Searching this phrase brings up some weird ass things. This series is short on weird, long on ennui. I will be more depressed when it’s over. "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."

Mistah Melvin–he dead. I am currently re-reading Heart of Darkness. Ezra Pound and TS Eliot fought over it, or something else.
