Or are we up to # 5? Either way, nothing draws the old timers like a GS thread.
Nu, vus iz neiz? I see that several of you are semi-active on other threads, so I know you’re out there, just maybe not in a fighting, biting, eye-gouging mood, so you’re staying away from the mud-fests.
So? What’s new?
January 10, 2012 6:46 pm at 6:46 pm #1217293🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantHI!!! What a nice break/surprise. Did you bring pictures of the kids?
January 10, 2012 7:09 pm at 7:09 pm #1217294TheGoqParticipantI got a “floating pen” for chanukah its a pen with a magnetic base the pen stands straight up in the air i thought it was neat.
January 10, 2012 11:38 pm at 11:38 pm #1217295bptParticipantPics? Pens? No, I got none of those. But I did manage to spend some time outdoors over the “days off” we had recently.
Wow, do I miss the summer!
Speaking of pens, did you know the humble Bic pen is considered a “modern design” and is the focus of a MOMA forum. Go figure?
January 10, 2012 11:57 pm at 11:57 pm #1217296yossi z.MemberHey, thanks bpt! Nothing like a good ol’ shmooze to brighten things up. 🙂
I miss those CR days. I think all I spent my time on back then was the GS, the mazal tov thread, maybe hangman, and pretty much the socializing threads.
January 11, 2012 2:33 am at 2:33 am #1217297kapustaParticipantGoq, can I try the pen? Sounds cool.
For the old-timers (and newish-timers) here, a CR trivia thread would be fun.

January 11, 2012 3:18 am at 3:18 am #1217299🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantHi Kapusta! Long time no read. I keep thinking I can stop signing in, since I come here to procrastinate sometimes, but other times I can’t talk myself out of it. And now to find such a distinguished crowd all in one room, I couldn’t resist.
January 11, 2012 4:37 am at 4:37 am #1217300TheGoqParticipantKapusta sure you can use it, the pen is nothing special but the concept is kinda cool actually this one is made by totes the umbrella company.
January 11, 2012 5:03 am at 5:03 am #1217301kapustaParticipantLol! I’m rather honored to be addressed by name in that post, btw.
And in this case I’m happy you couldn’t resist. 🙂
January 11, 2012 6:39 am at 6:39 am #1217303YW Moderator-42ModeratorAye aye General!
January 11, 2012 7:48 am at 7:48 am #1217304TheGoqParticipantSorry 42 Aye is a naval term and there are no generals in the navy.
January 11, 2012 1:53 pm at 1:53 pm #1217305🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantGoq – Those pens are so cool. I used to have a picture frame that floated like that.
January 11, 2012 3:00 pm at 3:00 pm #1217306popa_bar_abbaParticipantFor the old-timers (and newish-timers) here, a CR trivia thread would be fun.
Trivia threads are no fun, because people just make stuff up.
January 11, 2012 3:12 pm at 3:12 pm #1217307bptParticipant” How many years must one be here in order to join “
Unlike the outside world, in the CR, numbers (age, shoe size, $$$) matter very little.
All you need to join the fray is an idea or topic that is worthy of discussion. The quackier the better.
January 11, 2012 5:34 pm at 5:34 pm #1217308Shticky GuyParticipantFor the old-timers (and newish-timers) here, a CR trivia thread would be fun.

January 12, 2012 4:07 am at 4:07 am #1217309kapustaParticipantKapusta sure you can use it,
Thanks. Just googled, looks cool.
Trivia threads are no fun, because people just make stuff up.
Which people, exactly?
Your wish is my command, kapusta!
Wow! Before I even asked! Gotta get it going now… (And some non-stalker friendly stuff would be fun too.)
January 12, 2012 6:36 pm at 6:36 pm #1217310blinkyParticipantSometimes i feel like the general schmooze threads are an open invitaion for me to pop in…lol!
As for vusizneis- a sibling got married recently b”h:)
January 12, 2012 11:49 pm at 11:49 pm #1217311bptParticipant” an open invitaion for me to pop in “.
I knew this would get your attention. I was going to post a “hello” on the lymerics thread, but did not have a lymeric, so this was plan B.
Mazel tov on your sib’s marraige. IYH by you, as well!
January 13, 2012 2:26 am at 2:26 am #1217312blinkyParticipant“I did not have a limerick”
Thats no excuse! If I remember correctly you had some good ones awhile back…
And thanks, Amen!
January 13, 2012 3:43 am at 3:43 am #1217313🍫Syag LchochmaParticipant(A little too much poetic license on the syllabic accents)
I tried to think up a good limerick,
I worked so hard it almost made me sick,
So I started to think,
How else can I reach Blink?
Then I figured the schmooze would get him real quick.
January 13, 2012 4:17 am at 4:17 am #1217314January 14, 2012 10:45 pm at 10:45 pm #1217315Shticky GuyParticipantTrivia threads are no fun, because people just make things up.

