¿Es el alto al fuego en la franja de gaza una esperanza?
El facho pobre, el cholonazi, el terruqueador,
características de esa fauna de acomplejados, que pululan destilando odio
y bilis. Racistas e intolerantes con sus iguales, de insulto y cuchillo fácil;
y cuando el lloriqueo fujifascista los pone en evidencia, suelen decir que son
anarquistas, y que no les interesa la política, cuando la antipolítica es una
de las características notables del fascismo. Contradictoriamente libertarados,
pero no se les puede decir nada, porque inmediatamente se hacen los sabios y se
ponen faltosos. Por allí dicen que “no hay que gastar balas en gallinazos”, así
que es mejor dejarlos, porque, cómo decía Mark Twain, al menos en esa cita que
se le atribuye: “Nunca discutas con un imbécil, te hará descender a su nivel y
allí te vencerá por experiencia”. Y, pese a mi antifascismo pulsional, prefiero
dejarlos así, con su replana predecible y discurso de manual. Hace un tiempo,
una amiga me pasó una lista de subtes fachos, o de esos que se consideran
subtes y que chillan y terruquean todo el tiempo, luego de casi un lustro, he
ido agregando nombres a esa lista. Por eso les dejo este video, para que se
miren en el espejo y se reconozcan. Tal vez el país es diferente pero la fauna
siempre será la misma.

Blásica No es algo mucho mas parecido a Joyce: ¡Me gustaría que me
flagelaras, Facho, amor mío! Me encantaría haber hecho algo que te desagradara,
algo insignificante incluso, tal vez una de mis costumbres bastante indecentes
que te hacen reír: y después oír que me llamas a tu habitación y encontrarte
sentado en un sillón con tus gruesos muslos separados y la cara roja como un
tomate de ira y un bastón en la mano. Es como con Dios yo siempre lo veo así
como veo la debilidad en la inteligencia humana hasta en Joyce mismo, sino me
crees lee Finnegans Wake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tWPMjqXK_o es un

riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle
and Environs. Sir Tristram, violer d’amores, fr’over the short sea, had
passencore rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of
Europe Minor to wielderfi ght his penisolate war: nor had topsawyer’s rocks by

called themselves Caddy and Primas. Primas was a santryman and drilled all
decent people. Caddy went to Winehouse and wrote o peace a farce. Blotty words
for Dublin. Somewhere, parently, in the ginnandgo gap between antediluvious and
annadominant the copyist must have fl ed with his scroll. Th e billy fl ood
rose or an elk charged him or the sultrup worldwright from the excelsissimost
empyrean (bolt, in sum) earthspake or the Dannamen gallous banged pan the

fi ne covered by six marks or ninepins in metalmen for the sake of his labour’s
dross while it will be only now and again in our rear of o’er era, as an
upshoot of military and civil engagements, that a gynecure was let on to the
scuff old for taking that same fi ne sum covertly by meddlement with the
drawers of his neighbour’s safe. Now after all that farfatch’d and peragrine or
dingnant or clere lift we our ears, eyes of the darkness, from the tome of
Liber Lividus and, (toh!), how paisibly eirenical, all dimmering dunes and
gloamering glades, selfstretches afore us our fredeland’s plain! Lean neath

in an auldstane eld, when Adam was delvin and his madameen spinning watersilts,
when mulk mountynotty man was everybully and the fi rst leal ribberrobber that
ever had her ainway everybuddy to his lovesaking eyes and everybilly lived
alove with everybiddy else, and Jarl van Hoother had his burnt head high up in
his lamphouse, laying cold hands on himself. And his two little jiminies,
cousins of ourn, Tristopher and Hilary, were kickaheeling their dummy on the
oil cloth fl ure of his homerigh, castle and earthenhouse. And, be dermot, who
come to the keep of his inn only the nieceof-his-in-law, the prankquean. And the
prankquean pulled a rosy one and made her wit foreninst the dour. And she lit
up and fi reland was ablaze. And spoke she to the dour in her petty perusienne:
Mark the Wans, why do I am alook alike a poss of porterpease? And that was how
the skirtmisshes began. But the dour handworded her grace in dootch nossow:
Shut! So her grace o’malice kidsnapped up the jiminy Tristopher and into the
shandy westerness she rain, rain, rain. And Jarl van Hoother warlessed after
her with soft dovesgall: Stop deef stop come back to my earin stop. But she
swaradid to him: Unlikelihud. And there was a brannewail that same sabboath
night of falling angles somewhere in Erio. And the prankquean went for her
forty years’ walk in Tourlemonde and she washed the blessings of the lovespots
off the jiminy with soap sulliver suddles and she had her four owlers masters
for to tauch him his tickles and she convorted him to the onesure allgood and
he became a luderman. So then she started to rain and to rain and, be redtom,
she was back again at Jarl van Hoother’s in a brace of samers and the jiminy
with her in her pinafrond, lace at night, at another time. And where did she
come but to the bar of his bristolry. And Jarl von Hoother had his
baretholobruised heels drowned in his cellarmalt, shaking warm hands with
himself and the jimminy Hilary and 22 the dummy in their fi rst infancy were
below on the tearsheet, wringing and coughing, like brodar and histher. And the
prankquean nipped a paly one and lit up again and redcocks fl ew fl ackering
from the hillcombs. And she made her witter before the wicked, saying: Mark the
Twy, why do I am alook alike two poss of porterpease? And: Shut! says the
wicked, handwording her madesty. So her madesty aforethought set down a jiminy
and took up a jiminy and all the lilipath ways to Woeman’s Land she rain, rain,
rain. And Jarl von Hoother bleethered atter her with a loud fi negale: Stop

