THIS LOOKS LIKE A BAD_ATTACK OF HOOF-AND-MOUTH, HEY GIRLS How did this anchovy ever come to be pressed 1 n the leaves of my diary? Anyways, here's the racket: “When did you first begin to love me, Marcus?” asked Alma, poking her pan 'neath schnoz “When I began to get sore when people said you were a half-wit and looked like @ tornado We're either in Syracuse, Worcester his her lover’s tender schmoos. or Providence; that one didn’t even ripple them.
