<Grins> That’s very nice of you, but I don’t remember the vote. Of course, it’s your thread…
Now mods, I appreciate the gesture, but there are to be no more exceptions to the official policy of no-bumping-year-old-threads.
That’s an order!
Kivi and Tuki have a sixth volume now – I didn’t know until Erev Rosh Hashana.
Clarification: As is sort of visible in my above post, I did not mean to suggest Country Yossi’s “Elan Elan” as a chupa song, just to suggest it for people who don’t like Shwekey’s “Ilan Ilan” (which I’ve never heard), though I suppose by the same reasoning…
Oomis, I know you didn’t see The Best Bubby for 38 years, but you should really know by now – some people on the Internet, and even the Coffee Room, don’t really mean what they say – they’re just doing it for the reactions.
Cozimjewish:
I saw goq's post and i was wondering what he was talking about!Actually, The Goq was commenting on the joke about the bochur.
The cake joke came later.
I forgot to say – I don’t see how you answer any of those questions either, of course.
(edited)
Try Country Yossi’s “Elan Elan.”
OP (yekke2), any details as to what you’re looking for?
Did anyone notice that my post can be interpreted in two ways?
That was intentional. Randomex is brilliant.
I think I’ve demonstrated my ability to figure out all the different things someone can mean, but I’m a little busy, DaasYochid. Could I ask you to state your point explicitly?
(That’s a good word for b’feirush, for all you aspiring ArtScroll writers.)
RebYidd23, any response?
No (see above note?). A few candidates do come to mind, though:
1) Na’aseh adam b’tzalmeinu kidmuseinu.
(First recorded question in Chumash.)
2) Af ki omar Elokim “Lo sochlu mikol etz hagon”.
(First question in the world recorded in Chumash.)
3) Ayeko.
(Hashem’s first question to a worldly being recorded in Chumash.)
4) A question in one of the above categories which preceded the first question in that category in the Chumash, but is not in the Chumash, only in another source.

(I am proud of myself for not having had to Google ICR. {It’s “I can relate,” right?} )
cozimjewish:
Assuming kedusha is possible in this generation, you’ll have a better shot at it.
(Taking “attachment” to an extreme, we could even assume only you and those like you will have a shot at it!)
If it isn’t possible at all, then your attachment won’t matter… (I doubt that’s the case, though.)
My spider-sense is telling me you’re from England or Israel, but not America. Am I right?
Doing as many aveiros as possible in order to maximize the value.That’s not an original – it’s from a chassidishe mayseh (possibly one involving the Berditchever).
I’ve been keeping a copy of my posts for a while. If it’s too much trouble to copy and paste every attempt into a file, you can use a keylogger program, though it’s not perfect for the use (whatever order you type things in, that’s the way they are in the log, and nothing is removed).
Cozimjewish:
Try re-reading the rules (both stickys), then drafting your thread again while keeping them in mind.
Haifagirl:
It is considered offensive to use “retard” as an insult because such use is hurtful to the developmentally disabled (for whom it was previously used exclusively as a technical name).
It is considered offensive to use “retard” for a developmentally disabled person because it has acquired a negative connotation due to being used as an insult.
When the person using the word in relation to a DD person is a close relative of said person, it is obvious that they do not mean it negatively. But this does not mean that the word is appropriate for general use. In your cases, the people using the word may not even be aware that many consider the word offensive.
(And would even those people use the word for that son or sister in their presence?)
What about a couple introduction (“intro”) song? Do they have one picked out already?
I went back and read the first page – we’ve got quite a few musicians here, it seems 🙂
Maybe a YouTube channel can be set up that everyone can access to upload videos (moderated, of course) so we can hear everyone play?
Or a SoundClick/SoundCloud, and everyone can e-mail audio to some YWN address?
What instrument do you play, PAA?
Correction (it’s good all year round too) – it’s in their Rosh Hashana machzor, not the Yom Kippur one.
