I wonder if I can change my plane reservation from Flint, MI to Israel? Nilly's travel plan sounds more fun than mine.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got an invite to go to an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast after Ramadan) with Turkish cuisine.
What is Turkish cuisine?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Nilly, how is Sukkot celebrated? I realized I know virtually nothing about it, other than the huts. (Which I know aren't actual huts.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Mostly very, very close to Greek, though both Greeks and Turks will loudly and furiously deny any resemblance.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And, like Greek, very very tasty. If they want to have thousands of years of wars over that fact, they're just being silly.

Calli, it's your birthday, you can do whatever you want! Or should, anyway.
Allyson, the only food I know that has the word Turkish in front of it is "turkish delight" from "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe", so even if that will be what's for dessert, I'm afraid I can't help you with anything else.
an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast after Ramadan)
When I was returning home after staying with my uncle for Rosh Hashana a couple of weeks ago, I sat in the bus beside a group of very nice Muslim teenagers. They were breaking the fast with cookies and Coca-Cola (and insisted I share them with them, no matter how much I explained that I just finished two days with lots of very large meals). We exchanged fast stories and rules, I explained about the fast on the day after Rosh-Hashana, we compared the beginning-and-ending schedules, stuff like that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is true.
JZ, I've been thinking of you lately because in the class action pro bono case I've been working on, we're calling one of the plaintiffs "J.Z."

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

This gives me hope. Why doesn't the media report this kind of stuff once in a while?