there was a wild old grannewwail that laurency night of starshootings somewhere
in Erio. And the prankquean went for her forty years’ walk in Turnlemeem and
she punched the curses of cromcruwell with the nail of a top into the jiminy
and she had her four larksical monitrix to touch him his tears and she
provorted him to the onecertain allsecure and he became a tristian. So then she
started raining, raining, and in a pair of changers, be dom ter, she was back
again at Jarl von Hoother’s and the Larryhill with her under her abromette. And
why would she halt at all if not by the ward of his mansionhome of another nice
lace for the third charm? And Jarl von Hoother had his hurricane hips up to his
pantrybox, ruminating in his holdfour stomachs (Dare! O dare!), and the jiminy
Toughertrees and the dummy were belove on the watercloth, kissing and spitting,
and roguing and poghuing, like knavepaltry and naivebride and in their second
infancy. And the prankquean picked a blank and lit out and the valleys lay
twinkling. And she made her wittest in front of the arkway of trihump, asking:
Mark the Tris, why do I am alook alike three poss of porter pease? But that was
how the skirtmishes endupped. For like the campbells acoming with a fork lance
of lightning, Jarl von Hoother Boanerges himself, the old terror of the dames,

Humphrey Chimpden’s occupational agnomen (we are back in the presurnames
prodromarith period, of course just when enos chalked halltraps) and discarding
once for all those theories from older sources which would link him back with

of vikings who had founded wapentake and seddled hem in Herrick or Eric, the
best authenticated version, the Dumlat, read the Reading of Hofed-ben-Edar, has
it that it was this way. We are told how in the beginning it came to pass that
like cabbaging Cincinnatus the grand old gardener was saving daylight under his
redwoodtree one sultry sabbath afternoon, Hag Chivychas Eve, in prefall
paradise peace by following his plough for rootles in the rere garden of
mobhouse, ye olde marine hotel, when royalty was announced by runner to have
been pleased to have halted itself on the highroad along which a leisureloving
dogfox had cast followed, also at walking pace, by a lady pack of cocker
spaniels. Forgetful of all save his vassal’s plain fealty to the ethnarch Humphrey
or Harold stayed not to yoke or saddle but stumbled out hotface as he was (his
sweatful bandanna loose from his pocketcoat) hasting to the forecourts of his
public in topee, surcingle, solascarf and plaid, plus fours, puttees and
bulldog boots ruddled cinnabar with 31 fl agrant marl, jingling his turnpike
keys and bearing aloft amid the fi xed pikes of the hunting party a high perch
atop of which a fl owerpot was fi xed earthside hoist with care. On his
majesty, who was, or often feigned to be, noticeably longsighted from green

to be thus potholed, asking substitutionally to be put wise as to whether

honest blunt Haromphreyld answered in no uncertain tones very similarly with a
fearless forehead: Naw, yer maggers, aw war jist a cotchin on thon bluggy

gift both and gorban, upon this, ceasing to swallow, smiled most heartily
beneath his walrus moustaches and indulging that none too genial humour which
William the Conk on the spindle side had inherited with the hereditary
whitelock and some shortfi ngeredness from his greataunt Sophy, turned towards
two of his retinue of gallowglasses, Michael, etheling lord of Leix and Off aly
and the jubilee mayor of Drogheda, Elcock, (the two scatterguns being Michael
M. Manning, protosyndic of Waterford and an Italian excellency named Giubilei
according to a later version cited by the learned scholarch Canavan of
Canmakenoise), in either case a triptychal religious family symbolising puritas
of doctrina, business per usuals and the purchypatch of hamlock where the
paddish preties grow and remarked dilsydulsily: Holybones of Saint Hubert how
our red brother of Pouringrainia would audibly fume did he know that we have

