Puzzled I am...
Miles perhaps, among the Chums I envision him not joining in frays to
any great extent, but instead cooking up slumgullions and
mulligatawnies and oyster stew
like the posts that come from Robin and Alice...ie, both have a
Milesish aspect but yet there is conflict...
the fight seems to be like the one the Chums brewed up over what shall
we call the figurehead, which Pynchon implies they ALL engaged in...
even Miles, that would mean...
(both have the juice or the cooking ability to ordinarily remain above the fray)
---- or is the resemblance to Lindsey, whose anguish as he bit into
the pearl resulted in unaccustomed vehemence and salty language --
what pearls have been being secreted into the mess, one wonders, and
by the agency of which inscrutable power?
If, like the Chums, we were all various proceedings from a wonderful
author, what could such a brouhaha signify?
well, if Alice represented NY and Robin (LA and Seattle) represented
CA, could it be like a Knicks-Lakers proceeding?
or East Coast West Coast thing, like Biggie and Tupac er somethin'
with the resultant beef to be chef'd up by Miles and served to Pugnax
