   college said it, which i thought sorta dumbed it down significantly. i guess i   
   forgot...(bad influences....like "like..." which my mother always hated,   
   called it a crutch,    
   picked up at the public school...along with dude and dudette, etc...learned of   
   things like frank zappa named his son and daughter dweezil and moon unit   
   respectively, which was enough to get a flavor just through word of mouth, and   
   hear about california    
   valley girl talk like gag me with a spoon, etc...)

   had to lose weight?

   deliiiiiishus!!!! and this yehuda gluten free matzah is thin, and it's also   
   the tastiest regular matzah i've ever had, it's hard to believe it's legit,   
   it's so tasty, i couldn't    
   help it, i broke them both out, and ate half a box of each one, the yehuda one   
   with thin slices of jarlsberg. didn't even need butter or anything. they're   
   chewy.
