Happy 112th, Flannie!

When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say that you need a change,
A PINT OF PLAIN IS YOUR ONLY MAN.
 
Flann O'Brien * 5 October 1911*

* In case anyone should miss a date of death:
No, he did not die on 1 April 1966. Flann fooled you all, folks.

      Rumour goes that if he had not been gaga, Joyce would have written like him. ;-)

    Els grans escriptors (en aquest cas) mai moren, sempre que hi hagi qui els recordi.

    Aferradetes, Sean.

      Y siempre que sus libros se publiquen, traduzcan y lean.
      Aferradetes, Paula.
