how come it sometimes starts with a C?

12/20/2011 2:35:30 PM

The first letter makes a hard guttural sound deep in the throat that some English speaking folk can't handle, so its just pronounced with an H instead of the hard "ch"...makes kind of a throat-clearing sound

Its just like chutzpah if you've heard other yiddish words.

NOTE: the first letter is the one on the right, we read right to left.

Cary is having some Jewish cultural festival tonight or something. When I heard about it this morning at first I was like, "wtf on a Tuesday?" but then it clicked that it's now Hanukkah lol.

I'm waiting for the Jewish TWW logo to go up...it usually does about this time.

i'll make you a deal

i'll convert to Judaism if you give me Alison Brie

12/20/2011 3:01:44 PM

She's mine.

Also, today I explained dreidel to BigMan157, so my Jew powers are full force.

12/20/2011 3:53:42 PM

I learned something!

I think it needs to be explained just how Jewish of a game dreidle really is.

Before any player spins, each person puts 1 coin/piece of chocolate/whatever you're playing with into the pot. Only one player spins at a time. There are 4 possible outcomes:
1) Nothing happens
2) Win entire pot
3) Win half the pot
4) Put one piece into the pot

For those of you who never took statistics, that's a 50% chance of winning and only a 25% chance of losing, and you win much bigger than you can lose. The expected outcome (average gain/loss) for each spin is to win 25% of what's available.

Night 2



^You're supposed to use the middle candle to light the others...and I thought Asians were smart.

12/22/2011 12:40:02 AM

You know Asians don't have souls. There is no way they could be Jewish.

I don't know if any of you would be interested in seeing this, but last night I performed in an evening of storytelling at the comedy theater where I work. The night was "holiday" themed so I represented Chanukah style:

My Israeli coworker, who never celebrated Chanukah while she was in Israel, is now celebrating it after moving here to the US this year. Funny thing is she also has a Christmas tree up in her apartment...
