Ashton'd best cease derision
; egregious fumblings garner hatred in judgemental klans. Lest matters natter on (precipitating quagmires), raconteur Scott transliterates umpteen verbs. Wordwright Xanadu, your zIWETHEY. Accordingly, blithely calling due eclectic, freewheeling games heedlessly invites jabber. Kenning LRPD meanings necessitates occasional, personal,
quiet
ruminations. Such thoughts unleash virtually wanton xenophilic yearnings: Zen Achieved.
