User ChaimAmalek entered the room.
Emma: Hiya Chaim
YourMoralLeader: my leader
ChaimAmalek: Hello Emma
ChaimAmalek: Luke, your blog of late has too many big words and long sentences that become huge paragraphs
ChaimAmalek: I want my lukeford.net short and concise, like my davening
ChaimAmalek: Pared down
ChaimAmalek: Emma, who would you like to see become the next US President: Obama, McCain, or Clinton?
Emma: I don’t pay any attention Chaim
YourMoralLeader: Pay attention to this baby!
ChaimAmalek: Emma, your presence here intoxicates me so that I may forget to vote this November
e, like my davening
ChaimAmalek: Pared down
ChaimAmalek: Emma, who would you like to see become the next US President: Obama, McCain, or Clinton?
Emma: I don’t pay any attention Chaim
YourMoralLeader: Pay attention to this baby!
ChaimAmalek: Emma, your presence here intoxicates me so that I may forget to vote this November

Emma: You?
Emma: Oh right he means him
ChaimAmalek: If I were a married Mormon man living on a compound in Texas, I would want you to be my next wife.
ChaimAmalek: Or my first wife
ChaimAmalek: Emma, will you marry me?
ChaimAmalek: PLEASE?
Emma: No
ChaimAmalek: My heart is crushed.
Emma: Sorry Chaim
Emma: I only have eyes for Luke
ChaimAmalek: As will be two of Obama, Clinton, McCain come NOvember
ChaimAmalek: But Luke is on an ethereal plane, far above matters of the flesh that animate other men and which delight women
YourMoralLeader: true
Emma: Your point is?
ChaimAmalek: I see you together on your honeymoon, Luke having eyes only for the tiny print that is the commentary on the Talmud
Emma: lmao
YourMoralLeader: I love G-d so much!
Emma: mmm
ChaimAmalek: Even during coitus, he is apt to be dictating his new commentaries.
YourMoralLeader: My work is v. important
guest65: That’s a great line.
ChaimAmalek: Not for nothing are the priests of Rome celibate
ChaimAmalek: Luke was meant to be a priest, aloof from the passions of ordinary men
guest65: YLM is the new Rashi; he’s so devout that even during coitus, he expands the torah.
Emma: How is your day going Chaimy?
YourMoralLeader: Hymie
ChaimAmalek: Like any of my post-sexual days
YourMoralLeader: did she make a slur?
Emma: lol
