Welcome back mexipal… you havent been visible much recently. Stick around. BTW what did your name mean. I think you once explained in a name thread but I do not remember your answer
Popa I fear you made an uncharacteristic error. The lamb at Pesach had to be ‘ben shana’ which means up to a year old (Rashi). Have you ever seen a lamb of that age? They are skinny little things. There was not much chance of having left over. To the contrary, many families did not have enough. There would certainly not have been much chance of having lamb chops left overs for a long period of time!
Why did YOU choose YOUR screenname and, if its not obvious, what does it mean? Mine – I worked hard for it and won it.
Eclipse For sharing her unparalleled wit, insights, life story and level headedness in so many threads and posts. She was the greatest thread starter ever. The cr front page was constantly changing and moving with fantastic new threads until she gave up her laptop. (Does anyone have any news from her since she left?)
Mod 80 What can I say? How should I begin? There are many mods doing a great, thankless job here and doing it well. But he interacted so much and so well that this made him stand out. And stand out in such an original way with a sharp humor, turning many threads into lols.
We miss both and would love occasional hellos and updates!
??? ??? Happy Cranuka Goq ??? ???
my husband (oops – can’t remember his screen name
So Gefen, does your subtitle “Comes here for family time!” mean that you come here when you want to talk to your husband and need reminding of his name…??? ?
anyone who doesn’t vote for mod 95 will be banned
Oh so now I understand that other thread where they said that they wanted ‘The CR Banned’ to be at the party to play music and which instruments could everyone play… ☺
If donuts once a year would be our fate
Then we still would not gain too much weight
But Blinky you’re mistaken
For its not just once we’re bakin’
And we dont only keep 7 days but 8!
Onegoal I just opened this thread for the first time and I cant believe it. You’ve been a great part of the coffee room for a while and it is a loss for us not to have you around as much. Sad sniff. But if you want to catch up on the happenings of the coffee room then I’ll give you another cr posting tip. Type in
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/page/2
or
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/page/3
etc to see what you have missed. We look forward to seeing you around!
It was a great party until bobbie burned the latkes and uncle hymie started singing maoz tzur. What a mistake! Then these trolls kept gate crashing and it took all of Jothar’s security men to keep control. And the drasha was a disaster – it was all Greek to me. I wanna go home now. Goq can i hitch a ride home in the welcome wagon?
V’ALCOHOL anachnu modim lach
BaalHabooze I love it! My first Purim Torah this year and boy oh boy it’s a cracking one! Now if you can think of one to do with chanuka it would be de-light-ful.
From Lieutenant-Kernel Shticky;
The corny glutton for pun-ishment
cuz then PBA would really be in the news 😉
miritchka lol very witty!
Donuts sell like hotcakes. Now there’s a thought!
I go for all flavor donuts eg caramel, jelly, fresh cream etc but then I enjoy interesting fillings also so I like my wife to make eg pistachio, mint, lime pineapple and any other crazy ideas that I concoct. The kids also like strawberry, cherry etc.
?? ??? ????…
I’m confused. What would you be embarrassed to appear there that you were happy to post here in the first place? Its not as if you use your real name. Do you?
Or you can join
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/looking-to-start-boro-park-knitting-group
and try your luck
let’s make the longest thread possible!!
Let me do my part to help you. I can lend you my pet tarantula…
Flatbush Dude, Flatbush Dude dont fall for BaalHabooze. He’s a one track minded alcoholic. You should have realized when he talks about a 9th day for the yomtov dirabonon chanuka cos of sfeika diyoma that all he really wants is an extra second day on the other yomtov dirabonon of PURIM!! ☺
The ???? ??? says that the yevanim wanted to be ???? the ???? so we light 36 lights corresponding to the 36 ?????? ???”? .
The ??????? says that ????? stands for ?’ ????? ????? ???? ??? that we light 1-8 lights like ???? ??? and not 8-1 like ???? ????? . It must be apparent each day that we are lighting according to ???? ???. So if we would light on only 7 nights, then on the 4th day both ???? ??? and ????? ????? would hold that 4 lights are lit, so we would not be able to tell from walking past menorahs who we pa?s?ken like. (and the ??’ ?????? part would not fit in!)
We are commemorating one of many nissim that happened in the beis hamikdosh eg that no yevonim died there which would have made the kohanim and the oil tamei (divrei yoel) which explains ‘????? ??? ‘?????? ; also that the menora was lit from fire from the ???? which suddenely appeared to give them fire from a holy source which was a necessity for the menora ; to remember the ness of Yehudis ; that they used some of the oil for the ner maaravi ; that the heichal was full of idols so they had to light in the ???? and even though it was Fri nite it did not rain and the wind did not blow out the flames.
an uncle marrying a niece
That is a much more extreme case and usually implies that they are of similar age so more like cousins anyway.
