Blah, all suck sucks. In fact suck is the suckiest suck that ever sucked.

I would like to apologize to **Diogenes the cynic** also. That way, if I insult him at some time in the future, we’re already square, and if I don’t, well, then he owes me an apology.

Hmmm - you’re right - it does taste a bit like suck.

When I read the title, I thought it was going to be another one of those “Throw the sandwich enclosed in a ziplock in the toilet, fish it out, and EAT it” threads.

So for getting my hopes up, you suck.

You all make me sick with your comercial environment destroying suck. Only all natural organic soy suck for me. Mmm. That’s good suck.

Tastes a little like crow though.

You guys have totally missed the most important part here. **Smiling bandit** , do the [Crow](http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/naind/html/na_009300_crow.htm) know you’ve been eating them and have the bad manners to criticize their taste, to boot? Talk about adding insult to injury!

I like a nice, iced suck with lemon and sugar. Although hot suck with lemon is nice when you have a sore throat, or it’s cold outside.
