The Harvard Historical Society has a donated marble gravestone that was found in secondary use in a local garden; it had been broken and replaced and the original discarded.

In the infamous guts spewing sequence, his girlfriend calmly remarked; "They're coming out in the wrong order."Dark Eyes of Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751351780025620827noreply@blogger.com
