gefenParticipant
BSD- Did you mean Robert Frost? I think Jack Frost is the one who nips at your nose.
gefenParticipantilovetheholyland: “livelovelaugh and yossi z, well said!”
I agree totally.
gefenParticipantObama meets the Queen of England. He asks how she runs such an efficient government.
Queen: I only surround myself with intelligent people.
Obama: How do you do that?
Queen: Well I ask them a riddle. If they get it right then I know they are intelligent.
Obama: What’s the riddle?
Queen: Tony Blair come over here.
Tony: Yes Mam.
Queen: If your parents have a child and it’s not your sister and it’s not your brother, who is it?
Tony: It’s me, your highness.
Queen: Right
Obama: Wow – that’s amazing.
So Obama goes back to the states and is in his oval office.
Obama: Joe Biden come in here.
Biden: Yes sir
Obama: If your parents have a child and it’s not your sister and it’s not your brother, who is it?
Biden: Hmmm… I’ll have to think about that. Let me get back to you.
Biden goes all over the white house asking people the question, but nobody seems to know the answer. Finally, he runs into Colin Powell.
Biden: Hey Colin. I have a question.
Colin: Yes Joe?
Biden: If your parents have a child and it’s not your sister and it’s not your brother, who is it?
Colin: It’s me.
Biden: Excellent – thank you so much!
Biden runs back to Obama.
Biden: President Obama! I have the answer! It’s Colin Powell
Obama: No you idiot! ……………………… It’s Tony Blair!
gefenParticipantpostsemgirl – Well yeah – ur right that one of my daughters is there basically every Shabbos. (our beds must be related cuz mine doesn’t let me out either) This is cute – if you really do know who I am, I’m very surprised. I did not think you’d figure it out cuz we really don’t know each other. I do believe you were my other daughter’s big sister in elementary school. I think so, not sure.
I do know who Syag is but obviously I can’t reveal that here. She’s a friend of mine. She does not daven in the same shul that we do.
Goq – I guess I’m a bit slow, but I finally got your postum joke. Actually my daughter pointed it out to me. I kept looking at the way I spelled it in the title but it just kept escaping me. Then she pointed it out to me.
gefenParticipant42- depends. did you eat it in chicago or did someone bring it home for you? or drumroll……do you live in chicago? could it be? we actually have a MOD AMONG US?
gefenParticipantsem20 – no – i just said we are trying to figure out when our next trip will be. i don’t think it will be too soon. when r u coming back to this neck of the woods?
gefenParticipantpostsemgirl – no i was not in kol tuv this morning, but i kind of have ties to the store. my husband used to work there. anyway, i believe i have seen you in shul. i’m not there every Shabbos so don’t think of the regulars. also i’m not so sure you are who i think you are, it’s just that some of the things you’ve said match the girl i’m thinking of. (did that make any sense at all? it’s past midnight and i’m not thinking straight, so certainly not typing straight)
syag – hey don’t scare the poor girl with ur creepy music. now, she’ll be looking over her shoulder all the time. LOL
gefenParticipantWhen was the last time you visited here?
Actually, I’m from NY. I’ve been living here for 20 yrs so far. We used to visit NY every year until approx 4 years ago. Trying to figure out when we can take another trip back.
gefenParticipantGoq- a Chicagoan at heart? So you live here or not?
gefenParticipantnothing was said about postum… but ok…. whatever you say.
btw- Goq- you seem to be from chicago too. i wonder who you are.
so i know some (actually approx 10 or so) of the chicagoans who post here. i’m curious as to who the others are like you and postsemgirl (though i have an inkling as to whom she is), etc (can’t think of who else is from here right now)
hey – we can have a fun game here – “guess the chicagoan” of course we would not actually give our names. the hints would have to do.
gefenParticipantsem20- someone has been trying to get hold of you. we thought you fell off the planet. do you check ur texts?
gefenParticipantmidwesterner: thanks for the actual prices.
derszoger: in my post i said “if i’m correct”. apparently i wasn’t. see midwesterner’s post.
gefenParticipantIf I’m correct, a whole gallon is $5.89 and half gallon is approx. $2.89
gefenParticipantpostsemgirl -yeah – it’s a good thing you didn’t bring that cow to the bon fire last night.
so, um.. do i know you? after all, there can’t be that many ppl here in chicago – especially Jewish ppl – and oh especially frum ppl. 😉
I guess that guy went out with you just to see what a religous girl from “out of town” is like. Such a rarity!
gefenParticipantcholent dog? hmmmm…. we had hot dog and spaghetti casserole last night. very popular in our house.
am i getting a little off topic here? k. i’ll leave.
gefenParticipantRight on postsemgirl: I’m bringing ole’ elsie the cow. hoo u bringin’? I’m gonna wear my overalls and straw hat too. (overall jumper that is, not pants -we are frum hicks after all)
gefenParticipantsqueak: ha ha. Actually, I’m originally from NY and when I got engaged, my boss asked me if I’m really going to live in a hick town like Chicago. I had to explain that Chicago is a large city.
