Oy, gevalt. A brokh tsu dayn lebn.
I've mostly enjoyed reading this thread. Mostly.
I'm sure my 8th grade English teacher would love to take a red pen to this
paragraph. I'm particularly intrigued (and by that I mean 'annoyed' and
'flabbergasted') by the repeated use of 'everyone' and 'bad'.
The first and last sentences, taken together, make a compelling (and by that
I mean 'ridiculous') argument.
