Yashi and PemberMember
MODS Could you at the very least change this very offensive thread title. HaShem doesn’t like it, the very least bit. I guarantee you.
Thanks. (a member of this smart nation)
And another thing, Froggo; apparently I’m not the only one…the Moderator doesn’t seem to think much of your guarantee about what G-d does and doesn’t like, either!
Yashi and PemberMemberFroggieMan:
You don’t have to consult me, you just have to open the closest chumash (that’s the bible). And there’s no Man upstairs, He’s a Being beyond any mortal’s comprehension. And I do happen to have a direct connection to Him, I talk DIRECTLY to him at least thrice daily. And He has no problem with my screen name, if anything’s the problem it’s the time I’m wasting <GOTTA GO>
I actually do have to consult you, because when I look in the Chumash, it doesn’t say anything about me not calling Jews crazy, and when I aks (that’s Urban for “ask”) Him directly, (I talk to Him at least thrice a day too you see; sometimes even frice or more!) He doesn’t respond. So please, put in a good word for me and tell Him I love Him and everything, but I’d like to know how much of the nonsense that goes on in this crazy (yes, completely crazy, insane, over-the-top loony-tune) community has anything to do with what he originally had in mind for his ostensible “Am Segula” and get back to me, will ya? And while you’re at it aks Him something else: if LittleFroggie is okay, How about LittlePiggie? Did you know that in many Chabad households treif animals (stuffed lions, elephants, Alligators on the kids’ PJs, etc) are all verboten? Was that His idea, too?
PS I hope you realize I’m just yanking your chain a little, brother…try and relax a bit, okay?
Yashi and PemberMemberPlease don’t get me started on Rabbi Miller, because the moderator will never allow my comments to be posted.
You are 100% correct on that one
Yashi and PemberMemberIf there’s no “Man Upstairs,” why do we call Him “Him?” If “ein Lo d’mus haguf” and there’s no gender involved, why don’t we call G-d “It?”
Yashi and PemberMemberFrogster: It’s so comforting to know that whenever I’m in doubt about what G-d might or might not be offended by, all I need to do is consult with you, since you apparently have a direct pipeline to The Man Upstairs. So am I correct in assuming that He has no problem with one of His ?? ???? ???? being called a “Little Froggie?”
Yashi and PemberMemberNo. It is open to interpretation and you guys should STOP TAKING EVERYTHING SO SERIOUSLY!
Yashi and PemberMemberI wasn’t joking and I’m not apologizing and your reaction is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. Thank you.
Yashi and PemberMemberA: Red paint.
Yashi and PemberMemberI have no comment.
Yashi and PemberMemberWhat’s red and smells like blue paint?
Yashi and PemberMemberYeah, on second thought, you’re right. What was I thinking??
Yashi and PemberMemberIf I had a giant yellow beetle, I’d name him Lingo, but only if he played the dlums.
Yashi and PemberMemberTruth be told until it was brought up in the FJJ I was totally
unaware that there were Halachic ramifications involved in hospice care. B”H my siblings and I were never put in a situation where we had to consider it as an option. Long story short, I stayed out of it for two reaons. First, because I didnt feel I had anything of particular significance to contribute to the conversation (yeah, I know; that never stopped me before), and second because it was obviously an issue that stirred deep passions in people who had been there and since I have a tendency to be a bit acid-tongued occasionally (in case you hadn’t noticed), I thought that rather than hurt someone’s feelings needlessly, it would be better if I just stayed out of it entirely.
Yashi and PemberMemberThe actual line was “don’t kiss your grandfather,” but thanks, anyway. 🙂
Yashi and PemberMemberThank you Mr. Psych, but to give credit where credit is due, “Hey Rebbe, Rebbe” was written by Moshe Brown.
Yashi and PemberMemberDunno.
Yashi and PemberMemberYes, I did.
Yashi and PemberMemberThinking about starting a blog.
Yashi and PemberMemberRE: My parakeet. A better question would have been “what was his name?”
Yashi and PemberMemberAnd where exactly shall I do that?
Yashi and PemberMemberAre you kidding? Ya’ated is ever worse!
Yashi and PemberMemberFYI: I met Mordy today and he told me that there are some Rabbonim in Flatbush who are pressuring him not to publish ANY of my letters, period. Apparently they don’t think people should be allowed to laugh a little on Shabbos. They don’t want any of what they consider “letzonis” in the FJJ. Frankly I have a good mind to just chuck the whole enterprise. I don’t want to be in middle of a machlokes; it’s simply not worth the aggravation.

