia Newton John.
What about you?
> attempted diversion
sorry, just conversing.
> What about you?
I'll start a new thread.
