Well, it’s fun to say aloud (KwanZAA!).
I think I’m gonna try that first one. Hee hee hee.
soliek (and Queen Bee), I have to say, I totally sympathize with you. I think I’ve sampled pretty much all the popular Jewish authors at this point, and they’re definitely getting worse. And I’d love to see anything you two wrote (don’t worry, I’m not so very picky).
P.S. For Kido – two more: Tzippi Caton (b’sheim LuvMe on the other book thread), and Mordechai Shmutter. If you’re interested in some clean secular stuff, let me know! 🙂
Hmm. Thanks.
Does that include giving stam charity to goyim?
HaLeVia says, too girly might mean that she actually got insulted when he casually made a rude or nasty comment.
Are you not supposed to get insulted when someone casually makes a nasty comment? How does this make sense?
How could you give a goy a gift in a way that it WOULD qualify as “matnas chinam”? I mean, isn’t the point of giving gifts to neighbors, employees, etc. to increase mutual good will – from which all parties benefit, no?
Sure! That was a great thread, by the way.
soliek: I don’t think that’s true. What about Marcus Lehman or Avner Gold? Their works are practically classics. And Etka Gittel Schwartz – newish author, historical fiction? I find her stuff very interesting and engaging.
I get that you think a certain author is matchless. I have a few particular favorites, too (and they aren’t Jewish writers, either). But that doesn’t mean that there CAN’T be any other works worth reading.
kido: I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with you. I just think you should take a look at that thread.
anything non-jewish and youll be fine.
That assertion is ridiculous. There is plenty of non-Jewish rubbish out there (and I’m not talking non-kosher).
The purpose of marriage is solely to build new generations and continue the chain of klal yisroel….
Hmmmm.
soliek: That’s the only kind. 🙂
The whole water bottle thing (yeah, it’s real) doesn’t make sense to me. I DO believe that it is uncouth to drink from a bottle, but that water bottles are in a different klal, as they are MEANT to be drunk from. Does anyone agree with me?
The apostrophe usage in the title is way too intelligible. I would advise altering it.

Hey, figuringitout – nu, do I get a convert to my credit? 🙂
We really need to put a ceiling on the amount of sh______chim threads allowed per day…
You could try upchucking in the latke pan. Then everyone will be just as miserable as you are – and misery loves company, no?
Hm, no go for intelligible? Then I’ll go for unintelligible.
I dno’t tihnk taht serimanies are shudidch fatcoreis. It’s simply unenocmoical. Perant ptus dwon roghuly $20,000 for sem, duaghter needs to wiat aruond 2-3 yaers to get her dergee = $20,000-30,000 (hack colelges dno’t cut it no mroe), duaghter is now 23 and needs to pay NASI $6,000+ for a date, and wednidng is anohter $20,000+. The paretns are now finihsed. And it’s the serimanies’ fualt. They are the ture cuase of the enocomic crisis. Heck, they probalby cuased the shudidch crisis too. Girl shuold stay home, get marired, get sheital macher dergee, make it rich qucik (in that order).
I have an irreligious Jewish professor who is having a heyday with this. It’s very sad.
Doesn’t a skinny girl who smokes rank higher than stam a skinny girl? Actually, she should rank above than the fat daughter-of-a-miscreant, too! Don’t let the smoking girls fall through the cracks!
I don’t remember Bar Shattya being this unpleasant…who are you and what have you done with the real Bar Shattya?!
I grew up in a neighborhood with lots of decorated lawns. My siblings and I would have contests to see who could find the coolest lawn. Our parents never made a big deal about it. B”H, none of us have converted to Christianity. 🙂
It is not debatable that the reason for seminary is to get a good shidduch.
I am willing to debate that.
Lol. Nice.
Wasn’t Eglah Michal’s nickname?
🙂
Einstein’s ambivalence on the subject of God is actually very interesting.
cherrybim: How is smoking comparable to chillul Shabbos and eating treif?
Einstein.
Happy birthday! 😀
More general – electron probability clouds, the uncertainty principle and “God doesn’t play dice with the world.”
Gat (Pelishti capital).
Sam2: It’s a similar concept. That’s why I said “sort of.”
Parenthetically, I heard a really interesting shiur today that explained bechira with quantum theory. It was pretty neat. 🙂
That’s sort of what R’ Dessler says.
I don’t like sufganiot. But don’t worry – I made up for them in latkes. 🙂
real-brisker:
As the famous saying goes “beggers can’t be choosey”
According to the Jewish concept of chesed, the chesed-doer is NOT supposed to treat the recipient like a ‘beggar.’ It’s not a matter of quid pro quo.
Such jokes may be in extremely bad taste, but I’m not quite sure that they qualify as real apikorsus – bad case of leitzanus, maybe?
That aside, as I once said about “yo mama” jokes, a person’s brand of humor says a lot about them. So it probably IS best to avoid such jokes…
Mod 42: Enter “answer to life the universe and everything” into Google Calculator for an interesting result. 🙂
Okay, seriously now – I’ve heard plenty of Chuck Norris jokes in my time, and none of them were objectionable. I can imagine how you could make them so, if you really wanted to…but how does apikorsus come into the picture?
passfan: I’m talking about someone whose mesorah is that they DO light.
yentingyenta: Still don’t get it, but you’re entitled to your feelings. 🙂
…still laughing…
Some posters here (including the OP) have cited “something not feeling right” as their reason for not wanting to light chanukah licht. I’m kinda curious (and confused) – why exactly did you feel that way? I mean, I’m a girl who lights, and I can only imagine feeling weird NOT lighting (since my whole family does).
I just laughed for fifteen seconds straight.
Ooh, ooh, cinderella just reminded me…what’s green, fuzzy, and if it fell from a tree could kill you? A pool table. *cue groans*
Shticky Guy – math geekiness and good diction were grappling over that one. Good diction won out. 🙂
A mathematician, a biologist and a physicist are sitting in a street cafe. They observe two people enter an abandoned building across the street. After a while, three people exit the building. The physicist remarks, “Our initial measurement must have been inaccurate.” The biologists counters, saying, “They have reproduced.” And the mathematician says, “If exactly one person enters the house, it will be empty again.”
There are ten types of people in the world: those who know binary and those who don’t.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
