OH MAN! don't ask. but this made me want to cry and I'm not lying.
Really? It made me audibly say "Aww ohhh awww eee oish."
I hate being a girl.
-Sef: Don't cry - It'll make your makeup run.
-LE7: Oish? Aww and Ohhh I understand. eee as well - though it seems slightly negative. But Oish? What's an Oish
And folks, that's why I say Shlo Asani Isha every mornin'!
Oish is what you say when you see a really really really cute little kid or somethin'.
Hey, that's TRS' line.
What's my line?
Also, mottel, this is scary, we both bought blue ties on merkos shlichus in Connecticut! Of course, mine's better looking...
The "shelo asani isha" one.
Oh yeah, I say that every day. Since I started reading girls' blogs several times a day :)
-TRS: This one brings out my eyes and my beard - so it looks better on me then yours would (uhh . . .)
-LE7: It's not a line that belongs to either of us. It's a fact. It's also a joke that most bochurim would make . . .
I didn't think it actually belonged to him... I just mean, he says it multiple times a day on multiple different blogs.
And stop it. Of course I know it's an actually brocha. Don't talk to me like I'm a BT or something...
makeup? whats that?
I think I have a new brocha: "shelo asani mottel/metro".
And I mean that in only the nicest possible way.
-Sefirah: That expensive junk you Double X chromosome possessing Earthlings smear on your faces
-TRS: What the Hecht is that supposed to mean?
Don't try and tell me that you're not a metrosexual, Mr. Mottel.
TRS - Mr. Mottel is far from metrosexual..but from what i've heard about you..............
Mottel - oh yeah! that stuff.
Do you know what a metro is Miss Sefirah? Your comment indicates that you're painfully ignorant.
Hey leave Miss Sefira(h) alone.
I believe her last insinuation about you was within the stream of thinking that is generally behind "Yo momma" jokes.
Ahh. I get it. So she's maskim that Mr. Mottel is in fact overly concerned with his appearance?
TRS - Your comment(s) in fact seem to indicate that you are the one who is painfully ignorant:
To quote Wikipedia:
Metrosexual is a neologism of the 2000s generally applied to heterosexual men with a strong concern for their appearance, and/or whose lifestyles display attributes stereotypically attributed to gay men.
You are wrong about me, and wrong in your statement about her . . .
No, I just think she doesn't like you picking on her relatives maybe?
Exactly. That quote from the almighty wiki describes you perfectly.
An Alpaca ... scarf? Really?
Oh, and Connecticut wants its tie back :)
Lovely photos!
-TRS: All that Bud Lite has really done something to your brain . . .
-Chaviva: It says Alpaca on it . . . But it also melts in the fire.
Thanks for the comments.
Typical. He loses the fight and resorts to personal attacks.
do me a favor and delete that comment...my anonymity still means something...I think.
Hey, you posted a picture with your fancy yarmulke. Since then, it's sort of out in the open as to your name.
Also what's wrong with Miller? It's from Milwaukee.
Haha. A bochur just tried correcting me on what a metrosexual is. That's one to go in the books.
Nice pictures. Hilarious conversation. But why were you wearing a red baseball cap to a wedding?
and TRS, your anonymity has been down the drain for awhile..
this is sarabonne btw, under a friends name...
LE7: so? Who reads hebrew around here?
Sefira: and funny enough, I was right
Sara/shayna: that would explain a lot.
Re: my anon: a guy can dream, no?
How about everyone?
-TRS: You have a picture of your face as your profile pic, and you make no secret as to who you are. I go by Mottel, yet you've used my last name before in other places. (as well I didn't say you were Chanan, only that said person was a monster . . .)
-TRS I sad bad beer. Miller, while far from great, isn't bad like TRS's brews.
-Shayna/Sarrabone: It's a Polish hat. It says Polska and has the Polish Eagle on it (CY was on shlichus with me in Warszawa)
-TRS(again): No. You were wrong. Please bring proof to your statement. I can bring more proof to my ludicrous statement then you to yours . . .
LE7: eh?
Mottel: I don't get it. Other people ask me to take their names off, and I do it...
Also, I drank bud light once. When it was the only thing available. Lay off a bit. Normally I'm a guinness man.
Also, you do take pride in your clothes, no?
alright, identity crisis is over.
and TRS, would a metro wear a baseball cap, albeit Polish, to a wedding?
Oh right, ok sure. You know much more about metrosexuals then I do, considering I went to public high school and grew up in west hollywood.
hahahahaha.
ok, this is done.
-TRS: I'd love to. I just don't know how to edit comments while preserving the stream of conversation. I'm teasing about the Bud Lite (though, if offered, I wouldn't touch it). Guinnes? Meh.
There's a difference in taking pride in one's clothes - i.e. dressing nicely - and being Metro. Hence my statement that it is you who doesn't know what being Metro means.
Sure.
I know plenty of metros. I could point out five in yeshiva here in motown right now. Even you'd agree they were metros.
And yeah, I suppose I'm only kidding about you. (for the sake of ending a dumb conversation I'll say nearly everything).
And who cares about the flow?
-TRS: Sure what?
----
People please keep in mind that Letters of Thought is not The Real Shliach. I expect pertinent statements that are to the point and can be properly backed up by cogent arguments - or at least a good dis.
-TRS: I care about the flow because I like the comments to be an integral part of the blog that maps out a certain concept or point. This isn't a chat room where things come and go . . .
If, however, you truly don't want your name up there, I'll remove the comment.
Like, whatever.
Yes, please remove all comments bearing my name. Thanks.
Done. With love.
A real tzaddik in polish.
The posts certainly are an integral part of the blog, as far as I can see. It's like a shtetl in here. So much so that I feel like an alien dropping in...
-TRS: Dontcha know it.
-Chanie: . . . Thanks, really appreciated! Keep in mind that in Talmudic Hebrew a Rooster is at times called a Gever. Thus you already make a brocha hanosein the l'sechvi bina - That G-d gives the man the intelligence! :-P
-AmIaFrumFeminist: This particular post, for whatever reason, attracted a group of comment chit-chatterers. You shouldn't feel alienated from the Blog . . . The waters warm and there's always room for one more.
"Bina y'teira....l'isha yoteir m'b'ish."
Yes, roosters (the males) are called gever. That just proves that men know how to cock-a-doodle-do and wake everybody up. It doesn't prove anything else. Notice that the word "sechvi", not "gever" is used....
