I expect some make-up fun from you by the end of the day.
That means before 5:30 pm. I go to sleep early.
The 5 second rule has been proven scientifically.
Keep in mind that the 5 second rule applies to a random location. In your own home it is safe to assume a higher level of cleanliness than in say, Grand Central Terminal. Thus, in your own home the 30 second rule applies.
popa
I don’t know if you did or didn’t. It’s my revenge for the time that you loudly assumed I am married. I was simply biding my time, my friend.
Helpful,
Your comment is coming at me from left field. The truth is not the concern here, it’s spreading of the story that bothers me. If 3 people know a piece of loshon harah and then you forward it to all your email contacts, is that not a sin? Does that not increase the impact of the chillul hashem caused by the story?
I consider it sadly ironic that people are posting the link publicly- spreading the chillul hashem by calling attention to what a chillul hashem the story is.
Time to put action to everyone’s words. If you want a shidduch to happen through the internet then you’ve got to make one happen.
It seems that popa is running scared now. But I won’t give up- zuchin l’adam she’lo b’fanav. I will act on popa’s behalf.
Sacrilege- do you accept?
Nu popa…. time to pop the question
I don’t understand why this has gone viral with frum people. Isn’t it defeating the “purpose” (or “moral”) of the story by spreading the chillul hashem/loshon harah?
LOL, BPT
Easy. Now excuse me while I go into hiding for the next 90 days to earn 3 stars.
Chocolate is off limits too?
Cabernet Sauvignon?
Cognac?
What about cholera in Haiti?
X-mas also starts with a “C”, is that off limits now?
I guess you can add that to the “If you were a Mod” thread
Please post the reward redemption policy
All rulers are slaves
Of course not. One of the brothers was sent back to this world as a dybbuk to atone for his heinous sin. He told it to Rav CENSORED
What does a man have to gain by trapping his wife in a marriage she doesn’t want?
Power. A feeling of importance.
The suggestion to play board games is a good one, but with one problem: Since you all have to be in the same place in order to play the game, all but one of the girls will need to leave their house to get together. The Rambam says….
Ask a life insurance underwriter 🙂
Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
I didn’t realize that were we being asked to suggest alternatives to bourbons and single malts. In that case, I suggest Apple Juice.
Popa, what are you saying? If frum men are not allowed to work in yeshivos ktana then where are they allowed to work?
Sacrilege is joking (whether it’s true or not), but I agree. The lottery that I won big in is life. I was zoche to be born Jewish, and raised in a frum home. I was zoche to live many happy years. I won a lot that time.
Those other things seem so small.
Feel free to use me as your test subject.
You can make fun of how old fashioned I am, and how stupid you think I am for admiring sporty machines that can be used by people over fat, lazy machines that can only be used by cyborgs (or computer assisted humans). Obviously, not a single person here sees my side of it.
Or get more personal, if you want. I’m here to make you happy.
Give me a choice of 21 y/o scotch or a bourbon of the same age
We can’t give you that choice, because bourbon is aged only 2 years.
BPT- I don’t see any cars in this thread that are worth a second thought, even the ones mentioned as jokes. The fancy cars of today are just scaled down versions of private jets for the road. There’s no craftmanship to admire, no efficiency to speak of, no willingness to sacrifice some comfort in exchange for high performance. A fast car just has a bigger and fatter engine – what’s the kuntz to get speed out of a 45.6L V64? A “sport” car just has gyroscopes to handle curves while compensating for the imprecise center of gravity – what’s the kuntz to having a computer fix your mistakes? You don’t even feel the road, what with all the super-duper shock absorbers. I’ve test driven quite a few of these, once my car became street illegal, but hated them all.
Like I said, it’s just a road version of the private jet. All show, but nothing admirable. It won’t be long before they start installing jet engines in these cars as the final move of one-up-manship.
