Even Greco's attorney could barely conceal the fact that he knew what he was saying was complete bullshit. "You mean you've never given a gift to a journalist out of the generosity of your heart??"

Frank Lloyd Wright spoke to this with his advocacy for every-house-on-an-acre type sprawl. I imagine large generic homes are easier/cheaper to produce to fulfill this spiritual demand

This one is going to come home to roost for my alma mater. Plus, Iβm almost entirely certain she wouldnβt even consider hiring any CUA Law students for a clerkshipβ¦
i heard you only get to play as donkey kong for the opening hour or two on the tanker. the rest of the story is told from the perspective of diddy kong as he infiltrates the βbig peelβ bananaspill containment facility on a hostage rescue mission, manipulated by unseen players in a larger game (1/14)