Of the Chicago Sun-Times?!
I’ll take the quality of that joke as punishment for being on the CR
now. (I came on to check my shchivmera thread…)
I’d suggest Rabbeinu Yonah’s “Yesod Hateshuvah.” It’s in the back of the common edition of Shaarei Teshuvah, and translated in ArtScroll Yom Kippur machzorim if you can’t handle it in the original Hebrew.
Letakein Girl:
I don’t mean (and, I’m sure, neither does Cozimjewish) that I admire or idealize the secular society’s way of life. Not at all!
Rather,
I meant that I love (in the sense of enjoying greatly) reading, listening to, playing, or watching many of their products.
And I know he's trolling (though thanks for explaining what that means). In that case he expected my response and u don't ignore Poppa.Without knowledge of the meaning of a term, knowing that someone is doing it is meaningless as well.
And a well-known rule of the Internet is “Do not feed the trolls,”
meaning ignore them (often abbreviated as DNFTT).
That, of course, is why I’m ignoring ChizukGedarim’s post.
(Also, please let go of this Popa=Big Papa thing.)
Offended not would I be, if write a letter to me someone would without writing out the part which would independently be a Shem.
Other people acting git meshigge is not offensive, or even hurtful.
Acquire significance depending on context, Sheimos do…
Mods:
Err away on the side of caution, but how can you allow divrei Torah to be posted? They might not be treated with the proper respect either, though I don’t know if that’s as much of an issue.
I don’t know if you know – Sholom Ber (from K&T 4) is the title character from the Shteeble-Hoppers song “Sholom Ber” (Break Out).
That’s where the whole thing about him having drowned comes from.
The Sheim Game is a straight-up cover of a non-Jewish
song, with “sheim” instead of “name.”
As for the others (from memory):
Aseh m’at
V’emor harbei
I talk too much and
You talk the whole day
Talking is cheap
Who cares what you say
Aseh m’at v’
Emor harbeh!
—
If you find somebody’s wallet on the street
Give it back
Give it back
If you find somebody’s wallet at your feet
Give it back
Oh, give it baaaaaaaack
So don’t put it off ’til later
‘Cause ha – shovas aveidah
is a mitzvah that will make you happy too
—
Oh everything has a place
And unlike the human race
I like to throw my stuff just anywhere I guess
…
I put jelly in my pocket
blow my nose like it’s a rocket
and I wear potato kugel on my head
…
and I eat my pickled herring in your bed
[Some of those foods are probably wrong.]
<Grins>
Oh, I’m gonna be your true blue friend oh I’m gonna be your friend
If someone starts a fight with you I’ll be there to defend you
And no matter what the outcome I’ll [stand by you?] to the end
‘Cause I’m gonna be your one and only best and true blue friend
(The verses I find a little harder to remember.)
Now let’s say Moish the meanie comes and takes away his bat
and says “This game is over, boys-now what do you think of that?”
…
He looks in all his pockets but he just can’t find a cent
[…?]
Well it’s Tuki to the rescue when there’s money to be lent
Ah, good old days.
I thought “v’yesh l’yasheiv” meant “and an answer can be given(:)”. How can you conclude with that phrase?
Ooh, a compliment from Popa! Thanks!
Haifagirl: So, uh, were the people in question actually develo-pmentally disabled? (That might be a question best described with your preferred non-offensive word for “unintelligent.”)
[ New page 🙂 ]
cozimjewish:
I actually don’t mind being technical support!
(I’m even losing plausible deniability over this… what won’t I do for you?)
I’m putting the answers to your questions (and more) in this thread: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/just-testing-the-various-allowed-markups
Please ask any future questions there as well – this will allow me to keep all of my instructional material in one place.
So you like Kivi and Tuki, do you?
Now let’s say that a vilde chaya runs out from the zoo
He wants to eat up Sholom Ber
Now what are you gonna do?
