In this respect, namely subverting the social order of Westeros, Littlefinger has a certain parallel to Lann the green-eyed trickster, who 'winkled' his way into Casterly Rock:

Quote

A Game of Thrones - Eddard VI

He opened to the section on House Lannister once more, and turned the pages slowly, hoping against hope that something would leap out at him. The Lannisters were an old family, tracing their descent back to Lann the Clever, a trickster from the Age of Heroes who was no doubt as legendary as Bran the Builder, though far more beloved of singers and taletellers. In the songs, Lann was the fellow who winkled the Casterlys out of Casterly Rock with no weapon but his wits, and stole gold from the sun to brighten his curly hair. Ned wished he were here now, to winkle the truth out of this damnable book.

Except it's not true that Lann had no other weapon besides his wits --  on the contrary, he winkled his way into Casterly Rock with his winkie!

Quote

The World of Ice and Fire - The Westerlands

Though never kings, the Casterlys became the richest lords in all of Westeros and the greatest power in the westerlands, and remained so for hundreds of years. By then the Dawn Age had given way to the Age of Heroes.

That was when the golden-haired rogue called Lann the Clever appeared from out of the east. Some say he was an Andal adventurer from across the narrow sea, though this was millennia before the coming of the Andals to Westeros. Regardless of his origins, the tales agree that somehow Lann the Clever winkled the Casterlys out of their Rock and took it for his own.

The precise method by which he accomplished this remains a matter of conjecture. In the most common version of the tale, Lann discovered a secret way inside the Rock, a cleft so narrow that he had to strip off his clothes and coat himself with butter in order to squeeze through.

This dick-of-note lubricated himself with butter in order to slip through the cleft!  Once inside, he proceeded to impregnate the ladies (which makes sense, considering he had stripped off all his clothes, so symbolically he wasn't wearing a condom)!   Likewise, Littlefinger that slippery eel has managed to infiltrate the Eyrie, that famously 'impregnable' castle; and succeeded, against all odds, in impregnating the seemingly impregnable Lysa.

ETA:  Now the falcon's nest is inhabited with a variety of fowl (and foul), including mockingbirds, robins, cuckoos and other little birds -- but no true falcons.  The seed of a dick is strong!  

Quote

Once inside, however, he began to work his mischief, whispering threats in the ears of sleeping Casterlys, howling from the darkness like a demon, stealing treasures from one brother to plant in the bedchamber of another, rigging sundry snares and deadfalls. By such methods he set the Casterlys at odds with one another and convinced them that the Rock was haunted by some fell creature that would never let them live in peace.

Other tellers prefer other versions of the tale. In one, Lann uses the cleft to fill the Rock with mice, rats, and other vermin, thereby driving out the Casterlys. In another, he smuggles a pride of lions inside, and Lord Casterly and his sons are all devoured, after which Lann claims his lordship's wife and daughters for himself. The bawdiest of the stories has Lann stealing in night after night to have his way with the Casterly maidens whilst they sleep. In nine months time, these maids all give birth to golden-haired children whilst still insisting they had never had carnal knowledge of a man.

The last tale, ribald as it is, has certain intriguing aspects that might hint at the truth of what occurred. It is Archmaester Perestan's belief that Lann was a retainer of some sort in service to Lord Casterly (perhaps a household guard), who impregnated his lordship's daughter (or daughters, though that seems less likely), and persuaded her father to give him the girl's hand in marriage. If indeed this was what occurred, assuming (as we must) that Lord Casterly had no trueborn sons, then in the natural course of events the Rock would have passed to the daughter, and hence to Lann, upon the father's death.

Ha! I love it!

Where is part two? Is that where Varys is looking for a way to put Baelish back into his right place? Or where we speculate what Theon's member might grow up to be?

hahahahaha
