Inspired by this post from “scared driver delight” and the work of “eclipse”:
Write a short story or scenario involving a CR user or multiple users and/or mods going about life in the way that they typically behave on the CR!
(Yes, PAA, I remember this, but I didn’t have this thought in response to it. Also, I think some of us were out of character in that one.)
October 23, 2014 12:44 am at 12:44 am #1067255Main ManagerMemberYou write a story first then I”ll write one.
October 23, 2014 3:12 am at 3:12 am #1067256Patur Aval AssurParticipantRandomex:
When I first read your post I didn’t notice that you linked my epic tale, and I immediately thought to link it, but then I noticed you already had done so. But I’m glad by hovering shadow is keeping you on your toes.
By the way, who was out of character?
October 23, 2014 4:05 am at 4:05 am #1067257☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAhem…
October 23, 2014 4:13 am at 4:13 am #1067258Little FroggieParticipantI’m all for it, as long as you don’t hurt anyone’s feeling…
October 23, 2014 4:21 am at 4:21 am #1067259Patur Aval AssurParticipantDaasYochid:
You were the most in-character.
October 23, 2014 4:38 am at 4:38 am #1067260screwdriverdelightParticipantEvery character attribute is meant to bring out the best in him/her. So, even if I’m wrong, there’s no need ti get insulted. (BTW, I may have not analyzed PAA correctly)
So I’m walking down the road and bump into Randomex, or more accurately, he bumped into me because he was dancing and I don’t know what. Or, if he’s a girl, she was just waving her emerald sword, and I said “Hi” and s/he said something pretty undecipherable, with a song to go along as well,
and as we’re shmoozing along comes the lamedvuvnik and CIJ. The latter says how nice it is we’re all here together and lamedvuvnik is in his own world, just garbling about whatever seems to enter his mind, indifferent to what every else is thinking.
And Little Froggie bounces in, livens things up a bit. And then we see PAA (who quickly stuffs a CD in his pocket, but too late. I already see it says oitzar hachochma.) and demands why everyone is standing around if we could sit down. And then things get heated very quickly, everyone weighing the cons and pros of standing. And as more guys come, the argument gets more and more heated and less and less followable and I’m ambivalent about joining the fascinating complexities in pointless arguments, versus the simple tranquility of the side conversations, so I do a little of both, or maybe a little of neither. And then suddenly, a voice makes us jump. We hadn’t noticed the figure behind the tree, but there he is, saying, “Hi. I’m alive.” and we all turn and see that it’s the mod. So we all wave back and say, “we’re alive, too,” and resume the conversations. Except for some people who continue talking with the mod, I have no idea what about (I mean, he is alive, no?)
and then………..<i>to be continued………………………………..by someone else…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
October 23, 2014 5:15 am at 5:15 am #1067261☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYou were the most in-character.
I was about to get insulted, but when I realized how bad your portrayal of the other CR members was, I realized that calling my portrayal the most in-character wasn’t saying much.

