Bobalong,
Tasty, eh? May find Marx amid the back shelvers there. Various opiates to
thank "God" fer in resentment's endless struggle for quantity over quality.
Contempt, gift from elsewhere. Over-interpretation beyond mere
paranoia perhaps result of troublesome vision of Cadmean/ younger futhark
alphabets and Gravesian lunisolar tree calendar. No mythic wind is any
historical king's wind. EP and overman? sure why not? Beer-drinking Mencken
did "Anti-Christ". Old Possum slithered back into his Parzival pew in
Chandalaland after he shed his Jessie Weston skin which might have served
him longer had he not.......scared himself with first bite?
"the case presents no adjunct to the muses' diadem", but great coffee house
blather
"We are Hyperboreans...we got our knowledge of it from thousands of
years in the labyrinth." FN
Sante,
-Moyer