PAA:
I was originally planning on doing it, nothing to do with you.
Anonymous mod: I’ll talk to you later. Someone wants the computer…
(I haven’t gone through all above posts.)
Did you mean these “original questions,” PAA?
Do animals have a sense when their time is coming and go curl up in a cave somewhere? How come the only dead animals I ever see are road kill? Where do animals go when they are ready to pass on?Because I don’t see how that answers them.Check out this little trick:

Noticing the [-3] at the end of the thread’s URL, I decided to see what this title had previously been used for.
1st time – Vote for a picture (of a baby, I think) to try to win a stroller for a family – it failed. (4 years ago)
Sparked a discussion on whether it was right to try to win in this manner. My opinion: I think that’s mostly the idea!
2nd time – Help with setting up a camp hotline – one reply (2 years ago)
3 – Tehillim for a ba’al teshuvah who had had a heart attack – response was positive. He was doing better of 10 posts later. (2 years ago)
In case anyone’s interested, when you make a thread with a title that has already been used, “-1” is added to the URL. If the title has been used twice, “-2” will be added, and so on.
Shopping: Each name gets a posuk that begins with its first letter and ends with its last.
It seems the name “Sima” (runs in my family) has no posuk – at least, not if you spell it samech-yud-mem-aleph.
Taking the question literally, it sounds like the two types are
pretty clearly “modern guys” and “modern guys in right-wing yeshivas,” if their homes have TVs and they don’t wear hats (at all) outside yeshiva, but ThatGuy’s second post seems to indicate that this wasn’t his intention.
Maybe he just means that the “modern guys in r-w yeshivas” should
have learned there not to partake of secular culture in the manner that their family does?
Or is the second category “yeshivish kids drifting?”
Variations in standards exist within the camps, of course – I’m from Lakewood, and many of the people I see in the local public library probably don’t identify as modern, whatever they may be checking out. (They aren’t usually yeshiva bochurim.)
Whether they in fact ideologically see no problem with what they’re doing is another story – is that what you mean, ThatGuy?
For girls, things are a little different. Yeshivas are yeshivas, but different girls’ schools may be more or less tolerant. I don’t know.
My own category, of course, is “ideologically yeshivish but in love with (and possibly addicted to) secular culture.”
Haven’t read everything yet, but it looks like a job for… me. 🙂
CozImJewish:
PBA - question: am I supposed to EVER take you seriously?? (no idea if this has already been discussed - probably :) )eftachbchinor: `
Popa- I was wondering if you’d ever respond to anything I say. The impression I always got from reading what you say is that you’re the Big Popa of this place, and your words are usually short n sharp. But I have to say I’m really unimpressed now. `
Here’s the deal: Popa (pronounced puh-puh), full name popa_bar_abba (a play on Abba bar Popa, one of Rav Popa’s sons, who are mentioned at a siyum) is a longtime member of the Coffee Room who fills the role of court jester/troll*-in-residence and is favored by (at least some of) the mods.
(See here, section C.)
You should not take anything he says
seriously unless it is either 1) about halacha or
2) believable and sensible in its context.
Otherwise, it is only a joke.
Popa’s profile is located here:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/popa_bar_abba
Clicking on his name will give you a little bit of information as well.
*”Troll” is a term used for someone on the Internet who says or does things not because they mean them sincerely, but only in order to get a reaction from people.

#Good middos #easygoing #onethatyoucantrustGotta love these young’uns who either naturally speak in hashtags and/or assume any site that they’re on uses them. Dern kids!
More seriously, “seventh” has been registered since
December 27, 2012 (1 year)but only became active 3 weeks ago.As the kids say, whatever. (Anyone who’s lurked for a year would
know not to use hashtags, or at least one hopes they would.)
Randomex - your crash course REALLY helped me. I keep going back to it if I'm unsure about something. Thank you!And thank you for the positive feedback! B’li neder,
thread on the subject (feedback) coming soon!
