Say, 29, why didn’t you just edit your response into my post?

(Also, you are one of the subtitle guys – I’d forgotten about this:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/do-the-moderators-enjoy-giving-subtitles#post-541659 )

So, if you enjoy giving subtitles, how about a new one for

Avram in MD? I mean, we can see that he’s Avram, that he’s in the CR, and that in the CR (just as in MD), he is Avram.

—-

Avram in MD’s subtitle as of this post was “Avram in the CR,” but that might well change soon – see above.

Sorry, 29! I copied her structure without thinking about it. I didn’t mean to “post as if I were a moderator.” I’ve fixed it.

Hey, why didn’t you challenge her implicit assertion that PAA and I are capable of changing her subtitle?

Did you only challenge me because I often criticize how people express their thoughts?

(Also, does this mean you’re one of the subtitle guys?)

This post does not have “for mod read only” at the top.

Do you know what I mean?

P.S. I guess you weren’t on duty for this one:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/response-to-lior#post-541133

Actually, I’ve been thinking about it, because I want your subtitle changed, but I’m not sure as of yet what to. (“Harping on” is usually used negatively, and given that you “play by ear so don’t really know the official lingo*,” I don’t need to look up the meanings of the terms you used (though as a music nut, I’d still like to someday) to doubt both that you had a specific meaning in mind, and that your current subtitle actually makes sense.

I have a number of ideas, which relate variously to your use of the CR rather than a harp to understand philosophy [the meaning of the posuk], your “opening” of philosophical discussions (with a harp, perhaps?)[the literal meaning of “eftach”], and attempting to retain some link to your current subtitle.

I’ll b’li neder try to finish up and get back to you.

(P.S. The only reason I haven’t addressed this yet is because I thought I’d do it in the thread where you requested the subtitle,

and I haven’t gotten around to really going through it and writing responses to whatever I want to. I don’t like to make

partial responses to a thread – if I do it, I usually say so at the top of the post. But this place moves so fast… The way I do things, I just can’t keep up, despite spending too much time on it alreaady.)

wallflower:

Hi! I’m sorry about your subtitle, but I thought it needed

demolition, and the mods eventually agreed. I’m sure you’ll

have a new one soon. How does “In full bloom” sound?

Sorry, Goq, but the seating at weddings is for eating.

You didn’t actually change the meaning.

You’ve got a good #point, Hashtagposter. What’s holy

about wasting money, though? Did you mean unholy?

zalman:

Good one! (And congratulations on your 8-year veterancy!)

RebYidd23:

But people who buy benchers aren't forcing others to do the same.

Correct, but they’re creating a situation in which others feel pressured to do the same. By your logic, no one can be asked not to conspicuously consume.

Then again, given your “argument” above, “But some people like to spend money,” I’m not sure I’m supposed to take you seriously here.

I’ve seen bentshers that are just stiff cards with one fold, with only bentshing on them – they probably cost less, and there’s a lot less to them when it comes to disposal.

ivory:

I think Catch Yourself meant a place where you daven every time you daven (size: four amos by four amos?).

But presumably one can have different places in different locations – surely having a makom kavua does not mean never traveling?! (Unless it’s simply a matter of whether you daven in that place every time or not…) So you’ve got a point, but your argument is with CY, not me. (If you indeed meant that part for him, it should’ve been separated from the other part.)

As for the shidduchim, it’s been a month, which is not insignificant – except that I’d forgotten that the month in question was Tishrei, which is a rather busy time. Oops…

You got me! Congratulations!

Still, asking about results after only a short time does not necessarily imply that the lack of such results invalidates the means (in this case, tefillah) being used.

(By the way, you once mentioned that no one would guess why you chose your name. Does that mean it wasn’t because of any common meaning or use of the word?)

Here’s another serious (and excellent) post from Popa:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/pride-minyan#post-469933

tzviki16:

“Jews” and “Jewishness” are now recognized in ways that do not involve Judaism and are not necessarily even compatible with it.

So, are chaya leah bas naomi devorah, Elisheva Chedva Bas Sarah, and Chaya Esther bas Rochel engaged or married yet?

Yaakov Avraham ben Michleh and Dov Nechemiah HaKohein ben Rochel Chaya Sorah are alive, albeit not well (or at least in the latter’s case, news of his death [chas v’shalom] is not on Google, but it sounded like his treatment was expected to take more than a year – hence my two assumptions).

catch yourself:

What would you say to a Breslover who told you that his makom kavua for davening on Rosh Hashono is “in Uman?”

😉

I took the risk of seeing the name of the song, and it worked out!

Please don’t post the name of the song, readers – if anyone wants

to know, they’ll follow the link.

Yes, I’ve gotten to work – more details later.

sm29:

Good point.

(Mods, please change the title to something more explanatory,

such as “What about the krovim?”)

I just realized that the “-1” years glitch could mean that my comment (just above this one) was wrong, and The Goq’s post was actually about the cake joke. This can no longer be determined, though, because we’re far enough away that the time-stamps are the same.

