Reply like William Faulkner would, thread
of written out thoughts that mingle reality with perception to a point of response.

Hehe.. The President reminded me of Faulkner as he tried to explain the rather simple details to the rather ignorant blind arses.

1. In the long slow drift of the sundappled afternoon and the profound ancient sloth
of my alcohol-dampened thoughts I reply What you going to do when there ain't no banks or no President or no United States at all my words issuing out of a terrible and blind knowledge.

How was that? :shrug:

3. Faulkner is really a literary entity unto himself.

4. I'll have to brush up on my town drunk
:shrug: ;)

I lived in Oxford for years. He became an icon there after his death. Before that he was, well, an embarrassment...

6. I'd really rather not entertain such a notion as to promulgate my desire one way or another...
...whether or not I'd like to contribute to this excercise you've instigated to ferret out Faulknerian screeds for no other reason than to engender whimsy in the heart of the idiot man-child OP.

9. The wagon wheels rolled steadily forward..

...through the fog and dense grass, never quite reaching its point, as time stood still only the wheels spun steadily in space as if caught in a thick web of the deceptions of humanity.
