half this planet from 'Frisco Beach to Vladivostok. The Deity aint no nickel dime bumshow.

(much more or much less than half, depending on the direction)


'bum show' = theatrical flop

I put it to you that He's on the square and a corking fine business proposition. He's the grandest thing yet and don't you forget it. Shout salvation in King Jesus. You'll need to rise precious early, you sinner there, if you want to diddle the Almighty God.




Pflaaaap! Not half. He's got a coughmixture with a punch in it for you, my friend, in his backpocket. Just you try it on.

"Not half" 1917 hymn? 'Not half of the earth's needy millions of the Father have ever been told' [lyrics]
'not half crazy' [cites]

draft: "an unpleasant cough-mixture"

'try it on': cf?? Blake's "To God": If you have form'd a Circle to go into, Go into it yourself & see how you would do.