Ignore him, kapusta. Its just poppa making things up…
January 17, 2012 10:41 pm at 10:41 pm #1217316bptParticipantAlways runs – Are you checking this thread? If you are, please post a note (or if a re-direct from another thread by another member can be posted, that would be much appreciated)
January 19, 2012 11:28 pm at 11:28 pm #1217317bptParticipantBump
March 6, 2012 10:38 pm at 10:38 pm #1217318blinkyParticipantbpt- Didnt want to hijack the hashgacha pratis thread, but i saw your remark about Lois Lane….it sounds vaguely familliar but its been so long I forgot the joke with it! lol
March 7, 2012 6:26 pm at 6:26 pm #1217319bptParticipantI forgot the way it evolved, but essentially, it was something along the lines that, at some point in time, CR members are bound to cross paths in real life, but since we don’t necessarily show our “true” selves in the real world, we might “seem familar” to one another, but we will not quite make the connetion.
Kind of the way Lois Lane and Clark Kent interacted with each other. (I picked Lois Lane, because Oomis and I are from the same era, so the joke was an inside one)
So in the future, when someone I meet in the real world has a funny reaction to the name Lois Lane, I’ll have to wonder: coincidence? Or is it Oomis?
February 20, 2017 1:34 pm at 1:34 pm #1217320JosephParticipantMod, what was the prubleim with the umos haolam thread?
February 20, 2017 2:31 pm at 2:31 pm #1217321hujuParticipantGeneral Shmooze was Trump’s second choice for National Security Adviser. He was ultimately rejected because he talks to the media too much.
February 20, 2017 2:45 pm at 2:45 pm #1217322Lilmod UlelamaidParticipantThe moderators were probably concerned that you were being oiver on “lo Sichaneim”. 🙂
February 20, 2017 5:36 pm at 5:36 pm #1217323TheGoqParticipanthuju very funny!, I don’t think i still have that pen must of floated away
February 20, 2017 5:43 pm at 5:43 pm #1217324YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorMaybe it’s just me but I don’t see the benefit of pulling reprints of controversial, difficult to understand and often off-putting concepts out there with no context or personal face to face ability to know your audience or answer their questions. I am disturbed by what your motive for such could possibly be, but knowing the damage it can/does bring, I prefer to err on the side of caution.
Torah is Torah, but good teachers will tell you that not everything can be taught to everyone at any time. Especially online. Why you insist and what you get out of it is beyond me.
And that is besides the point that most of it is already online with open discussions. Why not just join them and come back for the other stuff?
Thanks for asking, by the way but I think we have had this discussion before…
February 20, 2017 5:58 pm at 5:58 pm #1217325JosephParticipantWhat reprint and what was off-putting about a Rav Chaim Vital or a Tanya? What I quoted from them is taught in Yeshivas to 9 year olds starting in 3rd grade.
And where online is that discussed? I haven’t seen it in other discussion boards.
February 20, 2017 6:13 pm at 6:13 pm #1217326Lilmod UlelamaidParticipantReprinted from where? From the CR or another website?
February 20, 2017 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm #1217327rebshidduchParticipantThe shmuz as in rabbi shafier shmuz # 6?
February 21, 2017 3:00 am at 3:00 am #1217328LightbriteParticipantMaybe it’s Groundhog Day.
