    And can mods be convinced to approve a post they previously disapproved?

    The dangers of a Chevron massacre could be avoided with a simple police department. This against foreign countries, with weapons and propaganda and terrible things.

    I don’t think lior was arguing w/ you, yekke 2.

    And it’s perfectly acceptable to write how singing should be done.

    “will end up being the chazzan about 85% percent of the time,’

    “I’d tell him to forget it – do it yourself.”

    If it came down to doing it myself, I would. I think lessons are best taught through example, anyway.

    Seems like we’ve got one scared driver!!

    (sigh) I was afraid of comments like that. My chosen username was screwdriverdelight, until mods changed it for reasons I don’t know. I don’t mind, but it doesn’t shouldn’t reflect on my driving skills.

    Just one question (among the many more), if it was raining that night, why didn’t you scrawl with that bar of soap?

    It just happened to have been raining, I didn’t plan it.

    What are the many more?

    You could do online check-in to choose a seat. So why doesn’t El Al just have a section where you select your gender, and then people will know if they want to sit next to them.

    And it’s not because they’re anti-religious, because it’s in their best interest. These things happen every day, the stewards are almost undoubtedly tired of the whole thing, their planes become delayed (whatever), and it’s not such a hard thing to do. definitely a lot easier than havingkosher meals.

    I omitted that you also posted 4 hrs. ago, so even if you’re from California, and 6 AM is reall 3 AM, you’d still have been up at 5 AM

    I hope you’re not American, because if you stay up until 3 AM posting, and you posted 6 hrs. ago, then that means you either woke up or were still up at 6 AM. Not getting 4 hrs of sleep is one thing, but try for 3 1/2, at least.

    Everyone is standing outside the UN when a reporter walks up and says, “What’s the oilam’s opinion on the current meat shortage in America?”

    One clique, led by Yekke 2, is like “What’s our opinion? Huh???”

    Pixelate says it indicates Moshiach’s imminent arrival, and PAA hands the reporter huge piles of sources, with all the merits and arguments of Pixelate’s theory.

    I try flashing my PhD badge to the reporter, but I’m drowned out by Lord Voldemort (Duke V)’s loud proclomations that the shortage actually started in England, and the shortage in America is nothing compared to what it is in England.

    Sidi says this is a dumb question. And tons of people point out that it’s not even current, and the reporter just decided to bump an old issue. So I take out the dictionary and check up, “current”

    Health says it’s better this way, because…need I finish the sentence? Oh, and it will keep mad cows out of the USA.

    PBA and CharlieHall debate if it’s really a shortage and what the statistics suggest.

    Randomex has been making several attempts to voice his opinion, in as many fonts possible in the verbal language, but mods have their hands over his mouth. Finally he breaks free and says something, I don’t know what, and I don’t think CIJ knows what either, but she LOLs anyway. (Okay, I’ll admit, it did sound funny.)

    Eftach just stands there, smiling. It’s all too predictable.

    Suddenly, over the din, the reporter shuffles his papers and says, “wait a second I forgot…this connects to this week’s parsha, because that’s when animal consumption became permitted for mankind.” And, just like that, the question takes on a whole new meaning.

    On second thought, I think laughing is altogether not classy, and I’ll stick with smiles. (I have a whole variety of smiles, and if I may say so myself, they’re a real good selection. No silly smiles, no toothless smiles…Yes, kay”h I’ve been blessed in that department. I mean in a lot of departments.)

    Every character attribute is meant to bring out the best in him/her. So, even if I’m wrong, there’s no need ti get insulted. (BTW, I may have not analyzed PAA correctly)

    So I’m walking down the road and bump into Randomex, or more accurately, he bumped into me because he was dancing and I don’t know what. Or, if he’s a girl, she was just waving her emerald sword, and I said “Hi” and s/he said something pretty undecipherable, with a song to go along as well,

    and as we’re shmoozing along comes the lamedvuvnik and CIJ. The latter says how nice it is we’re all here together and lamedvuvnik is in his own world, just garbling about whatever seems to enter his mind, indifferent to what every else is thinking.

    And Little Froggie bounces in, livens things up a bit. And then we see PAA (who quickly stuffs a CD in his pocket, but too late. I already see it says oitzar hachochma.) and demands why everyone is standing around if we could sit down. And then things get heated very quickly, everyone weighing the cons and pros of standing. And as more guys come, the argument gets more and more heated and less and less followable and I’m ambivalent about joining the fascinating complexities in pointless arguments, versus the simple tranquility of the side conversations, so I do a little of both, or maybe a little of neither. And then suddenly, a voice makes us jump. We hadn’t noticed the figure behind the tree, but there he is, saying, “Hi. I’m alive.” and we all turn and see that it’s the mod. So we all wave back and say, “we’re alive, too,” and resume the conversations. Except for some people who continue talking with the mod, I have no idea what about (I mean, he is alive, no?)

    Wrong, because, failing to find a suitable vort on that week’s parsha, speakers will resort to previous weeks or future weeks. Would people space in this week to parshas lech l’cha more than parshas tazria?

    “Actually, online, someone can choose to project a certain identity if they want to, just for fun, in a way which might not be quite as feasible in real life. Just saying. :)”

    I don’t want to cause machlokes, but it seems to me that the ribono shel olam bentched everyone with their own personality and their own ma’alos–and everyone, I mean everyone, is special the way they are–and it doesn’t seem like anyone would change that, even “for fun”.

    And sometimes people feel if only they would have been created differently, if only they would be smarter, or funnier, or anything, then it would be much bettter. But the truth is that hashem knows what’s best for us, and he’s there looking out for us, always.