See Randomex it’s not only me!!! Thanks duke V you made me feel smarter 😀
October 23, 2014 9:57 am at 9:57 am #1067263RandomexMemberScared driver delight:
I’ll talk to you later, b’li neder.
PAA:
But I'm glad by hovering shadow is keeping you on your toes.
I await the day when you admit that it goes both ways… 🙂
By the way, who was out of character?
Let’s see, in chronological order (Oh, and no arguing about whether anything is in fact in character, please*):
I want to perform an action which is obviously morally wrong,
unless I can determine that it is assur al pi halacha.
–
DaasYochid gives a wrong p’sak (*).
–
DaasYochid is confrontational for no reason (*).
–
You’re awesome (just kidding).
–
You, as the author, are betrayed by your sesquipedalianism (see below), but this is in character and not part of the story.
–
Unless Popa intends to pay for his drinking, and the context implies that he does not, he commits theft (*).
–
(I don’t know DaMoshe.)
–
I am jealous of Popa and “spend all my waking hours reading threads that predate me.” (I’m unsure about the “doing something
just for attention” part.)
–
The mod allows things to get out of hand without even realizing it.
So that’s me, DaasYochid, Popa, and the mod. No, you can’t debate even the points that don’t have asterisks – those are just for when I thought you might need reminding of the rule.
(I never got around to reading some of the posts in that thread,
so I didn’t write up any response (maybe someday) [yes, I know I don’t always follow this policy], but look up the meaning of “counterpunch” before you use it again. {Also, that “cover” wasn’t a cover}.)
October 23, 2014 10:11 am at 10:11 am #1067264cozimjewishMembersorry i meant scared driver delight, not sirvoddmort 🙂
October 23, 2014 11:17 am at 11:17 am #1067265cozimjewishMemberWhat would it look like if all the CR members did an exam together??? My guess is a little bit like this……
The exam will be over in just fifteen minutes,
According to the clock on the wall…..
Since mod-73 is known to be strict,
Everyone is giving it their all.
Letakein Girl is nervously biting her nails
Making sure she answered EVERY question,
SayIDidIt is trying to keep her nerves down
By whispering helpful suggestions
Shopping is writing creative answers
Certain to entertain 🙂
I am staring at the desk beside mine
Wondering if I am sane:
I mean, sitting there taking a test:
Is that a FROG I see?!
(Well at any rate he seems to know what he’s doing.
Which is more than I can say for me….)
Haifagirl is super frustrated
Coz the questions are all written poorly,
Who allowed the tests through this way?!
They should have been deleted, surely??
Randomex has included a list of references
For every single quote.
(Yeah, good luck trying to understand
Every second word she wrote…. ;P)
Eftach is analyzing every question
Looking for a deeper meaning in each one
Popa isn’t answering any.
(But the people around him are sure having fun)
PAA’s answers are all Aramaic
Not an English word in sight.
(He knows the mod will just be like, “Umm….uh-huh”
And mark all his answers right….)
etc.etc.etc.etc…..
October 23, 2014 1:23 pm at 1:23 pm #1067266RandomexMembercozimjewish:
YAY! Now that was worth creating this thread for! Were you using
any specific works for inspiration? By the way, SayIDidIt™ is a guy:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/name-that-tune/page/9#post-537425
See Randomex it's not only me!!! Thanks [SDD] you made me feel smarter :D
Well, he just wasn’t sure. He also has me dancing, which I’m sure I’ve never mentioned on the CR, and saying indecipherable…
Wait a minute. You said that too! Am I really that difficult to
