[Magdalen] coffee

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

Not a chance.  that crud they sell in little tubs that will be in landfills
when our gr-grandchildren are buried -- that's the brew of Old Scratch, for
sure.

I have tried it all, and nothing is worth the bother.

But OS has blinded the eyes of the weak-of-faith, so that they can shout
aloud, but cannot see the true brew.

Clearly we must pray for them, deep in OS's clutches, even tho' they know
it not.
