Got to roll with the popular kids.<\/p>\n<p>Chaim Amalek: &#8220;In my shul we have a special section for the gerim. It is in the parking lot. In New Jersey. Just kidding! We put them on top of the roof.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* When I say to Jews, &#8220;We&#8217;re a dangerous people&#8221;, they always agree with me. After all, we invented feminism.<\/p>\n<p>Chaim Amalek: &#8220;Marxism, Freudianism, Christianity, and the Barbie Doll. What other people can make such a boast?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* &#8220;Are you not allowed to take medication on Shabbos? Wow, man, you&#8217;re like a project. You&#8217;re high functioning.&#8221; (Friend)<\/p>\n<p>* Mark: &#8220;It&#8217;s Luke Ford&#8217;s form of BDSM, he wants everyone to hate him. How else do you explain a pretend Jewish White Supremacist? I&#8221;m surprised he doesn&#8217;t walk around with a &#8220;Gas Me&#8221; t-shirt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chaim Amalek: That&#8217;s a great idea for a transgressive t-shirt. We&#8217;ve all seen the &#8220;Hug Me, I&#8217;m Irish&#8221; t-shirt, but why not a &#8220;Gas Me, I&#8217;m Jewish&#8221; t-shirt? I blame anti-semitism.<\/p>\n<p>* If I see another Yid in a kipa in some God-forsaken part of the globe, I&#8217;ll give a little nod to indicate that if stuff goes down, I&#8217;ve got your back, though if we&#8217;re together in Borough Park I might come over and steal your menorah and date your mother (I cleaned this observation up somewhat to make it more palatable for the goyim).<\/p>\n<p>* A friend said to me today: &#8220;If you don&#8217;t post something right-wing [aka pro Israel] this week, I&#8217;m going to punch you. You post so much meaningless crap and I don&#8217;t know why you do it until I see how many comments you get and it just feeds you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chaim Amalek: &#8220;Your friend fails to understand that you are not intellectually frivolous. You post what you post because it interests you to do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* I told a friend organizing a fundraising banquet for a yeshiva that I was willing to come at no charge and offer an Australian benediction. He told me to videotape it and they&#8217;d consider it.<\/p>\n<p>* A Tzaddik told me on Shabbos: &#8220;I have no need of porn. I have a hole.&#8221; The profundity of this vort moved me to tears and I urged the young man to speak in yeshivas.<\/p>\n<p>* &#8220;The German race has been selected to dominate the earth.&#8221; (German Marxist Ludwig Woltman)<\/p>\n<p>Silly goyim! Domination is for Yidden!<\/p>\n<p>Mark: &#8220;Either way you Celts lose out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>* On a surface level, today&#8217;s Daf Yomi sounds like ISIS but when we do it, it is right.<\/p>\n<p>* A friend tells me, &#8220;You probably watch &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RlHVin56U2w\">The Eternal Jew<\/a>&#8216; and say, &#8216;Goebbels has a point&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seen and heard: * One Hasid to another to another: &#8220;Bro, you got any [basketball] scores for me [from last night]?&#8221; * Saw a bloke during the Amidah tie together the talisim of the blokes in front of him. * &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=65751\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[228,29,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conversion","category-jews","category-personal"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65751"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":151810,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65751\/revisions\/151810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
