    How’s the daf going popa?

    I almost forgot . regular English words only as per the Merriam-Webster dictionary no names , slang, or Yiddish or Hebrew obviously . you have to do it by yourself ( maybe one person can help you)

    If it makes you feel better you should know that researchers found that for every inch above 5 feet you will die 1.3 years earlier

    anyone who can think of a game should start it! games could overlap times. Just if you do make one you should stay out of it

    Ok here we go ! todays first activity is a boggle game . I would recommend a pen or paper to write down your words, or you could just scroll up and down . the game will last 7 minutes from when you start , and the game will close to answers at 2:15 .after all responses are in, a count will be made of the total points for that team . if two members of a team have the same words, they will only be counted once. Answers should be preceded by your team color< then your name for scoring purposes The scoring will be 1 point for a three letter word, 2 points for a 4 letter word ,a five letter word gets 4 points and 6 or higher is two points per letter

    here we go

    in reply to: Forgetting to close the fridge light before Shabbos #1039223

    What do you do on Shabbos if that happens? All the Shabbos food is in the fridge.

    You cannot close the door, as that would turn the light off. Look for a goy

    And how do you make sure it doesn’t happen again (short of keeping it off the whole week)?

    either hang a sign on the fridge ,or tape over the sensor erev shabbos

    One and a half hours to go!!! we still need more people to be on the red team. How about you , mod?

    in reply to: A Grandfathers View On Obama #1097564

    You just quoted the relevant section. Obama: 15 vacations to places he didn’t own. Bush: 51 vacations to his ranch.

    No, I was quoting YOUR obfuscation of the facts. How YOU tried sliding numbers from a year ago by saying that they were “just compiled”

    51 is greater than 15.

    You are correct about that , but you need to look at A) the fact that you still have to factor in a years worth of vacations B)Obama is spending a lot more on his vacations C) bushes vacations were to Crawford, his house , not Hawaii , or Martha’s vineyard , and there really wasn’t that much of a difference between his regular schedule and his vacation schedule other then change of location , as the yahoo piece that you quoted states and I quote ( Bush sometimes used the property to host world leaders.) D) besides for vacations Obama seems to have a knack for ignoring world crises to go on one of his many fundraisers . (remember how bush was pilloried for saying ” now watch this drive” after denouncing a suicide bombing).

    I had secular education.

    Not sure where that comes in but you can be sure that we are all very proud of you ( And by the way , your secular education might have taught you that the correct sentence would be I had A secular education” not I had secular education.)

    So goq, do you want to be on red?

    You my dear goq, are an apikoires

    in reply to: A Grandfathers View On Obama #1097563

    You could talk , type, and copy-and-paste from today until tomorrow. those who have drunk the liberal-topian kool -aid have a mental block to cogent thought. you could bring as many proofs as you’d like and they will chime in with the classic alinsky-ite platitudes and class warfare tactics. They are like the sheep in animal farm “four legs good,two legs bad! four legs good, two legs bad! four legs good, two legs bad!

    in reply to: what do you think? #1027708

    What type of girl is your sister? if it is a real issue, and you are close enough, would you be able to bring up the inyan in conversation with her and discuss it ? (without letting her know that you read your email)

    in reply to: Deep sayings #1029179

    I know the voices in my head aren’t real….. but sometimes their ideas are just absolutely awesome!

    I’m not clumsy! The floor just hates me, the table and chairs are bullies, and the walls get in my way.

    The ideal man doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, doesn’t do drugs, doesn’t swear, doesn’t get angry, doesn’t exist.

    You know you are getting old when the candles on your birthday cake start to cost more than the cake itself.

    Everybody wants to go to heaven; but nobody wants to die

    You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.

    He who laughs last didn’t get it.

    A balanced diet means a cupcake in each hand.

    I love my computer because all my friends live inside it!

    A cookie a day keeps the sadness away. An entire jar of cookies a day brings it back.

    It doesn’t matter how low the dollar will go, I will always bend down and pick it up

    If your wife wants to learn to drive, don’t stand in her way. ( I know this to be true from personal experience)

    Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it.

    All generalizations are false, including this one

    You know your driving is really terrible when your GPS says ‘After 300 feet, stop and let me out!’

    Better then being stupid AND not being able to make up your mind (independent)

    ok the teams will be peach Snapple = yellow Vs.. raspberry Snapple= red, whoever wants to join should write their name plus their team color that they have chosen (red or yellow) First activity will be posted by me at or about 1200 pm tomorrow, and after that activity , by all means if you want to participate in making activities by all means do so. There is also a open casting call for a MOD or one of the big, serious posters who wouldn’t deign to join a actual team to be judges so I don’t have to

    in reply to: If You Had Access to the CR Administration… #1029070

    I was also wondering. but that’s a good thing because it gives me some time to think about what I am writing before I post

    PM in the afternoon I assume everyone is fine with New York time?

