 with a stomach full of grocery-store brand macaroni and cheese and cut-up Vienna sausages. 'Cause they'd rather believe I don't exist. And from 87 stories up, I can hear one of the good-for-nothings say, "Gimme the cash!" -- real fast like that, just, "Gimme me the fuckin' cash!"

My journey from Marine...

 Gimme that. Oh my God. The gulf of St. Lawrence freezes in the winter time and it becomes the world of the harp seal.
