AinOhdMilvado:
I find it very interesting that one language can have a single word that might require four or five or even six words in another language… Can anyone think of other examples?
How about ??????? or Bon Apetit into English
Watermelon:
I have a new question for you.
Who is brave enough to admit WHAT THEIR FORMER USERNAME IS?
I see you were in another thread! Well done
Check out this confession in the thread I started for this very purpose:
PS Any others???
Hi koilel101. I’m glad you liked my post. (ahem- blush, clap clap round of applause, small bow).
We all have our moments of childish humor and that was one of mine. Actually I seem to get them more often than most people!
I’m suprised you appreciated it cos you’re new and dont know the posters well. You are new, arent you??? Are you???
Travelling back from a family simcha, I was discussing with my wife how long the journey might take depending on what speed I was able to drive.
My young daughter in the back must have been listening cos a few minutes later she asked “How many miles are there in an hour”!
Da’as yochid’s efforts I dont want to miss,
But I must draw the line at this,
Its no good for my ga’aiveh,
You’ll give me a ta’aiveh,
For much more than a shmini she’bishminis.
Saying I’m the best POET is the wrong thing said,
When I limericked amongst Poems bitten was my head,
Cos limericks are the best,
Way ahead of the rest,
Thats why I was told post only in THIS thread.
Smartcookie whats a limerick if not poetry? Anyway i posted another one there today also so stop complaining… :-]
A mega limericker has suddenely appeared
Who writes fantastic limericks 5-tiered
Daas yochid is his name
And he’s gr8 at this game
Why he’s just come along recently is wierd!
Yes not long ago this thread was dying
Go check and you’ll see I’m not lying
There were gaps of a week
So your help I did seek
And right now its just absolutely FLYING!
My thanks for the compliment paid to me,
I paid smartcookie erroneously,
I quickly glanced thru it,
Then totally blew it,
Cos my thanks should have gone to Blinky.
But dont worry too much Smartcookie,
You’ve also been very kind to me,
With stuff I have read,
In the limerick thread,
Posting in things most complimentary.
Daas yochid’s not a name that I use,
Though I often agree with his views,
His comments are great,
And his humor’s first rate,
But his identity – I havent got clues!
Too many posters have a double,
But if you’re trying hard to burst my bubble,
Another identity,
Is a complete nonentity,
So if you’re trying I’ll save you the trouble.
I welcome myself to the poetry thread,
a place where you dont need to much use your head.
Writing limericks is what gets people queasy,
but simple poetry – hah that’s too easy.
thanx smartcookie for your ultimate compliment,
for thinking that to daas yochid my name i had lent.
i’m a daas yochid also, an individual guy,
but i dont hire out my identity, thats the truth not a lie.
while i disperse,
these few lines of verse.
without getting in a fluster,
rest assured i’m not an imposter!
Shticky Guy is my only name,
and for other’s work i take no credit or blame.
i can continue with poetry for ever,
but authors of limericks are the ones really clever.
so come join us there with a shmeichel,
in the thread where you must really use your seichel.
if you see a limerick written like a tzedraiter,
you know its been written by the 80th moderator.
He says he cant write them though i’m sure he really can.
For he is no way your average man.
His comments and insights and sense of humor,
are fantastic and sharp and thats not just a rumor.
Oldies and newies come in and say hi,
dont leave it all to a few posters and shticky guy.
The good limerickers are blinky, eclipse, chayav and smartcookie,
but its great to get others, even a rookie.
Graduate to limericks although its not kal,
dont forsake us as did minyan gal.
So to prove that you do know how,
write one and post it, DO IT RIGHT NOW!
You’re very welcome, always here . Glad you liked it. Esp cos you were ‘zoiche’ to appear in my story!! :o]
Thanx Goq whatever goq means. Sorry i couldnt include you also cos i’ve no idea what goq means. I wanted to include loads more posters but got bored in the middle. It was long enough anyway.
