“…there is little chance the Government would actually hold a bond hearing, and there is no chance any hearing that occurred would
comport with due process.”

Jes’ sittin on the bench…

“How are you doing?”
“Do you want to catch a coffee/meal/show sometime?”
“I’m here if you want to talk about it, and I’ll shut up if you don’t.”

I’m an emotionally stunted male of German/Lithuanian background, and *I* figured this $#! out ages ago…

Post a banger that isn’t in English

Only one coming to mind was Penn Jillette, who then stopped identifying as a Libertarian…

The Israel village where my mother lived as a child didn’t have street addresses in the ‘90s when I visited; you just addressed mail to “<name>, k’far haro’eh” and the post office knew which house to go to. People remembered my grandparents 33 years after they’d left as if they’d gone for a weekend.

Enjoyed highly (as I have the vast majority of your content). Please don’t let the haters get you down.

Citrus & herbs are pretty much constants in these parts (orange-mint granita might also be in the mix)…

chicken soup

lemon salmon

Chicken soup, lemon-seared salmon, lemon-thyme marinated chicken, spice rub chicken quarters, herbed golden potatoes, salads

There’s a LOT worse to have going through your head. Go ahead; ask me how I know — I double-dog dare ya!

There was a mostly-wonderful Schmidt/Jones revue called “The Show Goes On,” where they discussed writing a dozen or more title songs for that show, depending on who the female lead would be, and played snippets of several of them.

3/4 disingenuousness, 1/4 genuine insight, more or less… what a complete bizzaro-world listen:

For me, it was the triple anadiplosis (aword that I only learned much later in life): “isn’t that a wonder/ I wonder why I didn’t want her/ I want her, that’s the thing that matters/ and matters are improving daily”…

Melting & weeping with joy just thinking about it….

“Not Since Carrie” hasn’t been mentioned yet?

Too many of my faves already listed below, so let’s go for:

“The glittah! The glittah!” - Elegies for Angels Punks & Raging Queens

As spoken by my late mother’s classmate!

Buried the lede there. Hatzlacha!

The wine was a Merlot.

What a brilliant performer. Time to dust off those “Inside” and “Outside” records and give ‘em a spin.

“Here we thrive; lowering real estate values… Sheldon? Don’t change your name.”

Two pages from Eleh Divrei Habrit

For all your covenant needs, there’s “Eleh Divrei Habrit” by the fascinating Rabbi Chaim Hirschensohn, who lived at the turn of the last century? It’s a 3-volume analysis of every covenant mentioned in tanach. No translation yet, I’m afraid, but he does spend several pages on the ברית מלח

maybe for a lark…

It’s okay; your mind starts wandering more, so you can’t remember how bad it is…

Absolutely the correct (or at least *a* correct response) to this. Loving some of the thread responses…

… also, motion to reintroduce “myddest” as an acceptable form of “midst”…

The ratio of commas and semicolons to period in that order is a sight to behold…

Perhaps noted feminist Naomi Wolf hit the mark with her theory that the lashing out stems from sexual frustration, that the aggression toward ICE officers is a physical release. Yes, it’s clear from their unhinged antics why most of those women wouldn’t be getting any action. Hunter Biden would turn down those women even if they were wearing parkas packed with cocaine.

You missed the “and sex-deprived”

Yep. Also note the various contradictory interpretations of the “pouring out wine while reciting the plagues” portion of the seder…

Where’s R’ Yehudah Halevi when you need him?
