The only site I'll ever need...

[Thrillho]

Why the hell do they play Hava Nagila at Miller Park? 

Desipio researchers espouse two different, yet compatible, theories:

1) What Slaky said

Perhaps a coincidence.  Perhaps a sign.

"DID YOU KNOW:  When Lowenstein came up with the Indians, the organist at Muncipal Stadium used to play 'Hava Nagila' when he came to bat, assuming that he was Jewish.  Informed that he wasn't, the organist began playing 'Jesus Christ Superstar' before Lowenstein's at bats instead."

[Further edit.--"[June 4] 1968 -- Just recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, Mike Epstein hits a two-run homer in the sixth inning to give the Washington Senators a 4-2 victory over the Oakland A's.  The D.C. Stadium organist plays 'Hava Nagila' as Epstein rounds the bases." (Day by Day in Jewish Sports History by Bob Wechsler, p. 156.)  This is seeming a touch more like a "locus classicus," as it were.]

How the hell is a guy names Lowenstein not Jewish?

His old man probably married a goyim.

I used to play pee-wee football with a kid who's last name was "Ottenstein".  On Sundays, I would see him at mass.  Traditonally, people follow the mother's religion, no?

That's "shiksa".  But who cares?  Its' going to be a long winter.

Also, goyim is plural. But don't take it from me...I'm a total kraut.

"Goyim" is the Yiddish word for "nations", suggesting everyone except Jews, who of course, were stateless when the word evolved from Hebrew and German.   It was their way of saying "the others", or "everyone else".  It is plural.  The singular form is "Goy", which logically suggests one nation, but actually means one non-Jewish person.  It is literally not an insult, except that by usage it is somewhat derogatory because the context is generally xenophobic.  More insulting is "shaygetz", a male non-Jew, and "shiksa", a female.  But "shiksa" also has an ingratiating context, as in any good looking blonde.  (With the exception of Scarlett Johanssen, who happens to be Jewish because her mother is.  And now we have come full circle.  Who can doubt that this is the only site we will ever need?)

Friday night we'll be drinkin' Manischewitz
Goin' out to terrorize goyim
Stompin' shaygetz, screwin' shicksas
As long as we're home by Saturday mornin'

All I ever needed to know about Judaica I learned from NOFX.

Wikipedia informs me that Jewdriver is not notable.

So, though their name gives me a chuckle (oy oy oy!), I don't think I'm allowed to give them the time of day.

Yidcore, on the other hand, appears to be acceptable.

Just like 'shvartzer'!

I just want to say, I used "goy" in conversation tonight with a Jewish female.  She totally understood.  I feel as if I have unlocked a door.  Thank you only site I'll ever need.

Jewish girls love taking it in the ass, from what I've heard as well.

So you may well have opened two doors tonight.

Who takes it more up the hershey highway?  Jew-bitches or Mormons?

Probably not here, but around the office, yes.

That one really pisses my girlfriend off. A lot.

Tell her to read this article:  http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE6D8123EF93BA25752C1A96F948260

In Peru, white people are referred to as "gringos", aboriginals are referred to as "cholos" and blacks are called -gasp- "sambos".  In Lima, fans of Alianza Lima (a soccer team) go watch the game in a predominantly black neighborhood called "La Victoria".  The team used to be solely comprised of black players.  Anyway, you walk into the stands and friends of different colors will say "Hey gringo" and "Hey sambo" to their friends as greetings.  For someone who had the book "Little Black Sambo" in his house growing up, it was a tad disconcerting, but eventually seemed normal...

What I meant was "address the issue of the digestibility of lima beans."

As this is the only site I need,   I have 2 additional tickets for the NU MSU game this Saturday at 2:30 (you're supposed to wear purple).  Tickets are at the 15 yard line 20 rows up.  E-mail me if you have any interest (I can drop them off if you are in the loop).

I figure this may have been covered somewhere at some point in time but a friend of mine at work showed me a way to get around the filters that can prevent effectively being able to youtube it... or even redtube it. http://www.headproxy.com/ I'm not sure of the security of this site but it seems to work fine. Just type the address you want and it navigates through via Head proxy. Hope this helps to encourage the JOing at work.
