List of Finnegan

Lists. There are many forms many kinds many styles many purposes, really there could be a long list on the various types of lists there are. But when I was flipping through Finnegans Wake I found the list that Leubner had discussed with us. It starts on 104 and goes 'til 107. "Her untitled mamafesta memorialising the Mosthighest has gone by many names at disjointed times. Thus we hear of, The Augusta Angustissimost for Old Seabeastius'..." Her untitled manifesto memorializing the most highest has gone by many names at disjointed times. A list about lists. Each item on the list seems to be a satire or ridiculous jumble of words, but I think there is more here maybe. Here are a few of my favorites of the list in a list. Of the Two Ways of Opening the Mouth, Cowpoyride by Twelve Acre Terriss in the Unique Estates of Amessican, Lumptytumtumpty had a Big Fall, The Mimic of Meg Neg and the Mackeys, L.S.D.
