    It bothers me when a songwriter can’t write his own lyrics and has to plagiarize from ancient ones.

    How is it racist to call a girl a woman or a boy a man? Has this ever been used in a racist context?

    Calling unmarried people “boys” and “girls” is offensive.

    Ladies come before gentlemen because they are nobility. Noblemen have been cut out of the phrase.

    Cookie Monster actually lacks a digestive tract, so any food he eats just flops right out of his mouth.

    Yes, but eating like Cookie Monster doesn’t just mean eating cookies. It also means having cookie crumbs all over the floor.

    It’s outdated and could be seen as specifically excluding people who are not ladies or gentlemen.

    I believe what the person was trying to say is that hypothetically if there were some kind of Divine punishment for doing the right thing in this case it would still be right to do the right thing. Or something like that.

    It doesn’t matter that Lewis Carrol did not invent the rhyme: nobody claimed he did, and he did give people a reason to remember it while making Humpty Dumpty an egg.

    If it’s still normal, it’s not a fancy theme. An example of a fancy theme is when you make your kids dress up as famous artists and then you spend hours making a canvas out of bread, paint it with edible paint, and then make paintbrushes out of pretzels and carefully shredded licorice, relabel a bottle of wine as paint thinner and wrap it up in an easel.

    Yeah, but I would rather get a kugel and an apple as a gift than a pile of round hard candies painted to look like marbles and glued into a shape to create a “marble sculpture” for someone’s Greek theme.

    The only reason anyone still remembers the rhyme is because of the character in Through the Looking-Glass, in which he is an egg.

    Lewis Carroll did.

    Shmuel awoke, heart racing. He had had the dream again. The nightmare. It was always the same. He found himself standing just outside Reuven’s room, listening to the sound of Reuven’s television making staticky noises. He needed to give Reuven a letter he had received in the mail, so he knocked. But Reuven wasn’t alone. A vaguely threatening shape stood over him. At first in his dream Shmuel assumed it was Colonel Mustard with the candlestick, but as he rushed to save his son, he saw the man’s face. And it was his own. Usually, he awoke right there, but this time he had dreamed a little longer. In his dream he had watched himself pulling out a stiletto that was wrapped in Rivky’s dress and stab Reuven.

    Back in his home, Oscar was trying to choose a personality, but his fatigue was making it difficult. He needed to base his character this time on someone assertive but calm, someone gracefully sly but also down-to-earth and human. For inspiration, he went to the gallery of faces he had worn in his former career as a body double and impersonator. Travis Grunfield, Gary, Paul, Zevulun, John Williams, Shmuel, Shoshana Beis. And then he had it. He as the new Menachem M. Grossman would assume a character similar to Gary, the sly, charming-yet-unlikeable, gracefully clumsy, tall-but-in-a-short-way policeman and track down the man he thought he had killed. Gary had been a disaster. He had nearly been exposed and had fled in shame. But this time, he swore by Baal Zevuv, this time would be his most successful yet. And when he was done, he would rule the world. Then he realized that world domination hadn’t been the objective in the first place and didn’t have to be now. And then he took a nap. But when he awoke, he took on a new form. A far more powerful and dangerous one.

    Zoroastrianism is usually considered monotheistic, and Zoroastrians are not Noachides. And the dictionary definition of “gentile” is anyone who is not Jewish.

    Suddenly, another Reuven appeared next to Dolphin. But this Reuven was tougher, covered with scars. The real Reuven was shocked. “I thought they killed you!” he said in confusion. “They thought they killed me. But it was you. But it wasn’t you, you’re here. Wait, is it you?” He took a closer look. Yes, there it was. Embedded in this other man’s earlobes and above his eyebrows were tiny pieces of graphite, an accidental tattoo from an unfortunate childhood incident with some pencils, before they had Dolphin as a double.

    “Yes, it is I!” proclaimed Reuven’s secret twin. “I thought they killed Dolphin!”

    “I’m right here!” said Dolphin.

    And that’s how they found out that Dolphin had had a secret brother that he had never known.

    Reuven woke up after years of cryogenically-induced slumber. His old double, Dolphin was beside him. Reuven had no questions. He had been prepared for this moment before he fell asleep. “Time for revenge?” he asked his double and long-time friend.

    “As ever” said Dolphin. He handed Reuven a computer with a webcam. Reuven launched the video recording application and spoke.

    “This is Reuven. Remember me? You killed my secret twin brother.” Then he stared into the camera menacingly, finished recording it, and emailed it to his brother’s killer.