Lets start a thread of fun/stories/ideas with poster usernames. (I could write an encyclopedia just with Joseph’s)
Little red riding hood by YWN poster names:
There was a once a HELPFUL BASMELECH called red riding hood. One day her MOTHER IN ISRAEL told her that her FLATBUSH BUBBIE was not in best HEALTH and was in BED-STUY getting some MNUCHA so she should POPPA over to see her cos she was BORED STIFF.
Walking thru the woods she met a predator who had WOLFISH MUSINGS about eating her.
When she knocked at the door, the WOLF replied HELLO. But TRUTH BE TOLD she had a lot of COMMON SENSE so she realised something was wrong.
‘Are you AT HOME BUBBIE’ she called. ‘OF COURSE’ replied the WOLF, ‘I’m ALWAYS HERE, come in & dont worry, I’m NEVER CAUSTIC’!
But although the wolf put on a SMILE E. FACE, she wasnt fooled cos she was a SMARTCOOKIE.
‘Are you really Grandma?’ she said. DUNNO said the wolf. Who else could I be? I’m not like JOSEPH, an ECLIPSE with hundreds of names you know!
So she thought FEIF UN, I’ll go and check. KEN ZAYN its her. All should be ok cos HASHEM LOVES ME.
Grandma, such big teeth you have she said. OOO-MISS said the wolf its MAMASHTAKAH azoi. You’re stating THE OBVIOUS. Come here and I’ll eat you! So she ran straight home DERECH HAMELECH and lived happily ever after.
Eclipse doesnt use multiple names. She only ever uses eclipse. And chayav only ever uses chayav. And joseph only ever uses joseph. But the person behind those usernames has other usernames
Derech HaMelech ‘the only time the Torah mentions a birthday is in connection with Paroh’
Not strictly true. Its the only direct mention. But of course we know the famous midrash on homon (bang, bang) that he chose adar cos its the month that moshe rabeinu was niftar, but didnt realise that it was also the month that moshe was born in, meaning that birthdays have a special good mazel or koach.
And the Greek army (I think) used to use warriors on the front line whose birthday was that day cos they had extra mazel.
The gemara brings that someone on their birthday who visits a choleh will remove one sixtieth of the illness. Other ppl only take a 60th of a 60th then a 60th of THAT etc etc
so therefore I think that stamagoy (chayav/eclipse) should come clean and admit it. Oh no! Wrong username again! I did it yesterday too!
What is anyone doing up at this time anyway?
Conspiracy Theories please:
Maybe, being stamagoy, she also started this thread to make people think they’re not the same person.
Can Joseph, poppa and/or mod 80 verify this?
It may come as a suprise to you,
That Poppa and Mod 80 have the same IQ,
So I’ll tell you a secret,
And I hope you can keep it,
For they are not one person but two!
This will teach me not to stay up late at night on YWN but to get some sleep when I need it!
But I’m sure all the mods do have other usernames anyway
Excuse me 42. You keep out of this. You’re only (about) half of what 80 is…
No one mentions grandma to the wolf anymore, not after that unfortunate incident with the girl in the red hood
Moderator-80 Great post 🙂 🙂 🙂 You have a wicked sense of humor!!!
And because ‘The Wolf’ and ‘Kapusta’ may be the same person, if grandma goes to The Wolf, he really WILL get “stuffed”…
You could always dress up as a plain-clothes cop… 🙂
They definitely are the same person. Firstly we have a hoda’as baal din above where 80 posted “it also means “peh” in gematria which is what my other screen name has a big one .”
And anyway, if you follow the posts from the final one on the previous page where I wrote:
Mod 80 and mod 88:
Whats the reasons for YOUR names? There cant be 88 mods at ywn so what do the numbers represent?
Anyone care to have a guess?
then the next 4 replies (alternatively by poppa and 80) follow as one.
What I’m puzzled by is why he chose to deliberately expose himself. Its not just the last of those posts but all 4 that he left us in no doubt at all that 80 and popa_bar_abba must be the same guy.