    Bush 43: 58 trips, 349 vacation days

    Obama: 15 trips, 96 vacation days

    You are either intentionally trying to deceive us or you are just way to deep in the Kool-Aid .

    here is the direct quote from yahoo news, guess you were too excited as to notice a small detail such as the date

    As of Aug. 13, 2013, Obama is on his 15th vacation trip, covering all or part of 96 days total. He’s spending this vacation in Martha’s Vineyard with his family.

    in reply to: If You Had Access to the CR Administration… #1029064

    in reply to: A Grandfathers View On Obama #1097546

    The opening post is probably a ginned-up phoney story from a right-wing political activist or right-wing paid operative

    No, it’s a representation of the landscape of American society, and the effect certain policy decisions have on Real-world, Americans life

    in reply to: Rabbi Yitzchak Kimmel #1027748

    Are you guys trying to say that he is lying about his supernatural abilities?

    yes

    Another question we should discuss is amount of events per day, as well as what time of day and the duration of those events. For , instance on Sunday we have a lot of time so we could probably schedule a bunch of things throughout the day, but Monday or Tuesday we have to make a schedule

    in reply to: You have two cows #1106711

    The New York cows one isn’t nice. It’s old, and is calling Hillary Clinton a cow.

    Remember, cow here is used by way of analogy . It in no way is meant to insinuate that any person, turtle, or pet rock, male or female , is in fact a bovine. However if you would like to take it as meaning such, I cant stop you

    in reply to: Davening from a Siddur #1027509

    I believe he meant any where besides a siddur or object that will aid in the quality of ones davening

    as a famous quote attributed to mark twain says

    in reply to: A Grandfathers View On Obama #1097544

    and at his own murderers trial he would probably be a witness for the defense if he would somehow be brought to life… well maybe not, we all know a liberal is just a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet

    It was a rant about fakers in general, regarding rabbi kimmel I hold as the esteemed wolf does

    in reply to: You have two cows #1106704

    ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them.

    EUGENISM: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves

    REALISATIONALISM: You have two cows. They are for their calves, their milk was never meant for human consumption!

    REDISTRIBUTIONISM: You have two cows. Everyone should have the same amount of cow. The government takes both cows, cuts them up, and spends more than the cows are worth giving everyone a little piece of cow.

    SOCRATIC METHODISM: How many cows do I have? Why?

    ARISTOCRATISM: You have two cows. You sell both and buy one really big cow – with a pedigree.

    ARTIST — VISUAL: You have two cows. You stuff them and put them in glass display boxes. In London.

    NEW YORK CORPORATION: You have fifteen million cows. You have to choose which one will be the leader of the herd, so you pick some cow from Arkansas.

    POLISH CORPORATION: You have two bulls. Employees are regularly maimed and killed attempting to milk them

    CAPITALISM — INTERVENTIONIST: You have two cows. you sell one and buy a bull; you then sell all the excess milk to the government who in turn ships it to fascist and communist governments

    CAPITALISM – WALL STREET: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the 2 cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.

    I may have done some twice, pardon me

    in reply to: Coffee Room Color War #1027444

    Can we get this started again? it would be the best way to get us out of this late-summer coffee room snooze-a-thon. I think we should have a 3 day colour war starting on Sunday, with the days in between dedicated to discussing logistics such as teams, judges , colours, and activities / contests. I think there should be a fun side to it as well as a yedios /torah side of it. who’s in?

    in reply to: Women Cleaning #1027251

    PURE SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. You have to take care of all the cows. The government gives you as much milk as you need.

    BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else’s cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and as many eggs as the regulations say you should need.

    BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. After that it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.

    PURE COMMUNISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.

    APPLIED COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

    REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.

    AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair “Cowgate”.

    BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them sheeps’ brains and they go mad. The government doesn’t do anything.

    CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

    HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt / equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows’ milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the fung shui is bad.

    ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them.

    TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned

    POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are associated with (the concept of “ownership” is a symbol of the chauvinistic, warmongering, intolerant past) two differently-aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of nonspecified gender.

    COUNTERCULTURE: Wow, dude, there’s like… these two cows, man. You have *got* to have some of this milk. I mean totally.

    SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

    INSURANCISM: You have two cows. The Federal regulator requires you to hold one cow in reserve because they predict a shortage of milk. The Provincial/State regulator requires you to drop the price of milk because they predict a surplus of milk. The courts deem your cows inherently dangerous and order you to provide free milk to anyone who has ever been frightened by a farm animal. The marketing people are promising chocolate milk at an enhanced commission and you discover your own actuaries have been building pricing models assuming goats instead to save on the expense line.

    THERAPYISM: You have two cows. One is a metaphor for your inner child. The other is the manifestation of anger toward a parental figure. You take one of the cows on walks through grassy fields by the gentle ocean waves. The other you beat with an anger bat.
