Probably a little sillier than the actual O'Brien, but overall I think writers are obsolete.

We probably still need editors though.

Ich bin allen Ernstes letztes Jahr einmal abends wieder aus dem Bett geklettert und habe nachgeschaut, ob die Rewe Bio Finn-Toasties als "nordische" oder "nordirische" Spezialität beworben werden.

Es ist "nordisch" und "Finn" meint wahrscheinlich Finnland, ich muss aber immer auch an Finn MacCool denken, den "legendary hero of old Ireland", den Flann O'Brien in "At Swim-Two-Birds" so schön auf die Schippe nahm.

At Swim-Two-Birds, a novel by writer Brian O’Nolan, writing under the pseudonym Flann O’Brien was first published on 13th March 1939. It is widely considered to be O’Brien’s masterpiece, and one of the most sophisticated examples of metafiction.

Looking out of the window at this dreary time of the year brings to mind this wonderfully dry exchange from 's play "Thirst", first performed by the Dublin Gate Theatre in 1942.

was a legendary hero of old Ireland. Though not mentally robust, he was a man of superb physique and development. Each of his thighs was as thick as a horse’s belly, narrowing to a calf as thick as the belly of a foal. Three fifties of fosterlings could engage with handball against the wideness of his backside, which was wide enough to halt the march of warriors through a mountain pass.

vaulted neck-high sticks and stooped under knee-high sticks. With his eyelids stitched to the fringe of his eye-bags, he ran by Elon’s people through the bogs and the marsh-swamps of Erin with two odorous prickle-backed hogs ham-tied and asleep in the seat of his hempen drawers. Never once did he sink beneath a peat-swamp or lose a hog.

Once swiftly milked a fat cow and carried the milk-pail and cow for twenty years in the seat of his drawers. When he was pursued in a chariot by the men of Erin, he dismounted, placed the horse and chariot in the slack of his seat and hid behind his spear, the same being stuck upright in Erin.

For five days sat on the brow of a cold hill with twelve-pointed stag-antlers hidden in his seat, without food or music or chessmen. Never once did he cry out or eat grass-stalks or desist from the constant recital of sweet poetry and melodious Irish.
