Now that he is safely on the road again, I can say to the previous posters that questioned the truth of the entire story, that Popa WAS indeed in Chicago, and we did end up meeting. Fine and interesting gentleman he is. We have shared email addresses, and I was actually able to make a connection for him!
September 25, 2011 9:18 pm at 9:18 pm #832839popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat is indeed so.
And thank you midwesterner. Who is indeed a telsher, and so is justified in living south of peterson.
September 25, 2011 9:47 pm at 9:47 pm #832840✡onegoal™ParticipantWow I’m in Lakewood and I Miss popa! That stinks.
September 25, 2011 10:44 pm at 10:44 pm #832841yummy cupcakeMemberOMG!!!!!!!!!! i am so jealous midwesterner!!!!!! you got to meet the esteemed pba!!!!!!!!!!! nuh uh!!!!!!! that’s crazy!!!!! popa, when are you coming back????????? i wanna meet you too! (maybe i’ll just get ur email address from midwesterner)
September 25, 2011 11:31 pm at 11:31 pm #832842midwesternerParticipantThis is Midwesterner’s wife:
So glad all’s well that ends well.
I have some serious questions:
1. What indeed is the sound of the shofar?
2. What was the point of the question to begin with?
3. How did it ever end up on a chase of Popa?
Btw, please don’t waste any more time answering it. They are somewhat rhetorical.
A gut yahr to everyone (whether they are in Chicago, Boston, or wherever!)

This began as a valid rant. All the kids are taught that a shofar sounds like “Tooooo”, when in fact, there is no “T” sound at all in a shofar blast. I would like to amend all the childrens’ songs.
September 26, 2011 3:25 am at 3:25 am #832845ChupMemberGo for it Popa!
September 26, 2011 3:54 am at 3:54 am #832846midwesternerParticipantOk, Popa, you asked for it. (I first have to admit still Midwesterner’s wife, who is 2 lazy to make my own account but don’t want Midwesterner to be blamed for my shtuyos)
Onomatopoeias don’t always make sense.
Do frogs really ‘croak’,
do roosters really scream ‘cockadoodle doo’
and when was the last time your house or certainly not your cell phone said ‘ring’? (With today’s tunes, there would be no global ring tone to describe them.)
Did you ever actually hear thunder say ‘crash’?
And does rain really sound like ‘drip, drop’?
So you’d have to rewrite all the children’s books as well!
And as I type I don’t hear ‘clicking’ of the keyboard either.
So there 🙂
September 26, 2011 4:04 am at 4:04 am #832847gefenParticipantmidwesterner’s wife – good point. btw – i think u should get your own screen name – here’s an original name for you “midwesterner’s wife” 🙂
popa – when’s ur next trip to chicago? can midwesterner give us ur email address?
actually, my daughters and i were right near starbucks at a few minutes after 4. we figured you had probably left already. we looked around to see if anyone frum would walk out of the store but didn’t see anyone. oh well! i should have told u to meet us in dressbarn. (maybe you could have brought home something nice for your wife).

methinks poppa hasn’t set foot in Chicago recently but still got all the chicagonians to run around town looking for him and reveal their identities here in the CR. Pretty cool. Joseph would be jealous. 🙂

hmm, so we now have 2 choices: either that Poppa (who btw misspells his name as Popa) is actually a sock puppet for midwesterner (or vs versa) or that I was choshed bikshairim and owe Poppa a bracha. Being that its 3 days before the Yom Hadin I don’t want to take the risk of assuming the former so I’ll wish Poppa much hatzlacha in his parnassa (and everything else) and that he should never have to sit in Starbucks selling MLMs.
September 26, 2011 3:01 pm at 3:01 pm #832851popa_bar_abbaParticipantShkoyach! Amen!
September 26, 2011 3:29 pm at 3:29 pm #832852charlie brownMemberPoppa, as a reward for the bracha can I also be let in on the secret of who in the world is popa bar abba?
and you didn’t respond about the spelling of your name…
September 26, 2011 3:31 pm at 3:31 pm #832853midwesternerParticipantShkoyach! Amen!
Oh, sorry, I just said that! If I’m Popa, that is. Or am I really me?
I think, therefore I don’t know who I am!!
September 26, 2011 3:57 pm at 3:57 pm #832854charlie brownMembermidwesterner,
your confusion is completely normal. Its been decided already that everyone has some Joseph and some Poppa in them. You don’t need to figure out who you are, just how much Poppa you have in you.
I hope this helps.
September 26, 2011 5:35 pm at 5:35 pm #832855midwesternerParticipantI betcha Charlie Hall doesn’t think he has any Joseph in him!
September 26, 2011 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm #832856sem20Memberoyoyoy!
September 26, 2011 6:34 pm at 6:34 pm #832857charlie brownMemberI am not authorized to speak for any other Charlies. Sorry.
