I been listening to Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Austen? In it Jennifer Saunders does a spot on impression Patsy. It’s so good in fact that my common law wife or something asked if it was Joanna Lumley.

For whatever reason, I’m discussing the importance of word-order with a friend this afternoon.
Would you rather read:
a. A quirky story of revenge.
b. A story of quirky revenge.
?

probably A.
that would suggest the story has unexpected twists or the people involved have personality quirks.
B only makes sense if the act of revenge was executed by a Rube Goldberg machine or people dressed in Scooby Doo costumes or something

I had always considered myself more of an A in that choice, but then I’ve read so much Prachett and Jasper Fforde weirdness in the last few years that I find myself leaning more toward B.
There’s always C., I suppose.
“The revenge of the quirky story”.

The revenge itself could be something quirky…like embarrassing someone by tricking them into objecting at their own wedding, or getting them convicted for trafficking penguins. I’d be tempted to pick that just to find out.

I would go with option “Q” —
A quirky story of quirky revenge.

I think B.
To me it broadens the possibilities of what could constitute revenge.

A story of revenge, Quirky.
(Yes, his parents were Quirky too. They come from a long, proud line of Quirky people.)

I’m suddenly reminded of the ending of the movie “Misery”, where James Caan bashes Kathy Bates over the head with his typewriter.
But that’s more of a qwerty revenge story, really.