understand? Can you post a (sigh, I certainly justify that one)
short list of incomprehensible things I’ve written?
(There were one or two no one was really meant to get…)
October 23, 2014 2:24 pm at 2:24 pm #1067267cozimjewishMember“YAY! Now that was worth creating this thread for!”
Wow that’s what I call a compliment! Thanks 😀
“Were you using
any specific works for inspiration?”
Yep, all the posts on the CR 😉 other than that, just my brain 🙂
Yes I know, and I realized that could be misunderstood. I meant that he was reassuring Letakein Girl (who PLEASE, have mercy on me, and tell me is a she…..!!!!!!) I wrote that coz of another thread, think it had something to do with the Shab. Project (no I don’t remember the URL off the top of my head like you!!! And cbb checking!! But in any case I am certain you know exactly what I am referring to!!)
“He also has me dancing, which I’m sure I’ve never mentioned on the CR”
I think that was in reference to your love of music
“Can you post a (sigh, I certainly justify that one)
short list of incomprehensible things I’ve written?”
Maybe another time when I am bored, hello, I don’t analyze EVERY post!!! You’re amazing you remember everything!! But I don’t, so posting a list would mean I’d havta go to your profile, read through user activity, look at everything you posted, then take out the ones I didn’t understand……
But maybe another time, although I’m sure someone else would do it for you in the meantime:) thanx for the cheer (again!)
P.S. I’m pretty sure PAA listed one on his report card thread, if you get what I mean (I’m sure you do 🙂 )
October 23, 2014 2:33 pm at 2:33 pm #1067268cozimjewishMemberBTW Randomex – woe was your other post about (the one with all the **)?? (For everyone else who doesn’t get it: “woe” stands for “what on earth”. I have no idea if it’s googleable. I could have made it up)
October 23, 2014 2:33 pm at 2:33 pm #1067269Patur Aval AssurParticipant“He knows the mod will just be like, “Umm….uh-huh”
And mark all his answers right….”
Until Randomex comes along and translates them and then everyone realizes that Patur Aval Assur is a charlatan, merely spewing Aramaic quotes that have no relevance to anything, but give the impression of being somewhat learned.
October 23, 2014 2:43 pm at 2:43 pm #1067270cozimjewishMember“merely spewing Aramaic quotes that have no relevance to anything, but give the impression of being somewhat learned.”
Precisely the point I was trying to make 😉
October 23, 2014 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm #1067271Patur Aval AssurParticipantRandomex:
Since I am not allowed to argue with you, I will re-post my story with citations showing what most of the material is based on:
Randomex walks into a bar.
http://theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/good-jokes/page/33#post-536580
He wants to steal less than a ??? ????? of beer. So he asks the guy next to him if it’s muttar. The guy responds in the affirmative. As Randomex reaches over to perform the act of thievery the Bartender shouts “you can’t rely on him (the guy that Randomex had asked) – he’s just DaasYochid.
As this is all happening PAA shows up. Randomex, who is now confused, says out loud “so what’s the halacha?” at the same time as DaasYochid confrontationally asks the newcomer “who are you?” The newcomer, ever the pragmatist, says “Patur Aval Assur”, thus answering both questions in one fell swoop.
DaasYochid says “you aren’t reliable either because you don’t learn iyun”.
PAA replies “I think we’ve been through this several times already”.
see previous
By now a whole crowd is gathered around waiting for someone to throw the first counterpunch.