Now my MG, that was a car. With a 1 liter engine, but an engine that outperformed. There was a sacrifice in comfort to get the low center of gravity, in the tube-like cockpit, but you were actually driving the car, not computers. That’s the sport of it- getting what you can with as little as you can get away with. Compare it to another sport- would you respect the NBA player who gets computerized joints that auto-correct his jump shots over the natural athletes? Would you respect the baseball player with a spring-loaded bat over the (non-steroid using version of) homerun king?
My last car was a 1951 MG. Now that was a car.
I’d still have it if not for those <foul word> emissions laws.
There was a thread in this vein a few years back that was very successful. (I’m responding to the poster who said that a thread like this won’t take off)
I already know how the story ends, it was in the first and last frum novel I read.
He breaks up to go marry his dream girl. Girl #2 is so devastated and is stuck as a single. Little does she know that while running away from the break up that night she was the sole witness to a heinous crime being perpetrated on a certain car, that caused the death (murder) of an eishes chayyil who drove it the next day…. Many years later though, it all works out because she gets to marry the widower, who happens to be a judge, and who would never have gotten closure if not for this girl being so devastated and accidentally witnessing the crime…. and she lifts up the lechayyim glass to shamayim……
Well, when they arrive, we will have a Chanuka party. Let me know how many donuts I need to bake… er, fry. Only one of you needs baked donuts, right? You bring my chocolate bar.
Uh oh. Didn’t think of that.
Shomeia
How many demerits do I have to collect before I get the chocolate bar?
It goes in a class of its own- well, along with the Torah Zoo.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That tape will haunt you forever. Trust me 🙂
seems that everything that happens is a sign to you to go back to lurking. Maybe it’s you?
Maybe he found the wagon. Clearly, you didn’t.
I left a can of Dr Pepper just under the counter. I pasted a small yellow circle (I cut the sticky part of a sticky note into a circle) after the Dr so that the can said Dr. Pepper. No doubt if he found the wagon he enjoyed my gift.
Probably the thought of standing in the same spot as greatness, only minutes apart, brought on the fear.
Thanks, mypal. Makes sense now. Gotta keep changing things around so that every link breaks after a while.
Lay-chu is new to me. I know a Per-chu, but the Leah is a Lay-le.
Anyway, it wasn’t my list of choices, so don’t blame me. Blame a mod 😉
Here’s the video of last time
LINK REMOVED BY MODERATOR
Seriously folks, nothing is happening until Sunday
Do you deny that posts were deleted?
That’s because some mod started deleting posts from that thread, mmessing up the link. Yesterday, the post I referenced was on page 3 and now it’s on page 2.
Repost: LINK
I guess the only way you will find out is to be at the airport at 6 am on Sunday, and wait for the ruckus.
I did notice his absence. I don’t think he got nabbed- most likely is that I scared him away.
I just called charlie brown and got to hear his voice mail message. It went something like this:
“Hi, you’ve reached charlie brown. Please start leaving a message at the tone. As you may know, I am a lurker, so in all likelihood after I enjoy listening to the content of your message I will not reply to you at all. Have a nice day!”
popa- you’re right. You wouldn’t want to be around when I go through security.
the TSA in their wisdom seems to have decided that any female in a skirt is probably a terrorist
So men in skirts are OK? I have Scottish friends who would like to know. They’re afraid TSA can’t tell a kilt from a skirt.
popa- me too. 6 am. See you there?
I have no idea what he would do. But I heard that those who asked for a bracha for a “Shira” were told to change the name.
Mod80-
That is a fantastic point. Mesiras nefesh (in the colloquial sense) is a relative term.
Aishes Chayil
ROTFLMKO! I hear the chosson has a wicked stepmother, too. Nebisch.
minyan gal-
A Freudian slip, mayhap?
You mean you haven’t heard this story yet? Apparently, the Rav has told more than one person named Shira to, “Drop the yud”- i.e. change her name to Sara.
BPT- you misunderstood. The name is not Leah.
