    Hi eclipse. Yes your new sub name is in response to the comment you made on the coffee oscars thread. (Post 202862 – Wow! I remembered how to find the post numbers!)

    I think its a nice, humorous and really clever name. Kol hakavod. You deserve a sub name! (Would you have prefered Prolific Thread Opener?)

    When i used the words pen and bemuse

    Some poetic license I did use

    I really meant bemusement

    And provided amusement

    To guys with decaffeinated views

    Bemuse is so different to behead

    There was nothing wrong with what I said

    On this there’s no pikpuk

    Go learn English dikduk

    Or revise with a dictionary instead!

    But I must say you gave me a smile

    Which lasted for oh quite a while

    You guys are tremendous

    Absolutely stupendous

    As limerick upon limerick you pile

    Yes I do always write with a pen

    My poetry on a paper and then

    I send it by mail

    As quick as a snail

    And attempt it on my dial up again

    Why you think I live in old history

    Is really one gigantic mystery

    You call me old fashioned

    Cos my ink it is rationed

    My brother you’re not acting sister-y

    Its quite funny. On my screen, all I saw of the title of this thread was “Amazing story with a well”.

    I thought it was to do with a well of water, maybe about eliezer and rivka or the be’er miryam etc.

    I think that chayav inish the alcoholic

    Was having a bit of a frolic

    What is (s)he really

    A bochur or a Bubby

    When (s)he posts in those lims astronomic

    (S)he earned the sub name of Tipsy

    By posting like a wild gypsy

    But a woman I think

    Should change her best drink

    To Evian, 7 Up or Pepsi

    Is (s)he a super pretender

    When (s)he writes as from the other gender

    Its not what (s)he depicted

    When I thought (s)he’s addicted

    To whiskey. I dunno. I surrender!

    We’re approaching the month(s) of Adar

    Our best part of the year, by far

    A time of great joy

    Be prepared for the normal and bizarre.

    When we all go out in costume

    No one knows whom is whom

    They dance in with a twirl

    But is it boy or girl

    We dont know, we can only assume.

    A group of 80 came drinking hard stuff

    And cigarettes they did light up and puff

    Shlishi: I know that this has been posted before. Did you read my OP where I wrote that there are similar threads saying the same thing? Its not my link.

    My whole point was that too many posters either didnt know about this search or knew but couldnt find it! The old search at the top of the page is for the entire YWN and not limited to the CR.

    So i opened a thread where I posted the URL in the OP and asked for it to be made a sticky letovas hatzibur.

    I cant believe it! My idea has been listened to and my thread is now on the top of the cr! I’m famous!

    SO SHTICKY IS NOW A STICKY!

    I did it purely for the good of the coffeeroom and hope that many of you will now have a better coffeeroom experience because of it.

    I know how frustrating it is not to be able to find a topic and I sometimes posted in on a topic only so that I should be able to find the thread in the future by clicking on my posting history!

    Yes a sticky means that the topic will stay permanently at the top of the cr board like the tehillim, divrei torah and Rules threads.

    This has been requested before several times , but the mods have been so far unable or unwilling to listen to the democratic will of the posters.

    I’m trying to organise a million man march and rally on this, and hope someone starts a new thread called the YWN crisis and shiduchim (which is solely to discuss this YWN dictatorship crisis, and only lists shidduchim to get ppl to open the thread…) Deja vous??

    Seriously, there are too many threads on the same topic in the cr for example on ice cream, yiddish, purim costumes, mens threads, new/old/returning members, rhyming or poetry, identities, names, dates/shidduchim/shidduch jokes/walking girl to door/holding car door for date/funny shidduch stories etc etc.

    So either the same things are being repeated over again which is just pointless and boring, or if they’re new ideas/thoughts, isnt it much better to post them on the old thread???

    Re yishmael, of course reb yishmael was a tanna not amora, silly me. He actually wasnt the only tanna with that name either. And the longest serving kohen gadol who held his position for 80 years and went lifnai v’lifnim into the kodesh hakadashim 80 times on yom kippur was reb yishmael kohen gadol.

    ” But how many people that you know are called zevulun, dan or gad? Far less if any, isnt it… “

    SJSinNYC: I know a Zevulun. My son’s middle name is Dan.

