There's a whole Shane universe which requires careful negotiation, because if I DID ask, I might get the long answer with its references to James Clarence Mangan and John MacCormack and the Napper Tandy and John Huston playing cards with Ward Bond and Spencer Tracy. There are days when I don't always want to hear that explanation.


Well as Maurice MacGowan said about Shaneo in If oi should fall documentary.. twas sth loike "he had a brilliant brain ya know, oi mean he still has, few billion cells later.." :D :D :D

man vs. cunt

"The earliest citation of this usage appears in the Oxford English Dictionary, in reference to a London street known as "Gropecunt Lane," circa 1230. The word and prefix "cunt" have since been incorporated into the colloquial and technical speech of nautical and other occupational traditions." Wikklephilia

Shane gets handjob in Gropecunt Lane circa 1231. Soon after ,disturbing visions and an apoplectic dream about Cardinal John Henry Newman receiving a spiritual awakening from a Heifer via the Royal cAnal stirs indignant passions about Westmeath. The nautical (naughtical) reerence illustrates the Zero Importance and the astronomical influence of the Babylonians, who no longer burning, lead us up to diddly squat. Bo Diddley Squat. Over a drum-fire drinking cider. Pass the skins.
