i'll wait to see how it goes before investing any of my meme-smarts into making an Ayn Rand or Harold Bloom version

The problems with such memes as this, is that it requires actual knowledge of the writer and their work as well as wit in order to use that knowledge and turn out comedic content, and as we all know /lit/ is full of badly read retards.

Hey kiddos, peep this! as it's surely gonna make ya wanna re-read.

There is no actual human man named Thomas Pynchon. Not in a he don't exist sorta way; moreso he's merely another phase is that ol' Rosicrucian plight of eternal life. Francis Bacon was fiercely before his time.
Shakespeare, Joyce, Pynchon, all deliver peculiar gematria.

Bacon never wanted it out. He hid it in text published under fiction, coding hidden meaning to those who truly know. He can be found if you know the spell-casting language.

In the case of a philosophical work however, such an explanation seems not only superfluous, but in view of the nature of the subject matter, even inappropriate and misleading. For whatever might be appropriately said about philosophy in a preface - say a historical statement of the main drift and the point of view, the general contents and results, a string of random assertions and assurances about truth - none of this can be accepted as the way in which to expound philosophical truth. Also, since philosophy moves essentially in the element of universality, which includes in itself the particular, it might seem that here more than in any of the other sciences the subject matter itself, and even in its complete nature, were expressed in the aim and final results, the execution being by contrast the unessential factor.

My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also

>Uses an old worn daughter of James Joyce as a coaster, which he then takes down and puts it in his front-right pants pocket. Then he takes her out, transferring her to his right shirt pocket. He then removes her and puts her in his left-front pants pocket. He lets her sit there for a minute while he measures the waves of skin on the barkeeps ass and then he takes her out and again puts her into his right-front pants pocket. Then he immediately pulls her out, putting her this time into his left shirt pocket. He waits ten heartbeats and moves the daughter to his right shirt pocket. Then, in quick succession, He puts her in his right-front pants pocket, his left-front pants pocket, his left-rear pants pocket, his right-rear pants pocket and finally, back into his right-front pants pocket. Then he pulled her out again.
