Subdeacon Joe

A bit late for it, but On a lighter note for my Jewish friends: T'was the night before Chanukah, boychicks and maidels Not a sound could be heard, not even the draidels. The Menorah was set on the chimney, alight In the kitchen the Bubba hut gechapt a bite. Salami, pastrami, a glassala tay And zayerah pickles with bagels, oh vay! Gezunt and geschmack, the kinderlach felt While dreaming of tagelach and Chanukah gelt. The clock on the mantelpiece away was tickin' And Bubba was serving a schtikala chicken. A tumult arose like a thousand brauches, Santa had fallen and broken his tuches. I put on my slippers, eins, tsvay, drei, While Bubba was now on the herring and rye. I grabbed for my bathrobe and buttoned my gotkes While Bubba was busy devouring the latkes. To the window I ran and to my surprise A little red yarmulke greeted my eyes. Then he got to the door and saw the Menorah, "Yiddishe kinder," he said, "Kenahora. I thought I was in a goyisha hoise, But as long as I'm here, I'll leave a few toys." With much geshray, I asked, "Du bist a Yid?" "Avada, mien numen is Schloimay Claus, kid." "Come into the kitchen, I'll get you a dish, A guppell, a schtickala fish." With smacks of delight, he started his fressen, Chopped liver, knaidlach and kreplah gagessen. Along with his meal, he had a few schnapps, When it came to eating, this boy was the tops. He asked for some knishes with pepper and salt, But they were so hot, he yelled "Oy Gevalt." Unbuttoning his haizen, he rose from the tish, And said, "Your Kosher essen is simply delish." As he went to the door, he said "I'll see you later, I'll be back next Pesach, in time for the Sedar." More rapid than eagles his prancers they came, As he whistled and shouted and called them by name: Now Izzy, now Morris, now Yitzak, now Sammy, Now Irving and Maxie, and Moishe and Mannie." He gave a geshray as he drove out of sight: "Gooten Yomtov to all, and to all a good night."

I'm still as egelant as I was in my youth!

I think it started when they went away from commercials like Although I would have sworn that the Old Spice Captain wore a classic off white Aran sweater.

One year, not long after we got together, my wife got some Old Spice aftershave for me. Aftershave... I've been using Old Spice original deodorant since the '70s and she likes that. I remember Sen. Barbara Boxer at one Senate hearing taking about 2 minutes to dress down a general who dared to call her "Ma'am" rather than what she seemed to think her proper royal title.

It's NOT?!?!?!

Male Bovine Excrement. If Its clean and dry in a bowl or on a plate it will just slide in. Put oil on it and bits and pieces cling to the plate or bowl and then you have an oily bowl or plate to wahs. If the kale is plain you can get by with a quick rinse in hot water.

As well as gorgeous and elegant.

You beat me to it. Lovely movie about priorities and redemption.
