popa_bar_abbaParticipant
You are a conspiracy nut. And I am not mod 80
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSay more about the times he makes you want to go home and avoid being with him.
popa_bar_abbaParticipant8 pages sounds like a reasonably sized introduction.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDropbox is very handy. I use it for my docs that I might want to access when I don’t have my computer with me, so I can just sign in from another.
Also, bec I have a netbook for traveling. So I have them synced.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantoomis: I like you, so you can disregard my rantings. Consider it aimed at people I don’t like.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThat’s not a nice word
October 7, 2012 2:01 am at 2:01 am in reply to: Working parent letter: two implementable ideas I posted #899389popa_bar_abbaParticipantAll industries come along with its positives and negatives. One of the “perks” of being a rebbe or morah are the days off. If it bothers you to no end, petition your boss for similar perks, or join the industry. So easy to whine and complain about everyone and everything.
Don’t be an idiot. If it bothers me no end, I can change it.
Who do you think sits on school boards? Morahs or baalei batim?
If the kids need vacation, we can always have training days.

popa_bar_abbaParticipantWas Yom Kippur only a few days ago?? Boy, it dissipated fast…………
Check out my postings from right before yom kippur. Nothing changed.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI so hope I block your driveway one day. If you post your address, I’ll come over and do it right now.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOf course you’ll hire nobody. You won’t even know who I am.
That’s the whole point; I know where you live, and you know nothing about me except that you got my car towed.
People who live in canvas sukkas shouldn’t throw stones.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAgain, I would only park there if I see that you do it also.
And then I would not be worried about that money at all, since you would pay it.
Why would you pay it?
Because I will invest 50 dollars a week into paying thugs to throw rocks at your house, and add that to your tab.
Don’t mess with my car. I don’t give a blazes who you think you are. You don’t own the street, and you can’t make your stupid little driveways and claim all the parking on the block too.
Now who’s laughing?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m not talking about the law. I don’t care what the law is.
In NYC, it is also illegal to buy a big cup of soda. I sure hope you don’t take your sense of right and wrong from NYC law.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantFor the record: If you just want to be the one to block your own driveway, I have no pity. You have no more right to the space in front of your driveway than does anyone else.
And if I see you parking there on a regular basis, then I will park there too. And the same way you ask your wife to move when you need to get out of the driveway, you can ask me. Just come into the beis medrash and ask around.
And don’t get all crazy and mess up my car. Because you might slash my tires and break my windows, but once I leave, you’ll never know who I am. And I know where you live, and your house has a lot more windows than my car has. And I can break them a whole lot of times.
Or I can just pay the thugs who hang out in the next street to break them for me. Say, once a week.
October 5, 2012 12:47 pm at 12:47 pm in reply to: Working parent letter: two implementable ideas I posted #899364popa_bar_abbaParticipantI intend to always take my kids out of school the week of Dec 25-Jan 1. I have vacation; that is when my kids should have vacation.
And every year I’ll convince a couple more parents to do this with me, and eventually we’ll reach a critical mass and they won’t be able to have normal school then.
October 4, 2012 5:05 pm at 5:05 pm in reply to: ????? ??? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? #1145791popa_bar_abbaParticipantI count 9 ushpizin, because I include choni hameagel and shlomo carlebach because how could he not come.
October 4, 2012 3:53 pm at 3:53 pm in reply to: ????? ??? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? #1145788popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou’re forgetting about my ????? ??? of ?????? ??? to ?????, that it should be ???? ?? ???.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantyou went on a date & brought your nephew along?
Of course.
When you test drive a car, do you drive on a private track, or do you drive on a regular street? You drive on a regular street so you’ll know what it is like.
When you go on a date, you can’t just go yourselves in a nice car to a nice place and be all sweet and cute–you fill the back of the minivan with screaming kids and moldy cheerios and then you see how you like each others company.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThis conversation about terminology of “being divorced” is so obnoxious and inane, it reminds me of my obnoxious and inane friend.
My obnoxious and inane friend had this idea that if she always made sure to correct everyone whenever they were technically wrong about something, then everybody would think she was smart and knowledgeable and then some dumb person who wanted a smart wife would marry her. Well, turns out that it worked, but do you really think she wants to be married to my dumb friend? http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/my-dumb-friend
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOne time, I was on a date at the Bronx zoo, and my date was scared of the peacocks that roam around. I had to be a gallant knight and chase it away.
Anyway, the Bronx zoo is the stupidest zoo ever. You pay admission, but then if you want to the animals you need to be a separate fee. Like to see the african animals or the asian animals. It’s ok to charge a separate fee for the merry go round–but not for seeing the animals.
Also, there is too far a walk between bathrooms, and it is not at all well marked which way to walk to a bathroom.
