the perceived grandeur.
mircea_popescu: not
too bad but not
too large and nowhere near "kick
the

to some idiots somewhere

thing as african literature
mircea_popescu: proper alcohol (which includes no grains as well as nothing ever made by any english speaker anywhere) gives you a very pleasant, mellow morning after. a fine reason