(I wonder if the mods can put an exact time to a post?

The information must be there for there to be even a relative time-stamp…)

(PAA – No points for figuring out why I was here at all.)

Is there only one mod who does the subtitles? Just curious.

At least two. -100

eftachbchinor:

The thing is, which tone should I assume the eight tones the toy produces start on? If I assume it’s A-A, then A=1, B=2, etc. But if

it goes from C to C, then A=6, B=7, C=?, D=2…

That’s why I mentioned intervals. But come to think of it, if your key note isn’t A, the same thing would apply… or would it? I’m not even a musician! You (or PAA) can just tell me what the song is, and it’ll probably turn out that I’ve never heard of it.

PAA:

Can you help me out, not with the name, but maybe with the rhythm or spacing or some such? I’m using a child’s plaything – only one tone at a time is possible, which I think can mess with the feel of the piece if some notes are pressed too close together… or whatever! I’m tired.

Please don’t post the name of the song, audience…

NOTE: I later realized that those with a certain degree of intelligence might actually have the right question after following the link, and my hint would then send them off track. I apologize if this happened to you, readers.

PAA:

You did not provide a definition for “triplical.”

—

“Ingraining” / “ingraination” :

Except that the tense wouldn’t work.

I think “ingraining” works as a makor in English.

Let’s see:

1. The ingraination of X into one’s nature

2. The ingraining of X into one’s nature

The only difference appears to me to be that only one form is officially valid.

—

Note this in the “sarcasticon” section: “[added later, PAA!]” after a link to the thread I would later claim to have been unaware of. (You did not mention this.)

—

“Conversified”

What would have been the problem with “the converse is not necessarily so?”

It gives the sentence a whole different feel.

How does “feel” come into a logical discussion? (While we’re talking about this, I think the likelihood of the kollel community seeing working people as an economic burden on them [even following the shita, which presumably exists and might be correct for all I know, that actually, the kollel community is the cause of the wealth of the workers, just as a person’s children act as conduits of blessing rather than taking money away from him – the Aron is “no’sei es nos’ov] is a lot smaller than “not necessarily” would imply.)

The Writersoul issue:

I think I did miss meaning 1),

and I do agree that it could have been 3), which may or

may not make sense – Let’s just forget about this part.

(Me: Contrary to what somebody seems to believe, I am not a walking index of the CR.)

(That was a reference. Did you get it? Probably… )

Or maybe I just didn’t see that thread.

You clearly did see it, as you quoted it

Let’s take another look.

Or maybe I just didn’t see that thread. […] But given how short that line is, and the hint…

[empty line]

That’s right, I didn’t read much of that thread

How could I say definitively that I hadn’t read much of the

thread if I didn’t know what it was? But how could I know

what it was if I hadn’t read it?

The answer lies here: “Given how short that line is, and the hint… [empty line]”

That line, and the following ellipsis and break, meant this:

Given how small the line is, and the hint, there’s not much it could be referencing. That thread should then be easy to find – and it was. The ellipsis and line are meant to be me

going off to find the thread, and returning to announce that indeed, I had not previously seen it.

I then attempted to prove it with a quote which involves a bad misunderstanding of a word, something I am sure you are aware I am opposed to.

(Later, having followed the link to “PAA vs. PBA” to see if there was anything new there, I came across a link to the second page of that thread, where I found new information about one

of the “sarcasticons” higher up in my [still-unposted] post. I added this information, noting that it had been added later, so as not to cause the illusion that I had already read that thread when I wrote that part of the post.)

You can also note that I did not ask for the location of the discussion you had referenced – because I knew it.

You have not addressed this either:

Let’s try your ability to get references:

eftachbchinor:

No worries, Eftach! I have no information about that song

other than HaLeiVi’s post, and while it’s obviously meant to be humorous, I don’t have any idea what other than the subject matter might make it funny.

Did you see the editing instructions?

Just for you, I’m going to try to figure the song out by intervals on a “The Wiggles™” toy guitar. But can you perhaps tell me what it’s first note is likely to be (there are 8 notes) so that I can play the correct notes?

eftachbchinor:

Guess I missed the joke. (hanging my head, pride bit deflated.)

What joke? What’s all that about?

eftachbchinor:

The song can be found here – http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/shark-in-mikvah – but I’ll reprint it.

Ai yai, yai yai, yai yai, yai yai

There’s a, shark in the, Mikva

Ai yai, yai yai, yai yai, yai yai

There’s a, shark in the, Mikva

Ai yai yai it doesn’t bite

Ai yai yai it doesn’t fight

Ai yai yai it doesn’t bite

It just gives me a fright

HaLeiVi noted that he was sorry for leaving out the beams.

(I was about to ask you to explain what that meant, then realized

I could Google it.)

PAA:

Point taken. So, will you reveal the truth now as well,

“l’maan ha’emes*?”

(You could’ve edited that into your previous post, you know.)

The fact is, you simply weren’t in that thread.

Go ahead though, tell us what you play – the harp? :-7