Also, the whole thing is too big of a walk, and the silly wagon train doesn’t let you get on and off at different places easily (and costs extra…)
And, when we were on the silly wagon train, they told me that my nephew was not allowed to eat the cookie he was eating. I just said yes, and did nothing. Let them tell my 2 year old nephew he can’t eat his cookie. I wish them the best of luck.
That’s all for now.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI was looking back and reminiscing last night.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantisraeli ones are junk. they die in a day. american ones can last the whole succos if kept right.
??????? ?? ??? ????
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThis reminds me of my other friend.
So this friend got tired of dating, so he decided that instead of dating each girl and imaging what it would be like to be married, and then deciding based on his imagination–he would just marry them.
So each time he was set up with a girl, he just up and married them. And then if it was no good, he got divorced. All in all, he married 16 times and then the judge ordered him to never marry again until he was caught up with his alimony payments.
So then, he just made a new condition, that he would only agree to date and immediately marry someone if they would assume responsibility for his past alimonies. So he married 6 more times like that.
Then, one of his former wives was redt to him again, but it was assur because it was machzir gerushaso misheniseis.
Then, one of our other friends (the dumb one from the other story http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/my-dumb-friend) got mad at him because he is a kohen and he felt like this guy was wasting all these women and now he can’t marry them. It was especially a problem because this is the dumb friend who wants to marry a smart girl and he thinks that any girl who this guy would marry must be smart because this guy was so smart to think of this.
So the dumb friend decided to stop him. So what he did was, he got another friend and together they testified falsely against him that he was a ????, and then he had to marry that person and could never divorce her.
And now he is happily married.
So the moral of the story is: “If you’re gonna be a chochom, it pays to have a dumb friend.”
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow about if she is twice divorced but from the same guy. And he’s a kohen.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNot that I know of. He just comes and goes sporadically, suddenly posting 10 or 15 posts. Usually pretty clever.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI miss him.
October 3, 2012 4:04 pm at 4:04 pm in reply to: Popa's reflections on Motzaei Shabbos; Haazinu #973009popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat’s funny, is that I thought of number 1 again this year, and didn’t remember that I had ever thought of it before. And I was gonna post it, but was never in the mood. And now I just found that I thought of it and posted it a year ago.
Must be true then.
I like number 2 the best.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI should make a seudas hodaa, since this was a year ago. Maybe I’ll get drunk.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI wonder why I called it “second worst”? What did I think was the worst.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYeah, and maybe the ???? had a leak and people were falling out the bottom. But probably it just expanded.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantmy brother and I were annoyed we couldn’t go to the same minyan today and be jerks together again.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m her sister. How about you don’t go to your sister’s wedding.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLook RB”SHO, even the lunatics come to post on YWN.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWe have permission. I said they don’t mind.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI wonder if any jerks will be at shachris tomorrow. I know I will…Or will I…
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBump
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOne of the girls asked him about this, because she read this thread.
So he said that it wasn’t really him. That really, it was popa who does this, but he let popa write that it was him, because popa didn’t want to write that it was himself.
And so she told the shadchan that, and the shadchan told popa’s wife that, and now popa has to make his own pizza tonight.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSo just recently I got 11.82 in. So I figure I was 3 miles or so from running out of gas.
But after seeing this thread, maybe I really had 5 gallons left.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantTommorow feels so much like sunday that I’m gonna eat pizza tonight.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantShe says they can only get engaged if I don’t come to the wedding.
She’d make a decision like this based on me coming to the wedding. I told you she was dumb.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m actually a gilgul of the Berdichiver.
Some people think that says something bad about the Berdichiver. But I say that even someone like me could be the Berdichiver.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m already on my second set of aravos.
We cut them from our neighbor’s bush. They don’t care; they don’t even live here anymore.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think its important to know if one is speaking to a male or a female and besides, there are some people who may be makpid to not even talk online in such a forum to women so if you (or any other member) are a woman pretending to be a man or vice versa you are causing people a michshol.
I disagree. I think it is better for people not to know, because this way it is impossible for there to be anything inappropriate about out discussions.
Additionally, I don’t believe it is Halachically ok to lie to people for fun or whatever you want to call it.
My semicha certificate is bigger than your semicha certificate.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe gist of this story is true though.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m a Rabbah.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMoney, money and money.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy serious suggestion is to stay far away from any mekubal. Read “Faith and Folly” by Rav Yaakov Hillel.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhy do you have friends of the female persuasion?
I’m not telling.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAs an aside, how do you define obese?
It’s like obscenity. I know it when I see it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI had a friend in yeshiva who was machmir to date 70 girls on sukkos, as a zecher for the musafin of sukkos.
