I’m going snowboarding in Alaska. I think I’m going to become a moron. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/im-in-salt-lake-city
And I bought the wifi, so I’m posting from the plane.
I think I’m going to become a moron
Going to become? You have already been crowned as one. In fact we gave you the honorary title of moron hagaon harav admor mi-popa shlita.
And its good you have wifi otherwise our posts would take forever to be approved…
Hey popa, how’s the slopes?
Let’s see if he can finagle wifi in Alaska.
I don’t know how the slopes are, but please bear in mind, that according to some Shitos, parts of Western Alaska may possibly be considered on the West Side of the Jewish Dateline, so please be careful to abstain from skiing both on Friday & Saturday.
The FAA prohibits Wi-Fi, and no U.S. airline offers wireless service.
gabi: That’s not true, actually. It’s called gogo or something like that. I used it once.
Service while flying in the air, or on the ground?
Well as the title of this thread is “On a plane”, I’d assume the former.
Perhaps the user princess eagle should comment here her subtitle is flying high…;) lol
It’s inflight. Google “Gogo.”
Poppa- is Alaska as pretty as I’d imagine it to be, with wild moose and grizzly bears dancing merrily in the snow?
Have you become an Eskimoron yet?
Regards to Sarah.
I daven in my car.
Why not in Starbucks?
Looks like a cool place!

“I’m totally staying on a bunk in a hostel. Google “Alyeska hostel” and you can see where I am.
Strange little place. I didn’t tell them I’m Jewish, let alone an Orthodox rabbi. I daven in my car.”
very well, I now can arrange for someone to stalk you;)
Lol this thread is a crack up;)
Popa did you bring your car with you on the plane? Or did you rent one there??
Why wouldn’t you want them to know you are jewish??
I rented one here. For 88 bucks. It doesn’t have snow tires, and I’m sliding all over the place. They don’t even pretend to plow the roads here.
Does it have P185/65 R14 tires?
avoid the polar bears. they may want to eat you if they’re hungry. And I dunno if running for your life will help much.
No mapitom, you might have sth in common with a popa bear… You may even make a geshmakke friend;) he may even teach you the grizzly, laugh…lol;)
I told you I was sending someone to stalk you;)lol
Maybe you were all pretending to be nonjews and all of you were maybe…
“We had 4 ski bums, 2 australian exchange students, 2 alaskan college kids, and a popa.”
That makes 5 bums not 4! Do your math, mate;)
You beat me. Is this a late Purim joke?
My craziest experience was while working as a security volunteer for the world skiing championships almost 10 years ago, getting stuck on a Swiss mountain on a steep slope in near-darkness in a heavy snowstorm (blizzard), extreme cold, and resulting in not being able to see up, down, right, left, front or behind. Met up with a snowboarder and a couple of soldiers stuck in the same situation, eventually we managed to get down very slowly, took more than an hour for what usually would take 2 minutes or so. And that one’s real. Yours sounds too crazy to be true.

It’s probably not;)
If it is true it practically replaces an event diary..How cool;)
popa’s posting from his work desk.
but his descriptions are fascinating, in any case.
So what you are saying is that you put a temporary stop to this daydreaming?
Hang in there, pops, we’ll find you a real oinesh.
In case your offended, I am sorry. I really don’t care if all you wrote is true or not.
I care if it’s true or not. How dare you lie like that!!! I believed every word!!!!
PBA – I’m sure I have many crazy stories, but this one taught me a lesson. I was in a Shul in a strange city, before e/o had cells, Davening Maariv. I was long in my S’E and all of a sudden the lights went out and the door closed. I calmly finished Davening figuring I could just get out in the dark. Anyway this Shul was part of a hotel -so I made my way to the door but you couldn’t open it from the inside and the lights were outside too. Banging did nothing -it wasn’t near anything – in the basement somewhere. So I’m thinking I’m going to have to spend the nite there. Anyway, I decided to search the whole Shul if there was a way out. I searched and found a Janitor’s room. It was like a long closet with cleaning supplies in it. I searched the room and there was a door which was locked, but it was only locked to the outside. Since I was on the inside, I was able to open it. It led to the outside of the hotel -so I was freed for the night.
Midwesterner lives in the snow belt. (Not complaining about 82 degrees in March today, though!) Midwesterner has no interest in going to look for MORE snow!!
Haha, I just can’t see midwesterner on a board. That’s why he didn’t ask.
midwesterner told me via email that he believes me. Surprisingly, he didn’t ask to come along next time.
I intend to do a similar trip next year also at around this time, unless mashiach has come in which case we will go to switzerland which is closer to israel.
POOF!!! Another lie;)
Naw, it was a cat.
We’re a ways back havin our kumzitz meetin…