So no one notices Popa Bar Abba sneaking behind the counter and drinking the place clean.
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/drunk-na-a-blazingf-skingk (but one of many examples)
To diffuse the tension, someone says “anyone have a joke?”
http://theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/good-jokes/page/33#post-536580
Popa, in his drunken stupor, says “I have a joke. Three retards walk into a bar…”
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/everybody-except-popa-is-retarded
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/popa-is-retarded-by-popa
???? ????
Before he can finish, the assembled mob attacks as one and hangs Popa by his ankles from the ceiling.
DaMoshe is called in to sing through the entire High Holy Days liturgy
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/yomim-noraim-davening
while Popa is forced to listen.
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/rosh-hashana-davening-in-bp
Meanwhile Randomex is feeling rather slighted. “Why is Popa always the center of attention?” he asks.
So in order to garner some attention for himself, Randomex goes on a crusade against people who continue threads from the ancient past.
pretty much every thread
In reality this is a cover for Randomex who spends all his waking hours reading threads that predate him.

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/name-that-tune/page/10#post-537724
As the crowd starts to disperse, DaasYochid points out that any gathering at which the Shidduch Catastrophe is not discussed is a Moshav Leitzim.
No one particular source, but based on the impression given by the aggregate of his shidduch-crisis-related comments
At this point Popa breaks free and responds that there is no shidduch catastrophe
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/jaccuse-nasi
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/why-r-rechnitz-is-incorrect
because he is already married to every single girl.
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/michlalah-personal-statement but one of the many discussions of Popa’s multiple wives
By now, everyone has already had enough, and the Moderator, seeing that things are about to get out of hand, presses “edit”
I don’t think I need a source for this one
and this whole story becomes “Why did PAA and Randomex cross the road?”
http://theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/good-jokes/page/33#post-536601
I think I have also shown that your question on my use of “counterpunch” is really a question on you for not getting the reference.
October 23, 2014 3:49 pm at 3:49 pm #1067272lamud vov tzadikParticipantHere’s my story.
Lamudvovniks walking down the street bumps straight into randomex, who happenes to be a Mrs and in comes Popa bar abba talking on his latest samsung galaxy or iPhone, whichever you prefer. Oh, Randomex if your not a lady, please let me know, I’m not trying to insult you. In comes DaasYochid driving a bus filled with Letaikin girl, Ywn Moderater100 and Ahavas Yisroel, scared driver delight is at at the back because he’s scared. Now the bus fills with everyone I’ve previously mentioned off to where? To a wedding between Letaikin girl and Popa bar abba!
October 23, 2014 3:53 pm at 3:53 pm #1067273screwdriverdelightParticipantEveryone is standing outside the UN when a reporter walks up and says, “What’s the oilam’s opinion on the current meat shortage in America?”
One clique, led by Yekke 2, is like “What’s our opinion? Huh???”
Pixelate says it indicates Moshiach’s imminent arrival, and PAA hands the reporter huge piles of sources, with all the merits and arguments of Pixelate’s theory.
I try flashing my PhD badge to the reporter, but I’m drowned out by Lord Voldemort (Duke V)’s loud proclomations that the shortage actually started in England, and the shortage in America is nothing compared to what it is in England.
Sidi says this is a dumb question. And tons of people point out that it’s not even current, and the reporter just decided to bump an old issue. So I take out the dictionary and check up, “current”
Health says it’s better this way, because…need I finish the sentence? Oh, and it will keep mad cows out of the USA.
PBA and CharlieHall debate if it’s really a shortage and what the statistics suggest.
Randomex has been making several attempts to voice his opinion, in as many fonts possible in the verbal language, but mods have their hands over his mouth. Finally he breaks free and says something, I don’t know what, and I don’t think CIJ knows what either, but she LOLs anyway. (Okay, I’ll admit, it did sound funny.)
Eftach just stands there, smiling. It’s all too predictable.
Suddenly, over the din, the reporter shuffles his papers and says, “wait a second I forgot…this connects to this week’s parsha, because that’s when animal consumption became permitted for mankind.” And, just like that, the question takes on a whole new meaning.
October 23, 2014 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm #1067274screwdriverdelightParticipantPAA, 5 thumbs up.
Lamed Vov, was that the result of your first kaballah session?
October 23, 2014 4:53 pm at 4:53 pm #1067275Patur Aval AssurParticipant“PAA, 5 thumbs up.”
For the story, or for the citations?
October 23, 2014 5:06 pm at 5:06 pm #1067276screwdriverdelightParticipantThe story w/o the citations would not have been as funny, so both.
October 23, 2014 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm #1067277Patur Aval AssurParticipantJust to clarify, you know I wrote the story about a month and a half ago, right?
October 23, 2014 5:24 pm at 5:24 pm #1067279screwdriverdelightParticipantNope.
October 23, 2014 5:51 pm at 5:51 pm #1067280Patur Aval AssurParticipantGo back to the first post in this thread and click on the word “this” which is a link to the original story (and you can see the context in which it arose).
Good thing I clarified.

