Who knows this song?
“Step on over to your right – m’yimini michoel. Step on over to your left – m’smoli gavriel. Just one step forward – m’lifanai oriel. Jump and turn – uma’achorai refoel…”
JK Rowling Googled the word “horcrux” before she invented it. It didn’t exist back then.
Mazel tov! May she grow up to be as strange and brilliant as her uncle.
I do that with Snacker Crackers – the salty ones of course. Yum.
Would having popa_bar_abba as a bro-in-law make you happy? He’s probably not as crazy as he sounds in real life. For all we know, pba is a 70 year old lady, purple is too, which would make Purple’s 75 year-old sister a perfect shidduch for popa…
“Scourgify!” She shouted, pointing her wand at the signature on the shoes. The loopy signature blurred a bit but was not washed away. “Oh, well. I was never good with those kinds of spells. You will have to put them on and walk around the lake 40 times while carrying a ram in order to get those signatures off”.
“What are you doing to our shoes?” They asked.
“I have to sign purple shoes every day for 40 days to get my memory back” he responded.
Suddenly, from out of nowhere appeared a woman with spikey purple hair…
That night, the boys used their invisibility tallis to sneak into the dungeons to find their shoes. When they got there, they found a senile old man in turquoise robes signing his loopy signature on their shoes.
I have a perfect solution to this perek shira not working crisis. Let’s have WIY get engaged to Purple’s sister. If WIY isn’t interested, then we’ll give the zchus to yossi_z, we’ve been waiting for him to get engaged for awhile now. And if that fails, there’s always popa ^_^
I heard a story like once that this handicapped guy was about to pull into the only handicapped spot at a Rite Aid. A non-handicapped guy entered the parking lot from the wrong side and got the spot first. The guy said to the angry handicapped driver that he was in a rush and would be “just a minute”. So the handicapped driver blocked him in, called 311, and got out to do his shopping. The guy who stole the spot ended up being parked there for more than “just a minute” while the police came to ticket him. I don’t know if that was the right thing to do (or if either character in the story was Jewish) but it is a fun story to tell. ^_^
Ice cream. Chalav stam mint chocolate chip of course with those big crunchy chocolate cookies around it. Yum.

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way.
Go out and buy yourself a leather couch.
Hakol b’sefer nichtavim…
Yehudayona and pba, you seem to have missed my question. Wanderingchana got it though 🙂
Tgere is an “edit” link in your profile page. Click your name
Aren’t most people in Brooklyn missing screws? Why else would they live there? ^_^
I vote No.
I also give a +1 to torah613613torah.
Is posting in the CR as bad as being a Zionist?
I never understood why girls wear heels. Are you so insecure that you are not happy with the height Hashem made you? I personally couldn’t care less how tall my date is and would rather she be comfortable.
Is it possible to drive from Boston to NY without paying any trolls?
Superme, if you want to start over with a new name that nobody knows is you, just make a new account. (Making multiple accounts for the purpose of trolling is against the rules but we don’t mind if someone wants to just start over). But, considering the way you’ve been posting until now, I doubt it would take long before people figure out that it’s you 🙂

My father told me that there is no issue of hachono when it comes to learning on Shabbos.
When you are the one doing the sneezing, don’t forget to answer “Amen! Baruch tihyeh” to the person who says… whatever they say
An 800 ton, moss-covered leaf
I don’t feel like commenting on either discussion here but I would like to point out the meforshim say that although the initial kidnapping was obviously out of lust, Shechem actually did love Dinah for the “right reasons” at the end when they approached Yaakov (I can’t remember who says this but I definitely saw it a few weeks ago when it came up in the parsha)
Bahstan is the same time zone as NY.
Speaking of which, it is getting late in Bahston. Time for PJs…
Are you allowed to crush short snails under your mukluks on Shabbos? They do make a delicious crunching noise after all. ^_^
And who do you think is the most filthy, despicable man in the world?
Daddy! Haman!
squeak can be Shaul
I’ll be Charvona.
If you are a man, you can also listen to daf yomi shiurim online (or if you are a woman related to popa_bar_abba)
Either that or a college…
I thought it was a snort of power shovel used to put snow into bird’s nests.
Haleivi, hitting the “mark as spam” button in most email clients will probably do that for you. It will submit the email to them for analysis.
Wow!! How did u do that? I thot ppls can’t edit ther own sn???
From jaymatt19:
Until the last part of your piece it sounded like we were in agreement
Let me summarize. Kivan She’nitan is a concept in chazal. It exists, one can’t deny it.
But what do those words mean?
You say that Kivan She’nitan means that innocent people can be punished because of guilty people. So, for example, people not with korach would get punished solely due to korach. You say this based upon a lekach tov in parshas korach.
I say that it means that once the rishoim bring forth a tragedy, anyone can suffer, but each person suffers due to their own transgressions. So, in this example. Korach brought forth the din, and moshe warned others something to the effect of: “make sure you don’t have stolen property. If you do, you might get killed since din is coming. Normally this isn’t a reason to be killed, but Kievan shenitan so beware!” (property only used as an example, all aveiros are equal here). This is based upon the iyun yaakov and the emek davar.
So, both of us hold Kievan shenitan, the question is what it means and how it works.
For argument sake, let’s try to apply this to the hurricane.
IF the hurricane happened due the actions of the goyim and that might be a stretch
1. Does kivan shenitan apply when the goyim are the cause?
2. Let’s say that it does apply when the goyim are the cause, does that mean that yidden suffered because of the goyim or does it mean that the goyim created an eis of din, and yidden who had averios, whether big or small, suffered because of their own aveiros?
So now, post facto, let’s try to take the mussar from the storm
We can choose to see that yidden suffered because of the aveiros of yidden. And do a cheshbon hanefesh as to what hashem is trying to tell us to do better.
Or
We can decide to only see Kievan shenitan through the way that you quote the lekach tov, expand it to include cases where the goyim bring down the din, blame others and not see anyway to improve ourselves.
Can one legitimately see things this second way? Possibly
But it also sounds like it may be a ??? ????? to think that way
Also, should one choose to view things in a way which shifts the blame away from themselves when one can just as easily try to take a message and improve?
It has been a pleasure discussing this with you over the past week or 2. Thanks for introducing me to Kievan she’neitan.
Hatzlacha in all that you do
