I could stop at any time.
It wasn’t Candy Crush. Why would I play a stupid game like that?
No, I was playing TEMPLE RUN!
What does that even mean? It sounds mean.
“Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well.”
It’s just SUCH a misquote!
@cozimjewish – Yeah, the “that’s so random” stuff is pretty commonplace, but I often wonder if people from 100 to even 30 years ago would be able to understand what we’re saying. 😀
Very superstitious….
I would like to thank all of the mods who keep my posts in check and edit them as needed so they don’t hurt others’ sensitivities.
And for having such good senses of humor. It’s often apparent in the subtitles they pick for us.
And sometimes, it’s not. 😛
“You can’t always get what you want.”
Especially when a choir is singing the words. Over. And over. And over again.
For, like, seven minutes.
I forgive you. 🙂
I clicked on this because I recognized the line from the song. I haven’t listened to Country Yossi in ages … time to go through the old cassette tapes!
“Deaf Man in the Shteeble” is beautiful. It’s almost brought me to tears on a few occasions. I wouldn’t want to listen to anything less spiritually uplifting. I’ll just pretend the original song doesn’t exist in my space-time continuum.
And, I’ll take “The Little Kinderlach” over “Kars 4 Kids” any day.
@interjection – Personally, I prefer the vocals in the Crystals’ version over Country Yossi’s, if not for the lyrical content. (Blech!) Also, I always felt bad for the boy in CY’s song, what with the parenting and teaching methods he was put through!
Does anyone feel there’s a slight “mixed message” when frum bands parody modern pop songs by folks like edited and edited (if the mods will allow us to write such unholy names here)? In comparison to the “oldie” songs Country Yossi and Veroba have parodied over the years, modern pop songs have little to no artistic merit.
I know the frum artists say right and left that they don’t endorse the original songs, the original artists, etc., but religious people who may not otherwise have heard these songs might still become exposed and desensitized to the (for the lack of a better word) musical style of this (typically) morally incompatible genre and not know to stay away if/when the original junk starts playing.
@cozimjewish – I meant, before I registered for a YWN account. I was reading the Coffee Room for a couple of years before I mustered up the courage to sign up. 🙂
I remember reading this thread two years ago (pre-registration)! How can it be that old?!
Ditto! Very well-written. 🙂
@SIDI – Yep! And I just remembered by chance the name of his baby sister, Baby Kate.
Do you reckon Binky will adopt Kate as a pet, the way Arthur has a puppy (baby dog) for a pet?
cozimjewish – Bravo!
Sounding off!
This thread will have at least one reply.
*self-fulfilled*
Good point…. I guess, before I can come up with a counterargument, I should ask how and why you consider nail polish threatening.
Mind you, I enjoy having these conversations. Please don’t take it the wrong way! 🙂
Yes, but so is nail-biting.
Guacamole and Muacamole
@RebYidd – Well, somebody’s got to do it. 😛
Dip your nails in lemon juice, or some other edible but awful-tasting substance.
Or, if you’re female, apply nail polish. I, for one, wouldn’t want to ingest that stuff.
Right. Likewise, wolverines and wolves are different creatures. And they have little to no similarities. 😛
@wannabechasidish – My pleasure. 🙂
@RebYidd23 – They aren’t the same…?RebYidd, if it makes you feel better, I’m finding our philosophical discussion about Arthur in the Hello Kitty thread to be both enlightening and amusing. 🙂
@wannabechasidish – Arthur is an aardvark (aka “ant-eater”). He looked a lot more like the real-life long-snouted creature in the original Arthur books by Mark Brown. I think there’s a story about Arthur getting glasses where he frets about how the glasses will make his snout look long or something like that….
@DaasYochid – …But Superman is way cooler.
Doesn’t Arthur have a baby sister?
@SiDi – LOL! 😀
True. Do you think Binky would ever get a pet aardvark?
Apparently, my favorite color is green.
Correct, SiDi! 😀 I wouldn’t even have remembered the track listing – very good!
Yeah, but Kitty and her cat are both kitties.
I just went to look at the Batman one, and the answer hit me – check the periodic table and this should be a little less difficult to figure out!
Randomex, I’m enjoying these jokes. They’re very nerdy in a good way! 🙂
Name this one:
Hint: Desmond and Molly Jones
Interesting points, everybody. 🙂 I like your point, my own kind of jew, about sentience. That could very well be the defining factor between Binky and Pal. Binky and HK are, in some way, persons (i.e. sentient beings), while Pal and Charmy Kitty are not.
My next theory is that these are futuristic, mutated beings from the future, descended from humans or perhaps the subject of genetic experiments, trying to imitate the relatively successful culture of the late 20th to early 21st century in hopes that their society will thrive better. 😛
Arthur and Hello Kitty are science fiction!
IvduEsHashemBsimcha – They should have people for pets!
Planet of the Pets, anyone?
One hat said to another, “You wait here. I’ll go on a head.”
This isn’t from Tanach, but this would look great in Hebrew on a ring:
???? ??? ????? ?????. ???? ??? ????? ????. ???? ??? ????? ?? ???? ????? ???? ?????.
“It’s a major misunderstanding of a certain branch of mathematics made popular by a movie made in 1993.”
Chaos theory, I presume?
What do ghosts do to stay fit?
They exorcise.
(Inspired by a recent discussion in another thread.)
@DaasYochid – I guess that’s how ghosts get their exorcise. 😛
Mazel tov, Oomis!!! 🙂 *does a happy dance*
“Y’know, the library’s got a second copy on the shelf.”
In general, a good insult is “I’m not as stupid as you look.”
Does that mean Arthur the aardvark is a person too? I have always been confused by the apparent separate social distinctions between the sentient, bipedal animals and then their nom-sentient housepets of the same species.
In layman’s terms, how come Binky the dog gets to wear people clothes and go to school, while Pal, Arthur’s dog, is treated as a mere housepet?

I’m with Goq and RebYidd23. Now that things are unfortunately heating up again, their coverage is prompt and easily accessible.
