January 21, 2009 7:20 pm at 7:20 pm #643722YW Moderator-72Participantwith great trepidation I am approving this thread. Please, please, please people STAY on topic! No walnuts, no brazil nuts, no almonds, no pecans… and certainly no peanuts!
January 21, 2009 7:21 pm at 7:21 pm #643723syriansephardiMemberthen this convo is going nowhere……..ask ur rabbi
January 21, 2009 7:23 pm at 7:23 pm #643724havesomeseichelMemberASK your LOR (sorry, couldnt help myself). Why not smash them with a hammer, can opener or other large and heavy item?
January 21, 2009 7:24 pm at 7:24 pm #643725feivelParticipantmr 72
never in my life have i written LOL, and im not going to make an exception now, but had i wanted to, i could have, in pure Emes.
January 21, 2009 7:33 pm at 7:33 pm #643726smartcookieMemberwhat a boring thread. sorry. sometimes u just have to use ur own judgement instead of asking pple. thank you.
January 21, 2009 7:39 pm at 7:39 pm #643727feivelParticipantseichel
because its a big tircha, and a mess, and an appropriate item might not be available.

January 21, 2009 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm #643729charlie brownMembermod 72,

January 21, 2009 7:49 pm at 7:49 pm #643730areivimzehlazehParticipantfeivel- WHAT has gotten into you
January 21, 2009 7:55 pm at 7:55 pm #643731moish01Membercharlie, actually my mom told me that there’s a call-back on peanut products. they found links to salmonella or something. sorry, charlie!

