wanderingchana, this is a men’s thread. Are you hard of herring?
I see nothing wrong with what chayav is doing; he’s playing a game, and being very obvious about it.
I knew a woman who finished shas (Bavli) three times.
Yes, but I imagine that she was sober.

You should give the $40 to the owner of the ice cream store.
This thread is also about shidduchim.
If you can’t afford dating, supporting a family is going to be a MAJOR ISSUE
That’s assuming that there will not be any additional forms of income after marriage. However, there usually are.
Rabbosai, I’m getting frustrated;
what I will now say will be hated.
Some of these rhymes,
are not worth two dimes;
it shouldn’t be so complicated!
My presence here is so sporadic,
cause it makes me sick,
to see a limerick,
whose style is so erratic.
A rhyme means the words end the same;
you know, there are rule to this game.
The words tune and too,
that’s why these limericks are lame!
I gave now but one small example,
Unfortunately, there have been ample.
Cookey and rookie,
from rhyme school played hooky,
On rhyming rules these do trample.
I know I am being annoying,
and with your feelings I’m toying,
but boot, food and good,
you really should,
avoid in the same poem deploying.
Everyone will soon improve,
come now, let’s get on the move!
Just follow the rules,
we won’t look like fools.
Let’s get this thread back in the groove!
I hope no one did I insult,
I do not want that to result;
I meant it in jest,
you are all the best!
Forgive me and I will exult.
By the way, there are more pages,
but done in a way which enrages.
There used to be six,
pages of limericks,
now suddenly nine, not in stages.
He asked three questions.
3) Why did a Jewish mother name her son Yishmael?
there was an amora called reb yishmael ben elisha

?
What does R’ Chaim say about someone named Joseph using multiple names?
That’s it! Joseph was told by R’ Chaim to change his name. He went to 28 different rabbonim to ask which name he should adopt, and this is the result! YW-Moderator 42, you’re a genius! 🙂
Popa Bar Abba,
I totally disagree; I think these, and all, decisions are best left to parents. When my mother’s not looking I’ll let you know what I really think…
Normal? Yes. Productive? No.
I also prefer date beer.
Or, possibly, R. Solomon does not make the business decisions for BMG.
Good point.
Had I personally heard the mashgiach say “only Hamodia” I would be more equipped to form an opinion, based on tone of voice and context, on what he meant. As is, I’ll assume he was not being literal. Besides my point about the BMG ads, I don’t think any of that other publication’s shortcomings would warrant exclusion from a good Jewish home.
Rav M. Solomon said it very clearly in a drosho 2-3 years ago at the Agudah convention, and I quote “The Hamodia is not another paper that you should buy – it is the ONLY paper you should have in your house”. Of course he was not refering to the Yated – he was refering to bringing in any other daily into your house.
Why are you making an assertion that is clearly contradictory to what R. Solomon said?
The Wolf
BMG does advertise in Yated; it’s hard to believe they would if the mashgiach was against taking it into one’s home.
Do we have to be sober?
Yo, dude, using those sick words is mad beastly.
Good night to you, my dear Yoss,
go to sleep without making a fuss.
Although you’re inspired,
you must be real tired,
from yesterday’s trip on the bus!
I hope that the chasunah was nice,
and nobody slipped on the ice.
Outside all is frosted,
and I am exhausted,
so for tonight, this will suffice.
As I go on with this ode,
We’re proud that this thread,
has no loshon hora said,
mutual respect always showed.
his limerick to read we were craving;
but it was aborted,
and now we feel shorted,
to avoid a lie,
“Ken Zayn” that I am a naysayer,
a nice rhyme he did,
This poem has taken a week,
I think that enough I did speak.
I can take my pension,
once I do mention,
Now I must this poem conclude;
I hope I was not misconstrued.
If I left you out,
please give me a shout,
and next time I’ll try to include.
(then BP Totty)
and also the Persian Queen.
which reminds me of,
I cannot leave off of my list,
the Modern Chareidi Zionist
The best name, I think,
and “H Newman” really got the gist.
To be continued…
The answer, B-Y, to your quest,
which you only made in jest:
in our names, words two,
but just one for you.
You thus differ from the rest.
Shticky Guy,
To mention some others we shall,
we don’t want to leave out a pal.
You did mention Oomis,
with poems too good to miss,
but what happened to Minyan Gal?
We should not omit Flatbush Dude,
doing so would be quite rude.
And old Mr. 80,
who could be my zaidy,
has given us some thoughtful food.
I have to leave now really quick,
so please help me out, Guy of Shtick,
name some more rhymers,
especially old timers,
and help finish this limerick.
I’m sorry that I came so late,
and for me you did have to wait.
Your list did not finish,
i.e. chayav inish;
of others left out there’s a spate.

