The Literate Loser

My crazy hectic life dictates that I wing this installment of the Literate Loser, and Mark Twain gets positively hilarious. If you normally skip the Literate part of this Loser of a podcast, I’d encourage you to reverse your strategy this time, as it is the Twain stuff that is entertaining!