If he’s really a mod and not just a hoax (which the real mods would have realised by now), he could have simply withdrawn the post or ammended his error had it not been deliberate as he hinted when he wrote “Oh. Wrong username”.
Truth is, I’ve always suspected that all the mods have other usernames to allow them to take part in threads annonymously and without having to appear unbiased etc.
And when I saw the detailed opening posts of the Joseph thread which was started by… you guessed it, poppa_bar_abba!!! , I knew he must be a mod to have all those usernames at his fingertips. He posted ” we will list all the names the mods tell us are really Joseph” and then posts 6!
Then he wrote
How do you like this?
Here, he tells us he has been out of work for 18 months:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/tough-conditions
Here, he has too much money:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/too-much-money
So who else are you, and what are you really trying to do???
Mod 80 is a bit of a fopper
When he posts in here limericks that flop-er
We know you are bright
So our pages dont blight
when you are AT LEAST AS GOOD AS POPPA
It may come as a suprise to you
That poppa and mod 80 have the same IQ
So I’ll tell you a secret
And I hope you can keep it
For they are but one person, not two!
So suprise suprise. Poppa and mod 80 are one and the same! What other usernames do yo have? Can you write mod 80 under each one as you put joseph under all his aliases? Lets start the Mod 80=Poppa thread!
Truth is yours are the always the best comments so i’m happy to have two of you…
So i wont make a mountain, for thats what molehills are made out of…
Mod 80 and mod 88:
Whats the reasons for YOUR names? There cant be 88 mods at ywn so what do the numbers represent?
Anyone care to have a guess?
Blinky (Blinquie): “shticky- love yours!!”
FOR GOODNESS SAKE; WHICH ONE???????????????????
PS My limerick on the Hasc concert was genuine questions. I really want feedback on the concert. Anyone help me out?
Question: Who has bad spelling and uses words that spellchecker doesnt pick up
Isnt it wonderful to arrive
At limerick page number 5
I write from my fone
About reaching this milestone
This thread is now truly alive
And as these verses i fix
I tell you i’m getting great kicks
So come on boys and girls
I wanna watch as your pen twirls
Till we hit upon limerick page six!
“We’ve arrived! We’ve arrived!” I thundered
so just in case you wondered
please give a big cheer
because now we are here
at LIMERICK NUMBER THREE HUNDRED!!!
Its limerick 299
in this favorite ywn thread of mine
I exclusively disclose
as i do compose
I tell you its really divine
We’re up to limerick 298
you know something, I really cant wait
we are now so near
in the thread I hold dear
I’m writing them out in a spate
This is limerick number 297
we’re almost in 7th heaven
a very special number
will appear so dont slumber
if you do i’ll be very unforgivin(g)
bbubbee and smartcookie: you’re welcome.
And smartcookie, you’re right that berries are usually ha’etz but it depends on the height of its bush. So blackberries are ha’etz as you said, as are blueberries. But eg strawberries and cranberries are ha’adama cos on bushes less than 9 inches high the fruit is ha’adama.
Ps I missed out the most obvious bracha on a poster… On a Smartcookie, the bracha is of course mezonos!! 🙂
I remember Purim in my Yeshiva days
Nothing people said could us faze
Cos we bochurim knew best
So to hell with the rest
We continued with our rowdy ways
.
We felt that we bochurim were elite
So we behaved as we wished in the street
Purim was all about us
So why did guys make a fuss
If we were drunk and made children retreat
.
All was muttar cos we were not boys but men
But when we looked thru Purim pictures in our den
We saw guys lying in vomit
Like they’d come from another comet
And we vowed that we’d never do it again
.
As Hashem’s sons we hadnt behaved
We had acted too wild and depraved
To shout and to jeer
To jump up and to snear
It wasnt the result we had craved
.
So in future Purims we acted
In a way that was much less distracted
We still always had a blast
Our fun was still unsurpassed
But from everyone else’s day we hadnt detracted
NEXT ANSWER:
The YWN coffee room
TheGoq
what bracha do u make on a coffee poster?
