We all bring our personal free (free?) associations from our experiences to 
our perceptions. How about these lyrics from HMS Pinafore:

Gaily tripping, lightly skipping, flock the maidens to the shipping.

I can twist Uri Geller's spoon bending to Gelli T's (perhaps ineffective) 
magic. The Gilbert and Sullivan would be a reach, however. Though it's a 
perfect match to the name, it isn't relevant. Doesn't mean that Pynch didn't 
have the lyric in mind, just makes it a shallower echo.


AsB4,
