Yeah, but you're Jewish.

Oh dear. I don't want to know how you know this. They just showed Louis
Malle's "Au revoir, les enfants" on TV here.

I don't. In my defense, it was funnier before I actually posted it.

Humor, like quantum physics, changes when observed.
Heisenberg (that Nazi) had some principle about this (which is
odd, since the stereotype is that Germans aren't usually known for
the subtler qualities of comedy).

Anyway, someone with a physics degree and my name is almost
certainly Jewish, and anyone with the name who isn't still
gets the 50% off deal at Ess-A-Bagel (What, you didn't know
about the 50% off deal??) Further, my middle name is Joshua -
with a name like mine your mailbox is constantly clogging
up with junk mail from rabbinical schools.

Gotta run. Despite my joke about the nonseasonal demand
for license plates, December is actually a very busy time
around here at Zionist Occupation Government headquarters.
We can barely keep up with the demand for trinkets for the
Gentiles. We gotta move a lot of these trinkets - running an
Occupation Government isn't cheap, you know. Especially
now that Congressmen have developed a taste for Louis-Phillippe
toilets. What happened to the good old days when you could
buy a man's vote for a stripper and a box of cigars?

Dumbass -

There are plenty of conservatives who share that trait.

Well, you, for one.

At least you used to exhibit that trait, a few years back.

What variable is canonical with humor?

It must be disheartening to know that when King Carl calls you up onto
the stage to give the lecture, you'll hear in the audience your mother
whisper to the guy next to her: "He could have been a doctor you know."

Any chance you could do something about the black helicopters?

I didn't know Heisenberg was a Nazi.

For some reason I find that a bit startling.

Just wait. With exogamy, that'll pass. A woman I know was late for a
conference, and there were only two name tags left at the reception table.
The receptionist looked at my friend and said, confidently, "You must be
Deborah Cohen." My friend said, "No, I'm [mumble mumble] Chang." The Asian
woman coming in the door right behind her said, "I'm Debbie Cohen."

To be fair, Heisenberg was never a member of the Nazi party,
nor did he engage in overt anti-Semitism. (prominent physicists
Stark and Lenard did, denouncing Einstein's theories as "Jewish
physics."😉 Prior to the war, Heisenberg was opposed to the
racial and ideological purges of the universities; he protested but
only privately. During the war, he headed work on the German
atomic bomb effort. They never got close to a bomb. Heisenberg's
advocates claim that he deliberately impeded the work, but I think
this is cheerleading due to inability to admit the man's moral vision
was inadequate.

A more likely view is that they didn't get that far because
(a) Heisenberg and co made an error which caused them to
drastically overestimate the amount of uranium needed to achieve
critical mass; (b) their project was pretty big, but it didn't devote
the huge level of money and resources to the bomb project that the
Americans did. This version gets some support from tapes which the
British secretly made of the captured German atomic scientists'
discussions after they heard the news of Hiroshima, called the
"Farm Hall transcripts."

So he wasn't strictly a Nazi, but trying to build an atomic bomb for
Germany is a bit more than your average centerline violation.
Yeah, it is startling. There have been some good books and a
couple of plays about it ("Copenhagen"😉, but it doesn't get into
the textbooks.

Further evidence that the 7 year Belgian occupation has indeed become a
complete takeover.

Oy.

Like BJW I frequently get junk mail from religious charities. I
wonder sometimes if my uncle the priest also does.

Who doesn't make assumptions based on names. And who doesn't make
assumptions based on the professions of relatives either.

yeah, it's too bad that i didn't give my obviously jewish son my last
name (halvorson)- i gave him his father's obviously jewish last name.
but my sister's daughter is half black, and her last name is halvorson
😉 and she just had a half vietnamese baby, but now she's married, dang
it. it would have amused me if both of her children had a nordic last name.

it's funny when she and i are together, because we're both blond and
northern european looking, and my son and her daughter look nothing like
us (both of them are a lot taller than we are, and they're only 12/13
years old, besides having black hair, black eyes and dark skin. they
look more related to each other than they do to us 🙂

I'm thinking you're not taking center line violations serious enough.
Unfortunately, sentencing you to sit through two officials classes in
the spring has been determined to be cruel and unusual punishment,
emphasis on the 'unusual'.

It's a given. You've been lamenting the "corruption" of the organizers
of the Tour of California and that race hasn't even embarked upon its

Yes, all quite factual. Show me where I said there was "corruption"
involved.

Do you have large feet?

hmm. many people have asked if i have large [censored], but you're the first
to ask about the feet...(just kidding, just kidding)

i have average women's 7.5 feet. my sister's are about a size smaller
(and she's an inch shorter, 5'5" vs 5'6"😉. what's a bit strange is that
we're shorter than both our parents (?) by 4 to 6 inches, while my
brother is TALL. (not that i mind. i'm looking forward to shrinking as
an old lady 🙂