aside the fallacy, as punical as fi nikin, that it was not the king kingself
but his inseparable sisters, uncontrollable nighttalkers, Skertsiraizde with
Donyahzade, who afterwards, when the robberers shot up the socialights, came
down into the world as amusers and were staged by Madame Sudlow as Rosa and
Lily Miskinguette in the pantalime that two pitts paythronosed, Miliodorus and
Galathee. Th e great fact emerges that after that historic date all holographs
so far exhumed initialled by Haromphrey bear the sigla H.C.E. and while he was
only and long and always good Dook Umphrey for the hungerlean spalpeens of
Lucalizod and Chimbers to his cronies it was equally certainly a pleasant turn
of the populace which gave him as sense of those normative letters the nickname
Here Comes Everybody. An imposing everybody he always indeed looked, constantly
the same as and equal to himself and magnifi cently well worthy of any and all
such universalisation, every time he continually surveyed, amid vociferatings
from in front of Accept these few nutties! and Take off that white hat!,

neck, nape and shoulderblades and in a wardrobe panelled tuxedo completely
thrown back from a shirt well entitled a swallowall, on every point far outstarching
the laundered clawhammers and marbletopped highboys of the pit stalls and early
amphitheatre. Th e piece was this: look at the lamps. Th e cast was thus: see
under the clock. Ladies circle: cloaks may be left. Pit, prommer and parterre,
standing room only. Habituels conspicuously emergent. A baser meaning has been
read into these characters the literal sense of which decency can safely
scarcely hint. It has been blurtingly bruited by certain wisecrackers (the
stinks of Mohorat are in the nightplots of the morning), that he suff ered from
a vile disease. Athma, unmanner them! To such a suggestion the one
selfrespecting answer is to affi rm that there are certain statements which
ought not to be, and one should like to hope to be able to add, ought not to be
allowed to be made. Nor have his detractors, who, an imperfectly warmblooded
race, apparently conceive him as a great white caterpillar capable of any and
every enormity in the calendar recorded to the discredit of the Juke and
Kellikek families, mended their case by insinuating that, alternately, he lay
at one time under the ludicrous imputation of annoying Welsh fusiliers in the
people’s park. Hay, hay, hay! Hoq, hoq, hoq! Faun and Flora on the lea love
that little old joq. To anyone who knew and loved the christlikeness of the big
cleanminded giant H. C. Earwicker throughout his excellency long vicefreegal
existence the mere suggestion of him as a lustsleuth nosing for trouble in a
boobytrap rings particularly preposterous. Truth, beard on prophet, compels one
to add that there is said to have been quondam (pfuit! pfuit!) some case of the
kind implicating, it is interdum believed, a quidam (if he did not exist it
would be necessary quoniam to invent him) abhout that time stambuling ha- 34

billowing across the wide expanse of our greatest park in his caoutchouc kepi

and Bhagafat gaiters and his rubberised inverness, he met a cad with a pipe. Th

dagabout in the same straw bamer, carryin his overgoat under his schulder,
sheepside out, so as to look more like a coumfry gentleman and signing the

some of our olddaisers may still tremblingly recall) to ask could he tell him
how much a clock it was that the clock struck had he any idea by cock’s luck as
his watch was bradys. Hesitency was clearly to be evitated. Execration as

has been made had been absent from his usual wild and woolly haunts in the land
of counties capalleens for some time previous to that (he was, in fact, in the
habit of frequenting common lodginghouses where he slept in a nude state,
hailfellow with meth, in strange men’s cots) but on racenight, blotto after
divers tots of hell fi re, red biddy, bull dog, blue ruin and creeping jenny,
Eglandine’s choicest herbage, supplied by the Duck and Doggies, the Galopping
Primrose, Brigid Brewster’s, the Cock, the Postboy’s Horn, 40 the Little Old
Man’s and All Swell Th at Aimswell, the Cup and the Stirrup, he sought his
wellwarmed leababobed in a housingroom Abide With Oneanother at Block W.W.,