We now have reached page number six,
on the thread which contains limericks.
Come one and come all,
’cause we’re having a ball!
Join us for your daily fix!
Oh, I have no idea.
Today for lunch I had spaghetti
it took half an hour to get ready.
I sometimes eat fish,
as my main dish,
but pasta is more of a steady.
Here is a subtle example of a hurtful username twist. So subtle there’s a chance it could have been accidental, but since the post already had to be edited for some reason…
Avram in MD:
Oh i didnt even realize. i read the OP’s name quickly and thought it said halfagirl, the “L” looked like an “i”. (a lower case “L” and upper case “i” look the same.
Whoops!
I guess we should have been dan l’caf z’chus. YummyYummy, please be moichel.
Why do some threads end up online and some not?
I’m not sure what you mean…
*kapusta*,
And sometimes a mod will edit a post (a note to the poster or something) instead of a new post, any way to put some sort of notification if that happens? Maybe the “last poster” could change colors or something…
They put in in bold.
Because this is a coffee room, not a bar. 🙂
Ken,
He was sad, but he didn’t get mad at his dad.
Howie is fine,
he’s just on vacation.
I won’t be in touch
for the duration.
Fret not ’bout his health;
he won’t come to harm.
He’s spending his time off
on a fat farm!
You are right daas yochid
Starting this thread i did
Sad i should be not
As I have done a lot
Yikes! i need help here!
entertaining many a Yid!
Blinky, please don’t feel bad,
there’s no reason you should be sad.
You started this thread,
and you’re still way ahead.
Of that you should really be glad!
Shticky Guy, chayav inish livisumay, smartcookie,
You’re making it hard to stay humble,
although my words I often fumble.
And I’m even worse
when not talking in verse,
I then badly stammer and stumble!
Yossi,
It seems I can not stop thinking
Even while eating or drinking
With rhymes times five
I would like to thrive
At this limericks a-making
Anyone have a better ending?
A tip; sometime with a good rhyme it’s hard to find a good third match – so try switching it to the 3rd and 4th lines. For example:
I found something at which I thrive
to write a good limerick I strive.
I’m constantly thinking,
while eating and drinking,
how to do rhyming times five.
Yossi, you gave it a crack;
now you are getting the knack.
so I am inviting
you to keep on writing,
because you are on the right track.
Yossi,
Anyone have a better ending?
thus keeping my brain from shrinking?
SG,
Thanks
Mazel Tov on the wedding,
remember to bring with you bedding.
Give someone the map,
while you take a nap,
when to Baltimore you are heading.
Yossi, it was a nice try,
but your poems just did not fly.
Not bad the timing,
but awful the rhyming,
So I will let you know the rules,
(I went to four limerick schools).
These rules you must follow,
so here are some important tools.
it must fit into certain specs,
Lines 1,2, with 5
and 3 with 4 jive,
and there is not much room to flex.
The first and the second line,
may not have more sounds than 9.
Lines 3 and 4
cannot have more
than five, for the limerick to shine.
With one more rule I will proceed,
the final line may not exceed,
syllables seven,
for limerick heaven,
and now you know how to succeed!
Your effort, I really commend;
my words, I hope, do not offend.
Because I only have one screen name. 🙂
Ken Zayn,
Naaah…
as you can tell from my posts although im a bubby i post in text lingo. i think it would really help if there was a spell check option. i dont know how or if we would be able to do that but when i use microsoft word i get the green and red lines under sentences when they are grammatically incorrreect. Mods please see if this is possible
You could use a browser which has spell check, such as Firefox (I hear Google Chrome does also) or you could type your post in Word and copy it into the reply box.
Tizku L’mitzvos, and Mazel Tov!
The title of this thread, as well as some of the content, begs the question: Would any of us eat in a restaurant that is “fairly kosher”? As in, most courses are “glatt”, except for one side dish which has pig in it?
*kapusta*,
If you change your mind and decide not to post something while the EDIT option is still there, you can resubmit it blank.
Or, just post asking us to take it down.
Avram,
The one that you commented on in another thread was over the line. I pointed that out over there as well.
Thank you. (That’s English for thank you.)
I had an Aunt Tilde.
