Subject: Thanum an Dhul!
With enough practice alone in my car, or my shower, and enough whiskey, I may yet get brave enough to sing Finnegan's Wake in public. However, Tim's expletive at the end of the song is a mystery to me. The lyrics in the DT say "Thanum an Dhul! Do you think I'm dead?" What the heck does "thanum an dhul" mean?
