So Popa, I just spent night Seder at the Peterson Park Kollel. Were you there? Oh yeah, you said you’re not coming back till Wednesday. Are you still scheduled to return to our windy city tomorrow?
midwesterner:
writing for yated doesnt bore u enough or did they lay u off
ok, sitting here and reading this i just cant just keep quiet.
Gefen, im glad you enjoyed the cake.
Midwesterner, Doesn’t Yedidim have a name?? BTW, thanx for coming by tonight!
PBA, i too live south of peterson and im deff. not a telsher, though when im not crazy busy with work i usually learn there during 2nd seder
A shofar sounds like a New Yorker driving behind a Chicagoan.
mak;- three cheers for that one!!!
Chicagoans when you hear some toooooooooooooooing behind you while driving your car, you’ll just know it’s popa with his shofar blozen… lol:)
midwesterner – ya gotta find out who popa is!!
Every shul in chicago should call up “popa bar abba” for shlishi this shabbos. See if he’s willing to risk not coming up.
good one squeak! but they should call him up for glila. 🙂
popa- that’s it i’m coming to get you! i will be at the kollel learning tonight watching for an unfamiliar face. u will be able to find me by looking for the only female there hiding behind a gemara, pretending to learn. if you see me before i see you, come over and introduce urself. sit and learn with me. i bet no one will know a thing. (i’ll put on a hat just in case)
and btw, you are so against chicagoans, but all the ppl who you deal with (seems like ur in the kollel a lot) just recently (within the last two years) moved here from lakewood! oh well, there goes that theory! just how many true chicagoans are you dealing with?
mak & squeak 😉
midwesterner, let’s make a big “welcome back popa” sign to hang on the kollel building, and have your wife bake a cake, walk in and say “this is for papa! where is popa?” who would refuse cake?
sem20 – thanks for putting my son’s name in the journal – that was so nice. he loved helping out!
midwesterener – don’t forget to tell ur wife what i said about her cake – YUMMY!
Popa, Ill risk it :p
popa – try Rabbi Twerski on Pratt. Great place!
jlk: Well, why don’t you buy the paper this week and see if I’m there!
Sem 20: Yes Yedidim has a name. And if you live south of Peterson, you probably know it. After all, its on his license plate! And will I see you this afternoon? BTW, what makes one a Telzer that seems to offend so many people on this thread? If you’re there second seder, doesn’t that mean you’re part of the team? Unless, of course you yourself are Yedidim! Then I understand why you don’t call yourself a Telzer . . . yet.
mak: Good one!
Yummy: Have you had my wife’s yummy cupcakes? You know they can also be found in the aformentioned Yated!
Gefen: She saw your comment. She’s following this thread as well. And I actually saw your son at the “Car Show” last night.
And to Popa: The gauntlet has been thrown down. We’ll see what we can come up with.
maybe I missed sth… who’s Ushi??
Ushy is the original founder of the shul now known as Or Yisocher-Chodorov.
my husband was one of the original ppl to go to bais ushy. but midwesterner, i guess u know that already.
yummy cupcake should try ur wife’s yummy cupcakes, right?
we also do know yedidim’s name. but i’ll keep it a secret here.
hello midwesterner’s wife – how are you?
What on earth happened to this thread???
….and how did it end up in Chicago??
Well, we settled the original issue. We all now know what a shofar sounds like. So why not?
BaalHabooze, you are obv not from chicago.
wow Popa – thanks for that helpful info! now u really gave urself away!
mak,
not yet I’m not, but if Popa moves there…
Popa: I will do the same. That will then be the secret code how we identify each other!!
How about we hold a Chicago (or visitors)coffee room reunion tonight??
dont all answer at once 🙂
sem20 – where and what time? and what are you serving? i know – midwesterner’s wife’s cake 🙂
I’m in! give me a time and place!
popa- Do you need a ride from the airport? I’m available.
shallots? greatch? nah skip the food, im on a diet. Dave and buster? Navy pair? Time 8ish
How about the Telshe Bais Medrash? Or better yet, the dorms? ha ha
Never mind, we wouldn’t want to exclude the girls.
A beer
Get a Kobe steak. It’s delicious and “very healthy” and don’t forget to hit the bar. I go there often and it’s a great place. By the way what made you pick Shallots? (just out of curiosity)
This is Midwesterner’s wife:
How about Popa, Gefen and sem20 (and some others) all have a coffee reunion at Shallots?
Anyway, too busy with meetings to have fun going out.
Does anyone out there have a life beyond the coffee room? Some of us actually work for a living 🙂 (Oops, actually sem20 worked quite hard last night. Yasher koach on your hard work!)
PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m there!!!!!!!!!
I will Im Yeretz Hashem be at Shallots tomorrow night at seven.
midwesterners wife – i actually do have a job. just don’t tell anyone that sometimes (only sometimes) i post from work. but usually i post from home – instead of making dinner, cleaning up, etc. 😉
you ask if anyone here has a life outside the coffee room. um…… actually this place is kind of addictive. but yeah – i guess i have other things to do. like maybe decide what to make for yom tov.
Mrs. Midwesterner, thanx for the recognition that i actually work 🙂 Btw, were you there last night? Was anyone else in the CR by the Gesher dinner last night?
So tomorrow when I’m Shallots what am I looking for? Are you going to be with a few people or just one? Are you tall or short?
onegoal, ur a guy? i didn’t know that! and from chicago yet!
hmm – tomorrow night at Shallots? maybe instead of spending family time on the cr – we’ll spend it at shallots. sounds good to me. we’ll be there. can’t wait to meet u popa and whoever else from cr is coming.
midwesterner and mrs. midwesterner – chaplaintzvi says hi and he loved the cake too. come on and join everyone at shallots – surely you can take some time off for a little get together. right?
popa – did u see yummy cupcake at the kollel tonight? did she do a good job of hiding behind the gemara? did you learn with her?
im tempted to come to shallots tomorrow night, just to see who the famous PBA is, but its terrible timing!!!