Well it depends:
If they like to whine: hagafen
If they like having a gripe: ha’etz
If they’re a bit bananas: ha’adama
If they’re always on their blackberry: ha’adama
For elderberries: al tashlicheinu l’es zikna
For Kohlrabi, call a rabbi
If they’re a little nutty: haetz (or ha’adama)
If they’re fruity: haetz (or ha’adama)
If they’re a drip: shehakol
==========
Feel free to continue.
Wolf: LOL!!
Is it like that at all times, or only when there’s a new moon…???
English Teacher to class: How do you pronounce N-O-T-H-I-N-G?
PS Great idea for a thread, eclipse. Lets keep it going.
I think thats a great idea.
Hey thanx Mod 80. Its nice to feel appreciated from time to time…
Derech hamelech – I think everyone will agree to this also:
Challa and Galla
Mods: some posters seem to be genuinely puzzled why posts dont get thru when they’re not particularly inappropriate as mod 80 wrote above.
Perhaps whenever a post is edited or deleted, you should email the post and the reason to the poster. There cant be too many reasons. Then they would know why, and could word future posts accordingly.
A short simple reason eg inappropriate or too long or not relevant etc would suffice to give YOUR view, cos its up to you, and then at least we all know where we stand.
EDITED POST
Please note there is more than one moderator and therefore it can be subjective at times. Also posts are deleted if they are prying or deceptive or looking to expose a posters identity.
This really is a serious matter!!!
PUBLIC APPEAL TO THE MODS: Please confirm that you acknowledge this issue, and keep us informed ON THIS THREAD as to the steps you are taking to rectify the matter.
After all, if you (correctly) took steps to expose a certain poster for posting under multiple screennames, although all were his own, then you must surely stop people trying to post under other user’s screennames!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Good Shabbos.
Well, I have a nose and Eeees has a nose…
The Wolf
… Wolf; you admit to having a nose. I know Kapusta has a nose. Hmmm!! Gets me thinking…!
There should not have been any replies to this thread at all, just the OP.
Twiggy, you called this the ‘rhetorical question’ thread, but then wrote “what do you say?” after the rhetorical question! 🙂
JK! Its a good question, even if not a rhetorical one. When people answer Baruch H.shem, thats really short for Baruch H.shem fine, or Baruch H.shem well etc etc.
We acknowledge that we thank H.shem in whatever matzav we find ourselves, whether we THINK its a good matzav for us or chas v’shalom not. Everything is really l’tovah. Just that it is not always instantly apparent to us.
Its all part of H.shem’s master plan, nigzar before ??? ??? ??????, and because we are created for the honor of H.shem and we are the ?? ?????, we know that our Father has only our best intentions at heart.
‘most likley Wolf and Eees considering they are married’
Eeees, to the best of my knowledge, does not browse or post in the CR.
The Wolf
Wolf, didnt she use to? I remember that screename from somewhere.
I’ve been mentioning her on my blog for the past five years, and she does occasionally comment there.
The Wolf
WOLF – Instead of discussing whether ‘Eeees’ (whoever that may be) does or doesnt browse or post, lets 1st discuss if YOU exist or not.
According to the “Wolfishmusings=Kapusta” thread you may not exist, depending on whether it is Wolfishmusings who exists or Kapusta. Or perhaps neither of you!
So popa_bar_abba, as in your OP, maybe list also all the usernames for Wolf and Kapusta so that we can decide!
PS What does Kapusta mean anyway?
Lets give credit where it’s due. Mods whoever came up with the new subtitle for Jack Daniels, its a gr8 one! Brought a smile to my face. (Though I wouldnt touch the stuff cos i’m strictly a scotch man)
My dear Chayavinishlivisumay
It sounds like to you Purim is THE day
Drinking wine, whiskey or liquor
Until absolutely shikker
Its a chiyuv, its a mitzva, you say.
But remember when you drink your l’chaim
To behave as Yaakov asked Menashe and Efraim
So go have a great time
But remember this rhyme
And your deeds should be sincerely l’shem shamayim!