I know of a case where this happened. You can look at it in many ways: the choson who was the youngest of a very large family, married his niece (his oldest brother’s daughter) who was his age. So (a) His brother became his father in law!! (Can he still call him by his first name?) and (b) looking at it from his parents viewpoint, their son married their granddaughter making their oldest son into their mechutan, and when pg the young couple have kids, they are both their grandchildren and great grandchildren simultaneously. The choson’s siblings (kallah’s uncles & aunts) become her brothers/sisters in law, while the kallah’s siblings (choson’s nieces/nephews) become his brothers/sisters in law. What a mess!
A warm welcome back to BaalHabooze
I was sorry to hear of your news
That your son he was ill
And was in hospital until
You came back here to share out your views
During your absence I can say
That I also have stayed away
Because I was depicted
As being addicted
A title which really doesnt pay
So for now I just occasionally lurk
And get on with my life and my work
It was a great fight
To keep off this site
Which brings knowledge and many a smirk
Now for some limericks, aha
Apart from the weekly Parsha
We can write of the glory
Of the ancient story
Of the festival we call Chanuka
It was an amazing battle
The mighty Greek army did rattle
Antiyochus the thug
Overlooked an oil jug
And of this great Nes we do prattle
That amongst the great fighting and turmoil
That did the Beis Hamikdosh embroil
When the Maccabees did yearn
For pure shemen to burn
They discovered a sealed jug of oil
If its a family gathering then its fine cause seeing as their fathers will also be there, the daughters will for sure be covering their faces, in which case it makes it beseder for the male cousins to attend…
Anybody remember http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/should-boy-and-girl-cousins-talk-to-each-other ?
Blonde Musician: Did you hear my last recital? Friend: I hope so!
A blonde guy calls the hospital. You gotta help me he says my wife’s gone into labor. The nurse says calm down calm down, is this her first child? He says no its her husband.
Did you hear of the blonde who studied for her blood test and failed?
Why did the blonde put lipstick on her forehead? She wanted to make up her mind.
What did the blonde do when she missed the last 44 bus? She took the 22 bus twice.
While waiting at a cross walk for the light to change, a blonde asked why the signal was buzzing. When she was told it was to let blind people know when the light was red she replied “What in the world are blind people doing driving”.
Did you hear of the near tragedy at the mall? The power went off for 5 hours leaving twelve blondes stranded on their way to the 2nd floor on the escalator.
Why do they always lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? ☺
What do smart blondes and UFOs have in common? You always hear about them but nobody has ever actually seen one.
The top Blonde inventions: solar powered flashlights, mesh umbrellas, braille driving manuals, helicopter ejection seats, wooden barbecues, battery powered battery chargers, left handed pencils, clear correction fluid, waterproof tea bags, fireproof matches, glow in the dark sunglasses.
Why arent blondes hired for elevator jobs? They keep stopping to ask for directions.
This blonde returned her new scarf to the store. She said it was too tight.
Did you hear of the blonde who got an AM radio? It took her a month to realize she could also use it at night.
IMO Jothar is 100% correct to warn/remind us that we should always bear in mind that some posters are coming from a very different viewpoint or standard of yiddishkeit. That’s if that was what he was doing. But he wasnt. Read the OP again. He was just wondering why such a person would WANT to post on Yeshiva World (and for sure why he posted here on shabbos if that is true). A very innocent question. But one that has lead, yet again, to a thread full of bad feelings and accusations. This is not the place it used to be!
OneOfMany: the way you wrote that binary joke, it looks like you havent understood it. No wonder you posted it in the worst jokes thread when in fact it is a very clever joke. It should read: There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.
If you dont get the difference you dont know what binary is.
We daven in a nusach sefard shul and once after shacharis a guy asked us why we had not said tachnun. My father in law replied “hello, it is thursday!”
And of course we are all still awaiting to unleash the Mother of all Welcomes to dear Am Yisrael Chai. He may be peeping in from time to time so lets keep up the pressure! Come on AYC. All is forgiven even if never forgotten. You were absolutely vindicated. Exonerated. And we need you back. In your own name. So come. We’ll have the biggest ywn party ever! Drinks on me! The ball’s in your court now and we’ve been much poorer in your extended absence. In fact its the lack of posters like AYC and Mod 80 who helped me kick my cr habit, but now we need to get you re-addicted! Just come back! Wont you?
