Yeah, same here, but for "Finnigan's Wake".
"With her hair in honds tuck up yer part inher." or somesuch.
Related is Philip Farmer's "Riders of the Purple Wage", with ends IIRC
with "Winnegan's Fake!"
"Excretion is the bitter part of valor." (Not you, vallor :-)

Sounds like he needed a blanket party.
We had a manager of whom I noted "He puts the OT in scrum." He'd have us do
stand-ups out in the South Carolina sun and they'd go way long as we sweated.
I believe he enjoyed that.

I reverently believe that the maker who made us all makes everything in New
England, but the weather. I don't know who makes that, but I think it must be
raw apprentices in the weather-clerks factory who experiment and learn how, in
New England, for board and clothes, and then are promoted to make weather for
countries that require a good article, and will take their custom elsewhere
if they don't get it.