katya when lavinias had her mens lease to sea in a psumpship doodly show
whereat he was looking for fi ght niggers with whilde roarses) oft in the
chilly night (the metagonistic! the epickthalamorous!) during uneasy slumber in
their hearings of a small and stonybroke cashdraper’s executive, Peter Cloran
(discharged), O’Mara, an exprivate secretary of no fi xed abode (locally known
as Mildew Lisa), who had passed several nights, funnish enough, in a doorway
under the blankets of homelessness on the bunk of iceland, pillowed upon the
stone of destiny colder than man’s knee or woman’s breast, and Hosty, (no
slouch of a name), an illstarred beachbusker, who, sans rootie and sans
scrapie, suspicioning as how he was setting on a twoodstool on the verge of
selfabyss, most starved, with melancholia over everything in general, (night
birman, you served him with natigal’s nano!) had been towhead tossing on his
shakedown, devising ways and manners of means, of what he loved to ifi
dalicence somehow or other in the nation getting a hold of some chap’s
parabellum in the hope of taking a wing sociable and lighting upon a sidewheel
dive somewhere off the Dullkey Downlairy and Bleakrooky tramaline where he
could throw true and go and blow the sibicidal napper off himself for two bits

after having being trying all he knew with the lady’s help of Madam Gristle for
upwards of eighteen calanders to get out of Sir Patrick Dun’s, through Sir
Humphrey Jervis’s and into the Saint Kevin’s bed in the Adelaide’s hosspittles
(from 41 these incurable welleslays among those uncarable wellasdays through
Sant Iago by his cocklehat, good Lazar, deliver us!) without after having been
able to jerrywangle it anysides. Lisa O’Deavis and Roche Mongan (who had so
much incommon, epipsychidically; if the phrase be permitted hostis et odor
insuper petroperfractus) as an understood thing slept their sleep of the
swimborne in the one sweet undulant mother of tumblerbunks with Hosty just how
the shavers in the shaw the yokels in the yoats or, well, the wasters in the
wilde, and the bustling tweenydawn-of-all-works (meed of anthems here we pant!)
had not been many jiffi es furbishing potlids, doorbrasses, scholars’
applecheeks and linkboy’s metals when, ashhopperminded like no fella he go make
bakenbeggfuss longa white man, the rejuvenated busker (for after a goodnight’s
rave and rumble and a shinkhams topmorning with his coexes he was not the same
man) and his broadawake bedroom suite (our boys, as our Byron called them) were
up and ashuffl e from the hogshome they lovenaned Th e Barrel, cross Ebblinn’s
chilled hamlet (thrie routes and restings on their then superfi cies curiously
correspondant with those linea and puncta where our tubenny habenny metro
maniplumbs below the oberfl ake underrails and stations at this time of riding)
to the thrummings of a crewth fi ddle which, cremoaning and cronauning, levey
grevey, witty and wevey, appy, leppy and playable, caressed the ears of the
subjects of King Saint Finnerty the Festive who, in brick homes of their own
and in their fl avory fraiseberry beds, heeding hardly cry of honeyman, soed
lavender or foyneboyne salmon alive, with their priggish mouths all open for
the larger appraisiation of this longawaited Messiagh of roaratorios, were only
halfpast atsweeeep and after a brisk pause at a pawnbroking establishment for
the prothetic purpose of redeeming the songster’s truly admirable false teeth
and a prolonged visit to a house of call at Cujas Place, fi zz, the Old Sots’
Hole in the parish of Saint Cecily within the liberty of Ceolmore not a
thousand or one national leagues, that was, by Griffi th’s valuation, from the
site of the statue of Primewer Glasstone setting a match to the march of a
maker (last of the stewards peut-être), where, the tale rambles 42 along, the
trio of whackfolthediddlers was joined by a further — intentions — apply —
tomorrow casual and a decent sort of the hadbeen variety who had just been
touching the weekly insult, phewit, and all fi gblabbers (who saith of noun?)
had stimulants in the shape of gee and gees stood by the damn decent sort after
which stag luncheon and a few ones more just to celebrate yesterday, fl ushed
with their fi restuff fostered friendship, the rascals came out of the licensed
premises, (Browne’s fi rst, the small p.s. ex-exexecutive capahand in their sad
rear like a lady’s postscript: I want money. Pleasend), wiping their
laughleaking lipes on their sleeves, how the bouckaleens shout their roscan
generally (seinn fi on, seinn fi on’s araun.) and the rhymers’ world was with
reason the richer for a wouldbe ballad, to the balledder of which the world of
cumannity singing owes a tribute for having placed on the planet’s melomap his
