"he could talk earish with his eyes shut"

(128.19-130.20)  Today brings the second round of posts dedicated to the first question posed in the sixth chapter of Finnegans Wake.  As I mentioned yesterday, there's not much for me to say about the first question's list at this point, so today I'm just going to give my top five favorite entries (in the order they appear in the Wake).

•  "makes a delictuous entrée and finishes off the course between sweets and savouries" -- I like this one not necessarily because it makes me hungry, but mostly because of the way Joyce plays with "delicious" and "delictum" (Latin for "crime").  In one sense, it's highlighting HCE as a welcoming publican, and in another it emphasizes his cunningly devious side.
• "as it gan in the biguinnengs so wound up in a battle of Boss" -- This is one of at least a good handful of references to Christian prayers (here, the "Glory Be," which in English contains the line "as it was in the beginning").  That aspect of this entry got the attention of the Catholic in me, while the attention of the beer drinker in me was drawn by the references to Guinness and Bass.
• "is the handiest of all andies and a most alleghant spot to dump your hump" -- The mountain range references, which tie into the theme of the body of Finnegan/HCE as the Irish landscape, caught my eye here.  We've got the Andes, of course, but I'm most excited (yup, excited) to see the reference to the Allegheny Mountains, which I drive through and across a few times every year during my travels to the eastern side of Pennsylvania.
• "independent of the lordship of chamberlain, acknowledging the rule of Rome" -- McHugh notes that Dublin was the only place in the British Empire not subject to Lord Chamberlain's power to censor plays.  The idea that both Lord Chamberlain and the Vatican have authority in Ireland calls back to the early moment in Ulysses where Haines tells Stephen Dedalus that Stephen seems to be his own master.  Stephen replies, "I am the servant of two masters . . . an English and an Italian."
• "on Christienmas at Advent Lodge, New Yealand, after a lenty illness the roeverand Mr Easterling of pentecositis, no followers by bequest, fanfare all private" -- Here's another Christianity reference, this time a rough approximation of the liturgical year (Advent, Christmas, New Year's, Lent, Easter, Pentecost).  This ties together both the liturgical year and the human life cycle (from birth to death), and it also reminds us of Joyce's playful use of the phrase "fun for all" as a stand-in for "funeral."
