El picaro' (Was: Boring holes)

|  I'd avoid deconstructing Cervantes and stick to such Burgessian (not
|Borgesian) conceits as to whether or not Willie Wigglestick and the
|arfer of the Knecht of the Woeful Countenance were in cahoots or not.
| Leave the deconstruction to foax who actually speak and write cathtillano,
|like Carlos Fuentes....

God forbid I should ever deconstruct anything...luckily my academic 
experience ceased prior to that particular fashion.  But I do in fact speak 
and write (not the pure tongue of Castile) maybe more like columbian.  And, 
apropos foax who deconstruct or otherwise, one thing I *did* learn at 
"university" is never to leave anything to the (faux) experts...