    I know a zevulun also, and have 2 cousins called Dan (not Daniel). I just said its far less common than the other shevatim for some as yet unexplained reason.

    in reply to: Most popular names #734354

    Why are some names very popular while others are not.

    Take the Shevatim for example. Some of the most common names around today are shimon, levi, yehuda, naftali, asher, yosef and binyamin.

    But how many people that you know are called zevulun, dan or gad? Far less if any, isnt it. Whats the reason for this?

    Would anyone consider calling their son yishmael??

    Why do I ask? Cos there was an amora called reb yishmael ben elisha (as brought in the gemara of avraham fried’s song Tanya omar reb yishmael ben elisha).

    Why did elisha choose the name yishmael for his son? And why does nobody call their son yishmael after the heiliger amora reb yishmael?

    Metrodriver would you give your child any name from the torah?

    Would you name your child eg after descendants of shem: arpachshad or lud or aram?

    How about after sons of the shevatim: falu, chetzron, karmi, yachin, tzochar, tola, fuva, sered, yachle’el, shuni, etzbon, yishva, vriah, vecher, ashbel, mupim, chupim, ord, guni, shilem etc.

    Or nesi’im eg chelon, shdeur, tzurishado, elyasaf, pedatzur, achira, etc

    the aleph can allude to the av (father), while the bais can be said to refer to ‘ben’ or son… Hence… there is an allusion to the essential and correct relationship: father-to-son (or mother-to-daughter).

    My wife pointed out that aleph can also stand for ‘aim’ (mother) and the bais can refer to ‘bas’, daughter, hence also alluding to the relationship between mother and daughter, and also in all directions; father to daughter and mother to son seeing as both father and mother begin with aleph while both son and daughter start with beis.

    On abbreviated screen names for Blinky,

    You said you cant have but lets see,

    By your name does appear,

    The sub Blinquie so its clear,

    That from now you’ll be known as BB!

    I was sure when I started my list,

    There would be obvious names that I missed,

    So I apologise,

    To those talented guys,

    It was an oversight I insist!

    So sorry to you chayav inish,

    I re-read my post with astonish,

    I did add you 1st time,

    Then reworded my rhyme,

    I must buy you a bottle of Glenfiddich.

    I did not include minyan gal,

    I wait for her without mazal,

    She has talent real decent,

    But nothing of recent,

    Which is a tremendous chaval.

    Regarding my dear Mod 80,

    He said he finds this thread too weighty,

    So him I did not write,

    Not at all out of spite,

    It is nothing personal, matey.

    Regarding leaving out flatbush dude,

    I’m sorry that I was so rude,

    You have also been quiet,

    A limerick diet?,

    What’s up? Are you not in the mood?

    To anyone else that I missed,

    Its not fair that you I dismissed,

    You are all just great,

    And have added real weight,

    To this thread so keep on and persist.

    Threads of fashion, humor and campaigns,

    I’ll discuss it at length,

    If to read you have strength,

    And you wish to make use of your brains.

    There is one particular thread,

    Where some are just too scared to tread,

    Its for only the gifted,

    Who feel uplifted,

    By showing that they’re miles ahead.

    It must be the limerick competition,

    Where those who have skill and ambition,

    Can prove their great strength,

    By discussing at length,

    Any topic of their own volition.

    So click on it now and peruse,

    And seen our standard,

    You can then try to send us your views.

    To regulars eclipse, oomis and smartcookie,

    most posters inspire,

    And you can admire,

    Latecomers DY and Yossi Z.

    MODS – Its your site and you’re entitled to do as you wish.

    But I’m really suprised that the opening post has been removed. It was very harmless satire that makes a really good and important point in a friendly way.

    Several posters have thought so too (see above).

    Any chance of a retrial please???

    I’m sorry, it was cute, it was funny, it has been posted and deleted a number of times before. It is good satire, it is friendly. But it is inappropriate to use our Holy Avos and Imos for a chuckle, at least on this website.

    Chayav, i like your new subscreen name, cos you havent got the word bepurya (on purim) in your name so it seems you have the chiyuv to be shikur at all times!

    But I’d be really really worried if I were you!! Cos if the Goq, who went from ‘TheGoq’ to ‘The Goq’ earned himself the subscreen name ‘spaced out’ (though just for a short while), then you, who went from ‘chayavinishlivisumay’ to ‘chayav inish livisumay’ should be trembling with fear…
