Had he been a Swedish alcoholic and brought up in the Hare Krishna tradition he might as well have extemporated as follows:<br /><br />Har’u Cola<br />Har’u Cola<br />Cola Cola<br />Har’u Har’u<br />Har’u Rom<br />Har’u Rom<br />Rom and Cola<br />Har’u Har’u?<br /><br />I am sorry Emil for having brought down your otherwise highly distinguished blog to this level of loathsome mediocrity.HChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081045957428735389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242228370300474063.post-74845178047517906042010-06-18T19:14:06.652+02:002010-06-18T19:14:06.652+02:00Become you own swami in the following way.
