@robogobo: whatever, they're high in protein and low in everything else. I usually just eat them when I'm too lazy to cook or there's nothing else around, so its' a healthier alternative to going out or snacking on junk.

@Phoshi: cmon guys, it was at least on par with a sci-fi original movie cg monster...

-herbs, don't wanna get caught in a dry spell...

@fjpoblam: I use the same soap and I think the big squeeze bottle lasts about a year. Do they sell it by the gallon or something?