January 21, 2009 8:06 pm at 8:06 pm #643733feivelParticipantareiv:
well
i was eating some pistachios and the question occurred to me.
obviously i posted it for the humorous side, but in truth i think its an interesting Halachic question, what are the parameters of bal tachkis?
not unlike the questions the Gemorrah often poses to elucidate details.
any one learning Daf Yomi will be aware of, just this week:
1. the rooster, the rope and the pail
2. the dog, the cookie, the fire and the haystack.
3. goats jumping and falling off roofs
4. roosters screaming into glass vessels
5. chickens hopping around with items tied to their legs
6. camels rubbing fire along the entire perimeter of a mansion.
and coming up, today i think: people taking snakes and jamming their fangs into someone to kill him.
a dog biting someone and the owner of the dog claiming in his defense: “what was your arm doing in my dog’s mouth?
etc
January 21, 2009 8:12 pm at 8:12 pm #643734moish01Membernice, RY
January 21, 2009 8:15 pm at 8:15 pm #643735JosephParticipantsqueak will surely get a good chuckle, but truly, this shaila makes one cry out – mi k’amchu yisroel! never would a prusta goy worry about baal tashchis, and certainly not to this extent.
January 21, 2009 8:23 pm at 8:23 pm #643736charlie brownMemberrosh yeshiva,
you can’t go nuts if you were never normal to begin with.
moish,
I am certified salmonella free.
January 21, 2009 8:25 pm at 8:25 pm #643737oomisParticipantsave the uncrackable ones, and give them to someone who owns a nutcracker.
January 21, 2009 8:27 pm at 8:27 pm #643738moish01MemberPROOF! PROOF! PROOF! i want you to PROVE that you’re salmonella free. and certified by who? oh sorry, that’s not my rav!
January 21, 2009 8:32 pm at 8:32 pm #643739feivelParticipantjoseph, clearly again you show how you think like someone who loves Hashem and his children
oomis, excellent answer
January 21, 2009 8:34 pm at 8:34 pm #643740charlie brownMemberoops again! wow, that’s my third oops in one day! I didn’t mean to say feivel was never normal, I misread rosh yeshiva and thought he was telling moish that I was recalled because I went nuts and I was responding that I was never normal. Sorry feivel.
January 21, 2009 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm #643741Itzik_sMemberBS”D
Return the uncrackable ones to the store for a refund (if you buy them by weight).
January 21, 2009 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm #643742squeakParticipantJust like we used to send our leftovers from supper to the poor starving people in Africa rather than throw them out!
January 21, 2009 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm #643743areivimzehlazehParticipantthis is a completely CRACKED out thread- but fun. Just picture a goy stumbling upon this topic in the CR- what a laugh!
January 21, 2009 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm #643744charlie brownMembersqueak,
we must be brothers!!! My mother also used to send our leftovers to Africa.
January 22, 2009 12:17 am at 12:17 am #643745squeakParticipantchuck, we ARE brothers. I’d know your humor anywhere.
January 22, 2009 12:28 am at 12:28 am #643746moish01Memberhey has that ever happened? that siblings or close friends found each other on here by accident? that would be really funny.
We had an uncle/niece reunion. YW Moderator-72
Um, didn’t we have some cousins using the same laptop find each other once? 🙂 YW Moderator-42
January 22, 2009 12:44 am at 12:44 am #643747syriansephardiMemberMod 72: How was there an uncle neice reunion if no personal info is allowed to be posted?!
January 22, 2009 1:52 am at 1:52 am #643748moish01Memberha ha moderator42 – that one doesn’t count because she knew who i was and i knew she was on here somewhere – i just didn’t know which one
January 22, 2009 2:00 am at 2:00 am #643749beaconParticipantUm, didn’t we have some cousins using the same laptop find each other once?
Lol they must have been real surprised about that..
January 22, 2009 2:07 am at 2:07 am #643750asdfghjklParticipanti love peanuts!!!
charlie brown: i see you’re using my !!!! all over the place today!!!!
January 22, 2009 2:30 am at 2:30 am #643751YW Moderator-72Participantsyriansephardi,
good question. as you know, we do not allow personal information to be posted. In this case, based on the some of the more “vanilla” type of self information that was provided a family insider would be able to figure it out whereas the rest of us would not.
January 22, 2009 2:38 am at 2:38 am #643752syriansephardiMemberOooh got it 😉
January 22, 2009 2:40 am at 2:40 am #643753syriansephardiMemberHey mod 72 u were actually nice to me for once!!
January 22, 2009 3:12 am at 3:12 am #643754squeakParticipantso chuck, am I gonna see you at Chevy’s kiddush?
January 22, 2009 3:21 am at 3:21 am #643755syriansephardiMemberAnd mods and everyone out there: moish and brooklyn are around the same age…if u get what I’m saying
January 22, 2009 3:32 am at 3:32 am #643756beaconParticipantOh now I get 42’s reference..
January 22, 2009 3:46 am at 3:46 am #643757moish01Membersyriansephardi – no we’re not!
January 22, 2009 4:07 am at 4:07 am #643759syriansephardiMemberOk I think the mods deleted my post bc they thought I was trying to get info out of u (which I’m not!!)
But moish, yes u r!
January 22, 2009 4:37 am at 4:37 am #643760moish01Memberi’m only 16. she’s older than me by quite a few years. yeah there isn’t a 10 year age gap, but she’s not my age.
January 22, 2009 6:01 am at 6:01 am #643761syriansephardiMemberMoish come on, only 16?!?! Nah!! Ur older!!
January 22, 2009 6:10 am at 6:10 am #643763moish01Memberha! how old did you think i was?
January 22, 2009 7:27 am at 7:27 am #643764PMMemberPardon my returning to the original question. It is mutar to throw them away, and I am a LOR although not necessarily yours.
January 22, 2009 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm #643768SJSinNYCMemberPardon my returning to the original question. It is mutar to throw them away, and I am a LOR although not necessarily yours.
This reminds me of a time when someone asked me something and I gave them an answer (it wasn’t a halachic issue) and I followed it up by saying “Says Rabbi <insert my last name here>” – it took them a moment to catch on 🙂
January 22, 2009 5:49 pm at 5:49 pm #643769charlie brownMemberSqueak,
I don’t think you’ve ever posted a serious post here, but in case you were serious that you think we’re brothers, it doesn’t seem that way. I don’t know who Chevy is and I’m not going to any kiddush that I know of this week. It would be really funny though if 2 posters here were actually siblings or parents and children.
January 22, 2009 6:14 pm at 6:14 pm #643770areivimzehlazehParticipantcharlie- you were supposed to play along…
January 22, 2009 6:42 pm at 6:42 pm #643771charlie brownMemberareivim,
yeah, I should have. It would have been funny if I had, and then squeak would have called his brother charlie brown at the kiddush and his brother would have thought he lost his mind. Oh well.
January 22, 2009 6:58 pm at 6:58 pm #643772feivelParticipantthank you PM
January 22, 2009 7:01 pm at 7:01 pm #643773smh1Memberwhy not throw them to the squirrels? I’m sure they would enjoy the treat, esp. now with so much snow!!!
PS Can’t believe there are 44 or so posts to a thread of pistacio nuts.
January 22, 2009 7:10 pm at 7:10 pm #643775feivelParticipantgreat idea sm
i spend some time watching squirrels and trying to appreciate their wonders. about time for some payback
January 22, 2009 7:27 pm at 7:27 pm #643776SJSinNYCMemberPS Can’t believe there are 44 or so posts to a thread of pistacio nuts.
Thats because we are all nuts and can relate to the topic. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the longest thread 🙂
Incidentally, peanuts are not really NUTS.
