Mister Finnagain!

• Finnegan → 005.10 Finn

• s Michael Finnegan: an endless song, which repeats itself ad nauseam → Vico's circular conception of history:

There was a man called Michael Finnegan

He grew whiskers on his chinnegan

The wind came along and blew them in again

Poor old Michael Finnegan

Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan

He went fishing with a pinnegan

Caught a fish and dropped it in again

Poor old Michael Finnegan

Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan

He grew fat and then grew thin again

Then he died and had to begin again

Poor old Michael Finnegan

Begin again ... (etc.)

• F fin: end → fin + again → Vico's circular conception of history

• Mister Finn, you're going to be Mister Finnagain!: Finnegan's death and return (in death, he ceased to be Finn/Finnegan; upon awakening, he became so again)