lay of the vilest bogeyer but most attractionable avatar the world has ever had
to explain for. Th is, more krectly lubeen or fellow—me—lieder was fi rst
poured forth where Riau Liviau riots and col de Houdo humps, under the shadow
of the monument of the shouldhavebeen legislator (Eleutheriodendron! Spare,
woodmann, spare!) to an overfl ow meeting of all the nations in Lenster fullyfi
lling the visional area and, as a singleminded supercrowd, easily
representative, what with masks, whet with faces, of all sections and cross
sections (wineshop and cocoahouse poured out to brim up the broaching) of our
liff eyside people (to omit to mention of the mainland minority and such as had
wayfared via Watling, Ernin, Icknild and Stane, in chief a halted cockney car
with its quotal of Hardmuth’s hacks, a northern tory, a southern whig, an
eastanglian chronicler and a landwester guardian) ranging from slips of young
dublinos from Cutpurse Row having nothing better to do than walk about with
their hands in their kneepants, sucking airwhackers, weedulicet, jumbobricks,
side by side with truant offi cers, three woollen balls and poplin in search of
a croust of pawn to busy professional gentlemen, a brace of palesmen with
dundrearies, nooning toward Daly’s, fresh from snipehitting and mallardmissing
on Rutland heath, exchanging cold sneers, mass- 43 going ladies from Hume
Street in their chairs, the bearers baited, some wandering hamalags out of the
adjacent cloverfi elds of Mosse’s Gardens, an oblate fater from Skinner’s
Alley, bricklayers, a fl eming, in tabinet fumant, with spouse and dog, an aged
hammersmith who had some chisellers by the hand, a bout of cudgel players, not
a few sheep with the braxy, two bluecoat scholars, four broke gents out of
Simpson’s on the Rocks, a portly and a pert still tassing Turkey Coff ee and
orange shrub in tickeyes door, Peter Pim and Paul Fry and then Elliot and, O,
Atkinson, suff ering hell’s delights from the blains of their annuitant’s
acorns not forgetting a deuce of dianas ridy for the hunt, a particularist
prebendary pondering on the roman easter, the tonsure question and greek
uniates, plunk em, a lace lappet head or two or three or four from a window,
and so on down to a few good old souls, who, as they were juiced after taking
their pledge over at the unkle’s place, were evidently under the spell of
liquor, from the wake of Tarry the Tailor a fair girl, a jolly postboy thinking
off three fl agons and one, a plumodrole, a half sir from the weaver’s
almshouse who clings and clings and chatchatchat clings to her, a wholedam’s
cloudhued pittycoat, as child, as curiolater, as Caoch O’Leary. Th e wararrow
went round, so it did, (a nation wants a gaze) and the ballad, in the felibrine
trancoped metre aff ectioned by Taiocebo in his Casudas de Poulichinello
Artahut, stumpstampaded on to a slip of blancovide and headed by an excessively
rough and red woodcut, privately printed at the rimepress of Delville, soon fl
uttered its secret on white highway and brown byway to the rose of the winds
and the blew of the gaels, from archway to lattice and from black hand to pink
ear, village crying to village, through the fi ve pussyfours green of the
united states of Scotia Picta — and he who denies it, may his hairs be rubbed
in dirt! To the added strains (so peacifold) of his majesty the fl oote, that
onecrooned king of inscrewments, Piggots’s purest, ciello alsoliuto, which Mr
Delaney (Mr Delacey?), horn, anticipating a perfect downpour of plaudits among
the rapsods, piped out of his decentsoort hat, looking still more like his
purseyful namesake as men of Gaul noted, but before of to sputabout, the 44
snowycrested curl amoist the leader’s wild and moulting hair, ‘Ductor’
Hitchcock hoisted his fezzy fuzz at bludgeon’s height signum to his companions
of the chalice for the Loud Fellow, boys’ and silentium in curia! (our maypole
once more where he rose of old) and the canto was chantied there chorussed and
christened where by the old tollgate, Saint Annona’s Street and Church. And
aroud the lawn the rann it rann and this is the rann that Hosty made. Spoken.
Boyles and Cahills, Skerretts and Pritchards, viersefi ed and piersifi ed may

Vike, some mote him Mike, some dub him Llyn and Phin while others hail him Lug
Bug Dan Lop, Lex, Lax, Gunne or Guinn. Some apt him Arth, some bapt him Barth,
Coll, Noll, Soll, Will, Weel, Wall but I parse him Persse O’Reilly else he’s
called no name at all. Together. Arrah, leave it to Hosty, frosty Hosty, leave
it to Hosty for he’s the mann to rhyme the rann, the rann, the rann, the king
of all ranns. Have you here? (Some ha) Have we where? (Some hant) Have you