Yashi and PemberMemberChas V’shalom, no need to apologize. Obviously you don’t know me either, but I decided long ago that many Jews, certainly not all, have gone completely, totally bonkers. Unfortunately many of them reside here in Flatbush, so it’s sometimes difficult for me to remember that the “new-chumrah-of-the-week” crowd does not represent Judaism-at-large and is certainly not what the Ribono Shel Olam intended or wants. And while I kinda, sorta joke about joining another religion, one where the only requirement is dancing around all day in a saffron robe, leider, leider I’ll betcha a majority of their members are formerly Jewish kids who found our beautiful, uplifting yiddishkeit too restrictive and tragically left the fold.
Yashi and PemberMemberLittle Froggie: Who says I was joking?
PS: Lighten up!
Yashi and PemberMemberI think I’ll convert to Hare Krishna. Or Breslov.
Yashi and PemberMemberI was in Harrico Pharmacy today and there was a discussion going on regarding kosher l’pesach batteries. You can’t make this stuff up.
Yashi and PemberMemberDear Eli Bolevnik,
While I did indeed criticize Reb Chatzkel (dad?), I did so only because he left himself wide open to criticism by mocking his own loyal readers. As far as imitation being the greatest form of flattery, I’ll have you know that I do not imitate anyone. I’ve been writing verse for the better part of fifty years and I’d match my work line for line against anyone who’s ever held a pen or punched a keyboard. Also, I find it totally inappropriate for you to refer to me as a “glorified jerk.” I did not resort to name calling and it’s frankly quite infantile for you to resort to that level of insult.
PS By the way, the word in your last verse that you spelled
y-o-u-r should have been spelled y-o-u-‘r-e. No need to thank me.
Hatzlacha and Chag Kosher V’someach!
Yashi and PemberMemberI might be Chimlobuni. Then again, I might not.
Yashi and PemberMemberI sent in a letter; they chose not to print it. Hey, can someone please tell me how to start a thread?
Yashi and PemberMemberCan someone please tell me how to start a thread?
March 27, 2014 12:06 pm at 12:06 pm in reply to: Random thread: Rocky Zweig, Purim, and writing #1120151Yashi and PemberMemberHey, I’m pretty new at this, Can someone tell me how to post? Thanks.
-Rocky
Yashi and PemberMemberDon’t know about him, but I’m a guy. Last time I checked, anyway.
Yashi and PemberMemberWell, seeing as how it was like what, 50 degrees today? I’m reconsidering. 🙂
Yashi and PemberMemberWell excuuuuuuuuse me!
Yashi and PemberMemberApparently.
Yashi and PemberMemberIs “interesting” in that sentence a euphemism?
Yashi and PemberMemberIt’s not that I don’t like editorial boards. It’s that I’ve been writing these stupid letters for four years and I still can’t figure out their parameters.
Yashi and PemberMemberJust so you all know: I was NOT responsible for the “?” between the words “happy” and “bachelor.” The editorial board, in its infinite wisdom, chose to add that particular punctuation. When I questioned Mordy about it, he said “The Rabbi” insisted on it. Will someone please explain all this to me before my head explodes?
Yashi and PemberMemberPopa Bar Abba: This week’s letter is (supposed to be) funny. If you’re still in Brooklyn, pick up a copy, or you can always read it at:
Good Shabbos!
No external links
Yashi and PemberMemberOh, that.
Yashi and PemberMemberBest Bubby; Don’t forget “I’ve got a secret.”
Yashi and PemberMemberDo you like cheese?
Yashi and PemberMemberHow did I do that?
Yashi and PemberMemberTake away that one sentence and there is nothing wrong with his article. That said, let’s not throw around the “kefirah” word so cavalierly.
Yashi and PemberMemberYo momma so fat, when she sit aroun’ de house, she sit AROUN’ de house!
Yashi and PemberMemberMaybe if I spread the joke out over a few posts the moderator WHO SHOULD REALLY CUT ME SOME SLACK will be asleep at the wheel and let it pass.
Yashi and PemberMemberYou realize, of course, you’re both showing your age.
Yashi and PemberMemberYeah, they censored another one about a
who crosses the road to put
on the
.Yashi and PemberMemberihear: Okay, you’ve got me. I’ll come clean. I am indeed an imposter. Now would you please write something funny?