Welcome Back Derech Hamelech and Daas Yochid!!! Two of the greatest posters ever
How to fight CR addiction
It needs just willpower. I’ve fought CR addiction for two weeks now – I have not been here at all for two weeks (has anyone noticed) besides to say happy cranniversary to goq. I’ll come back when I no longer get cravings. And I can feel that coming soon so maybe I’ll be back this or next week. Looking forward!
Goq? First anniversary? I agree. There must be a mistake. But I just checked your profile and there isnt. I thought you’d been here for years. Well mazeltov and congratulations!! Many happy returns (which is what many large stores get the first trading day after xmas).
Truth is you should be honored. I decided to take a coffee break and have not posted all week. Then I decided to take a peek to see what I was missing and between my fingers I could make out this title. So how can I not post here. Well done Goq! May you pass many milestones IRL also iyh!
Who is the oldest active member?
Well Goq keeps complaining that he’s old (though we’d never tell from his humor) but he’s not very active so that rules him out. Shame. But there are several grandparents here so they will do. Maybe OldMan?
Where’s Baal Habooze?
Oh there he goes again. You have your Dolt hat on, dont you 42. There’s no such poster as Baal Habooze. It’s BaalHabooze. And do you know the difference? One is spaced out and one is not. Which is why you davka should not have made this error on Goq’s thread…
Who remembers Dr Monis Q Jefferson OBM?
Goq you’ve been here for too long not to know this but I will answer it anyway.
Go to
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/xxxxxx
replace xxxx with required name and any spaces in the name with “-“
This is assuming they have not changed their username since joining otherwise you will not find it. EG Goq yours is
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/thegoq
with no space between ‘the’ and ‘goq’ as that is how you joined, otherwise it would be
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/the-goq
as it appears now
No way. I’m more of a long time lurker. The most frequent: only cr oldies will get this. Has a Q as a middle name and used to be a doctor…
But thanks for the warning. I have been here too much. Apart from cr shomrim there should be a cr addiction squad. I should really take a break. I may meet old friends outside like mod 80 and AYC. Now if I could only remember the way out…
Mods my previous post was misunderstood. I put my point in a shticky and therefore unclear way. Goq asked to be founder and president of the cr WELCOME wagon, and you awarded him founder and wheels of the cr wagon. Although he is one of the long standing posters here, he is not founder of the cr wagon but of the cr welcome wagon. So I wrote that his subtitle was ‘unwelcoming’. Never mind.
Oh my Shticky! Thanks for pointing that out. I originally thought you interpreted wheels as a fifth wheel kind of thing!
The Goq
Mods can u change my subtitle to Founder and President of the Coffee Room Welcome Wagon thank you.
The founder and wheels of the CR wagon!
Mods: Your new subtitle for The Goq is unwelcoming…
ok I changed it. I meant it in a good way- as in he keeps the CR rolling along!
A warm welcome to Minyan Gal. Was it lack of time or your back that kept you away for a while?
skiaddict: The editor is looking for sponsors to pay for 10 full time moderators to be on 24/6. Until he finds them, be happy with the ones now doing it for no pay who do their best and get complaints aplenty in return. If you dont like this, go ski.
BaalHabooze welcome to Limericks
You fellow full of liqor and tricks
Its a great thread although
Of late its been real slow
So come here and your name we’ll affix
“We express EACH DAY in prostration”?
That was a puzzling revelation
We prostrate just a smidgen
Unlike another religion
Boy, I’m real glad for this limitation
Unless you were thinking of ‘bow’
More than that my back wont allow
Without some exercise
I will agonize
My body will protest, and how
Minyan Gal, Smartcookie and Blinky
Without you this thread it did shrinky
If I give you a poke
Will you think it’s a joke
Or will you come turn this page from a dinky
I will be honest that until I saw this thread I had not realised. I would have eventually. Glad you are back. Your personality sure has a cutting edge to it
Well, the person who loves doing acts of kindness the most is ayc himself. Look how many kindnesses he has done here in the coffeeroom!
So I will say this LOUD AND CLEAR: AYC if you really are reading this, please do us the ultimate act of kindness and POST IN!
The mod did say when he temporarily blocked you that he was sure it was a mistake and that by the next week we would all be laughing about it. So make us laugh… POST IN!
Maybe she was really Joseph or another middle age stalker and has been blocked?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on, gummy, prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew it! I got a reply after asking the posters! Thanks RB, its a gr8 svara, a real brisk one, baby. And it may even be true. We dont know. Would someone pls contact duvys and find out if this is the accurate reason and whether it can be rectified… Thx. (I am asking this of all editors, mooderators and jothar ☺.)
Yes to see that beautiful poem by ken zayn was real heartening. But I still would have prefered it to have been written by Am Yisrael Chai…
