• Apocalyse When

  Apocalypse when  Hard to say, Marty took a hearty Francis bored, cajoling exotic birds for cutting room rinds. No pyrotechnics when the president comes Manilla envelopes boxed book depository, lead spread lifeshedder the cranial suppository acquainted with a smack brain matter and tarmac  That’s how we do when the president comes.