Now I have what to write about when I’m bored next english class…
But I’m outta the loop of jokes and stuff so, I think I’ll stick to serials and making people laugh…
I’m SHOCKED PAA that I was not included? C’mon? Seriosuly?
October 23, 2014 7:18 pm at 7:18 pm #1067282Patur Aval AssurParticipant“I’m SHOCKED PAA that I was not included? C’mon? Seriosuly?”
I apologize, but at the time when I wrote it, it was in a specific context and all the characters in the story were my interlocutors, (except for Damoshe, who I only brought in because it related to Popa) and as far as I know I have not yet merited to argue with you about anything. The story was actually just supposed to be about Randomex and me, and DaasYochid was the one whose idea it was and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to make Popa the bad guy.
October 23, 2014 8:00 pm at 8:00 pm #1067283☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantand DaasYochid was the one whose idea it was

October 24, 2014 1:22 am at 1:22 am #1067285SayIDidIt™ParticipantNow this is an interesting thread!

How about if I give you one from him instead?
By the way, language is not related to intelligence – it is a matter of knowledge.

How is that an example of
“used language/conveyed an idea/theory beyond the scope of average human intelligence”? I actually learned the word “emoticon” in that thread.
“By the way, language is not related to intelligence – it is a matter of knowledge.”
Which is why I don’t get why there is a vocabulary section on IQ tests.
October 24, 2014 2:17 pm at 2:17 pm #1067292eftachbchinorMemberPAA- I just read your story (without clicking on the links) and this thread. My mouth is hanging open. Like this: 0.
October 24, 2014 3:42 pm at 3:42 pm #1067293lamud vov tzadikParticipantTo Sdd (Lamud vov what was the result of your first Kabbalah session?)
Yeh! It went really well. I was a bit disappointed that it was only me and my chavrusa (can you guess who that was?!) but yes I’m beginning to get a big interest in Kabbalah, and Sdd you can join any time you wish!
October 24, 2014 3:47 pm at 3:47 pm #1067294Patur Aval AssurParticipantMany years later…
Randomex is now the Chief Curator of the Library of Congress. Eftachbechinor decides to take her class on a field trip to visit him in his natural habitat. As the bus arrives at the school, and the bus driver steps down, a collective gasp is heard from the assembled students. The bus driver is indeed a sight to behold. He is wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and “his face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy
mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard”. In his hand he is holding the largest tankard anyone has ever seen. “I’m Popa Bar Abba, and this is Sally, my seventh Bus. She has semicha.” Eftach quickly hustles the kids aboard. The bus ride is rather long, and the kids are getting restless. In the back row, sirvoddmort and yekke2 are vociferously debating the advantages of a faster broom vs. a more maneuverable broom, until they realize that it’s an exercise in futility since the existence of the snitch is a vitiation of the entire sport of Quidditch. What with all the noise, Shopping613 is having trouble concentrating on the chapter she is writing, and also doesn’t realize that SayIdidIt is reading over her shoulder and putting the story on twitter before Shopping has a chance to even finish it.
But eventually, the bus reaches its destination, and the class egresses. Popa walks up and down the bus collecting DNA left behind, for some nefarious plan of his.
And then it happens. Randomex is sighted. Cozimjewish immediately breaks free of the group, and runs toward him. Randomex bellows “I am Randomex, the Great and Powerful, who are you?” To which Cozimjewish responds “I am Cozimjewish, small and meek. Can I have your autograph?”
Randomex chuckles to himself and then says, “If you want my autograph you have to earn it.” He then proceeds to regale the class with stories of his heroic escapades against his arch-nemesis Patur Aval Assur. “But alas,” he continues “PAA has not been completely defeated yet. His last known whereabouts are somewhere in the middle east, where he went to try to find someone who talks in Aramaic. If you can best him, then I will gladly give you my autograph.”
Lamud Vov Tzadik pipes up and says “If she bests PAA, she should be giving you her autograph.” Randomex turns away and walks off.
Cozimjewish sets out on the mission to defeat PAA. When she is nearly there, she bumps into Writersoul who decides to come along for the climactic event. When they arrive, PAA says “???? ??(?) ???????”. While Cozimjewish fires off a text to Randomex to figure out what she is supposed to answer, PAA asks “Cognitive Man vs. Homo Religiosis – who would win?” Writersoul immediately responds “Well you see, it’s really just a dialectical tension – you have your thesis, antithesis, and then synthesis, so the question never really starts.” PAA responds that in the original Hebrew it wouldn’t actually make sense, so they agree to disagree, and PAA agrees to appear before Randomex.
“That was all 22 years ago”, Oomis concludes the tale to her grandchildren. “And PAA and Randomex haven’t moved since then; they are arguing about something or another and still going strong.”
THE END

There’s a difference. You are the self-appointed Indexer Extraordinaire Par Excellence.
And Grammar Knight of the Emerald Sword. I’ll be using your quote, by the way – can you find my Report Card?
It’s as if arrogant.
(That’s not a taunt about your confusion in the other thread – I wrote it before I saw that post, and possibly before you put it up.)
So you’re saying that actually, you were awaiting the day when I would acknowledge that it goes both ways?
Actually, I was already going to post asking if this was an admission, but I hadn’t gone through everything thoroughly yet (and in fact I still haven’t):
Until Randomex comes along and translates them and then everyone realizes that Patur Aval Assur is a charlatan, merely spewing Aramaic quotes that have no relevance to anything, but give the impression of being somewhat learned.

That’s true, but that link is to a specific post in which you used the word “aposiopesis,” which I had to Google to make sure it wasn’t one of your invented words that you’d forgotten to put on the list.
Which is why I don't get why there is a vocabulary section on IQ tests.
Indeed puzzling. Perhaps it is assumed that a certain level of intelligence would cause a person to have learned certain words in a given environment? It still doesn’t seem right.
Not to mention “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?,” which as Wikipedia says “is essentially a test to see how much an adult has retained since graduating elementary school.”

October 24, 2014 4:33 pm at 4:33 pm #1067297RandomexMemberPatur Aval Assur, I grant you a Knighthood of the Emerald Sword!
Not that this exempts the story from criticism…
Will you be posting an ArtScroll version of this one, too?

October 24, 2014 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm #1067301RandomexMemberHow could I neglect to translate “???? ??(?) ???????” ?
It’s “[Master/Mister]/Mistress should sit on the carpet,” spoken in an antagonistic tone (as per ArtScroll’s translation of Rashi on Bereishis 27:22, assuming the rules of expression are the same in Aramaic as in Hebrew).
October 24, 2014 9:20 pm at 9:20 pm #1067302Patur Aval AssurParticipantIn The context which I borrowed it from, Rashi translates it as “????” which would be some type of bench. And in that context, I don’t think it was said antagonistically. See Kiddushin 70a.
