Blargh

That’s the sound of…tiredness? Is that a word? Tiridity? I feel like I should say something although I haven’t been online bichlal (at all) this week so I haven’t had the time or energy. The shows have gone great. El Al is funny wherever you are apparently. I haven’t written down thoughts from this trip [...]

Big Melons: Shuk Special or Dirty Magazine?

Big Melons: Shuk Special or Dirty Magazine?

From an office somewhere in Jerusalem….an email that may or may not have been sent a short while ago from Some Dumb Oleh to his boss… “In the unlikely event that the tech department decides to tell you that I’ve been looking at pornography in the office, let me pre-emptively declare that I was not.

Two Degrees of Kevin (Unkosher) Bacon

Two Degrees of Kevin (Unkosher) Bacon

Imagine you move to New York. You take a job working for a Jewish youth organization, planning high school tours to Israel. You befriend your new co-worker who does the same thing, for recent high school graduates. You work closely together as two assistant directors of the same department.

Somebody Call PETA!

Somebody Call PETA!

Hello, my loyal readers! Things are crazy this week with life and my trip to the States (and Canada) coming up so this will be short. By the way, do any other Americans here meet people with American accents and ask “where are you from?” Because as luck would have it, I feel like every [...]

Move Over Howard Stern, It’s the ‘What War Zone Aliyah Comedy Tour!’

Move Over Howard Stern, It’s the ‘What War Zone Aliyah Comedy Tour!’

There’s a new king of all media! Allright, so maybe my Tweets are stupid and I don’t know how to program my own television. But did Howard ever speak at the Jewlicious Festival? Didn’t think so. After a long waiting game and wondering if it was going to happen, it seems that some dumb oleh [...]