So squeak – come visit some time. We even have tall buildings here (wow), and shopping malls,zoos,parks, – you name it. Not bad for a little hick town.
Oh gotta go now – my cow is “moooing”.
gefenParticipantcoffee: chill a bit
gefenParticipantSometimes the old ones are so long. Who feels like reading through hundreds of posts from months ago. It’s just more fun to start a new one.
gefenParticipantYup – a third voice here from the midwest – I only buy gallon containers of Lamer’s. I’m really surprised you can’t find them in NY.
Sam2 – why would you think chalav yisroel spoils faster?
gefenParticipantoops! spelling error 3rd line of my post. It should say “cemetery”.
gefenParticipantI made it on the list!!! Thanks Cinderella!
Also let’s not forget Always Runs With Scissors Fast. I’m sure there are others but it’s too early in the day for me to think right now.
gefenParticipantthanks yums!
May 8, 2012 12:17 pm at 12:17 pm in reply to: Camp YWN-CR! Who would you love to see there? #1022699gefenParticipantYummy – u know i’m too shy to make kiddush in front of so many ppl. So u’ll just have to think of another job for me. BTW – you do make great choc chip cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(and other stuff too of course)
gefenParticipantmod 20- no offense of course. I’m sure all of the mods were busy. You do have a life other than the cr, right? 😉
You all do a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s hear it for the mods! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gefenParticipantYossi – Yup, this has been a very interesting and confusing thread, but fun.
Syag – Ur right….. thiiiis…..haaaas….beeeeeeeen….a….verrrrrrrrry……sloooooow….modddddiiiiing….daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay…
gefenParticipantYossi – Yeah, I kind of remember that, however I don’t remember which thread or the whole story.
But I’m still confused about your comments above
“Syag: Oy! Not again! Can’t a guy reminisce in peace? Lol”,
“Syag: sorry, my mistake. It wasn’t you but gefen.” and
“Sorry, I think it was gefen.”
What was gefen? I don’t get it?
gefenParticipantGreat idea! mugs, t-shirts, baseball caps, teddy bears, bumper stickers, mouse pads, phone cases, pens, notebooks, water bottles, bracelets, tatoos, etc. Hey let’s get this going!
Then we can have a CR convention!
gefenParticipantYossi z. – huh? what do i have to do with this. why did you mention me?
gefenParticipantmidwesterner – If anyone didn’t get that one, they haven’t been here that long. It’s our famous (infamous?) POPPA BAR ABBA!
gefenParticipantavhaben – you mean “tuna baigels”?
gefenParticipantWow – how touching and true!
gefenParticipantSyag – LOL
gefenParticipant“Altogether, I don’t really care any more either. We’re frumme yidden – that’s the important thing. I am so tired of putting people in boxes.”
TOTALLY AGREE.
gefenParticipantMod 42: Thanks. I feel honored that my name was used. 🙂
gefenParticipantI’m curious too.
gefenParticipantmidwesterner: ur welcome. It’s funny, I was just thinking the same thing – about using his subtitle. Maybe I’ll try it later.
gefenParticipantk- who’s this?
wired men rest
weird me rents
rewind, me rest
rider men (go) west
gefenParticipantSyag: ok my daughter just came into my office and figured out your second one. Kapusta?
gefenParticipantSyag: ok – i think i just got the “lagoone” one – onegoal.
but i still don’t get the “UK pasta”
I’m slow but not too dumb 😉 – also half asleep.zzzzzzzzzz
gefenParticipantSyag: OK – I totally don’t understand what you wrote. I will blame it on the fact that I was up at 3 something this morning (which you already know) and didn’t fall back asleep until 5ish. So please explain wacha talking bout. 😉
gefenParticipantWhen I was in high school in NY, we had limudei Kodesh on Friday and limudei chol on Sunday. Both were half days. I don’t know if they still do it that way there. Here in Chicago, my girls never had school on Sunday but my son has had it since first grade. I agree with Syag – kids do need some down time.
gefenParticipantOneOfMany – you got it!
gefenParticipantmy husband picked 39 and one of my daughters picked 19. i did say 37, so i guess i’m normal and my family….. um… we’ll just leave it at that. 😉
actually my mother in law also said 37 – so does that make her normal too?
gefenParticipantnot a mod = tan mood
gefenParticipantG! As my l”h coach, you do a great job!
Can anyone guess who that is? Last five words are not included in her name.
gefenParticipanti’ve been trying to think of one for Popa, but there aren’t too many letters to work with.
there’s also not much you can do with my name.
gefenParticipantPopa – oh you went to a girl’s high school? hmm. musta had fun.
gefenParticipantSyag: He wrote 4th ann OF his twentieth birthday not SINCE. I take things very literally 😉
Anyway – who’s Debra Feldman?
gefenParticipant“In other news, today is the fourth anniversary of my twentieth birthday. I’m getting old.”
Ur 100 yrs. old?
