Thank you 26.
It would be most chivalrous of him to accept, rather than to allow some innocent young lady be beheaded in his stead!
Why do you assume innocent?
that’s why I refuse to accept. The means dont justify the ends… (I used the word ‘means’ wrong but you’ll understand anyways)
I think we should take this up elsewhere. I see the mod shaking his creased forhead back and forth again.
wasn’t Joseph already king?
After his beheading, you can safely take the helm.
what is this i hear of stripping kapusta of her queenly title? after all her majesty has done to keep the CR alive and kicking?! -sniff sniff- kapusta, i share in your pain.
nurse, I agree with you 100%. And thank you for writing the truth. 🙂

NY Mom-
“LeiderLeider…You are definitely in serious competition with the Captain of Quips!“
We’re all on the same side – the more the merrier.
“I think the Kernel of Corn makes more sense.“
Sounds good to me: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/post-of-the-year-contest/page/3#post-67535
Kapusta: Thank you. I was merely inspired by the company.
ICOT: Obviously, great minds think alike 🙂
But I admit, I am not yet in your league.
NY Mom-
Thank you, but we’re all in the same league – join the fun.
Posters “oomis1105” and “The Wolf” had an exchange you may enjoy in this thread: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/half-a-cow
ICOT: I stand corrected.
I should have written “serious ‘competition'” (putting it in quotes), because of course it’s all in good fun.
It is good to be sensitive to nuances like that in Elul.
By the way, “Nuance” is another fun word. I’m sure we could use it, but nothing good coming to me at the moment.
And I did check out that thread. Very punny stuff there! Thanks 🙂
“Nuance”
The ladies that replaced the old aunts.
Shibboleth – N., from Hebrew: any distinguishing practice which is indicative of one’s social or regional origin. It usually refers to features of language, and particularly to a word whose pronunciation identifies its speaker as being a member or not a member of a particular group.
(following from wikipedia):
Gilead then cut Ephraim off from the fords of the Jordan, and whenever Ephraimite fugitives said, ‘Let me cross,’ the men of Gilead would ask, ‘Are you an Ephraimite?’ If he said, ‘No,’ they then said, ‘Very well, say Shibboleth.’ If anyone said, ‘Sibboleth’, because he could not pronounce it, then they would seize him and kill him by the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell on this occasion.
Let’s keep ’em coming!
