I not only have a clue, I have many clues. I have more clues in my little
finger than you have in your whole shriveled body. More clues than you can
imagine, Tourettes boy. You are expressing a matter of opinion. I think
they suck, I think they taste like crap and I think homemade is the only way
to go and I think any fool can do it so what is your excuse you snarling old
*******? Homemade is like night and day. So much better and you can adjust
the seasonings to your taste.

Pheh, like hyou have a ****ing clue. Oh yeah, it is just SOOOOOOOO stupid.
The ingredients are SOOOOOOOOOOO expensive. And it is just SOOOOOOOOOOOO
hard to make. And it is just such a hassle I mean you mix up your salt and
spices and then forget about it. So beyond anyone's abilities. Why bother?
Duh .

Why the **** not? You think making your own salted meat is rocket science?
If you can boil water you can make your own corned beef. Plus you get the
pleasure of doing it yourself and that adds greatly to the whole experience.
But I hear emergency rooms all over the country were overflowing with people
who packed their own briskets in salt. Yeah. Thousands dead, the carnage
was unimaginable. Honest.

Loser.
