I have heard of Matisyahu because he was profiled in an article by Deborah Caldwell, called "Yo! Or is it Oy?" (I think it was the New York Times, but I forget.) It was really an article about the mix-and-match urban culture environment, and a Matisyahu sighting was the opening scene.

It is also the third-funniest partly-Yiddish title I've seen, after the non-fiction book Boychiks in the Hood (about Hasidim in New York) and "Shvitz! The Yiddishe workout" (a video for learning Yiddish, or possibly aerobics, or both, and might be apocryphal).

I don't know. But in one episode that I saw they did take the future arsonists to see a New Edition reunion concert, so props for that.

Today, a guy I know and adore told me, "you have to remember, men are peacocks."

And I was totally floored. It never occurred to me before. I think he's right.

My problem is that I'm not peacocky enough.

Was Bobby performing?

Have you ordered the shoes yet?

No Bobby. He was off being himself on Bravo. But they did have Ronnie, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny Gill (AKA Greasiest man in captivity).

"Shvitz! The Yiddishe workout"

I had to see that: [link]

It'll do, it'll do...which just reminded me of something I heard once (and can't remember where)--"It's so hot it made Bobby brown and Keith sweat."

Cracks me up every time. Sometimes things are simple.

Almost done the charter, almost done.

Have you ordered the shoes yet?

No! I'm too afraid of an ill-fitting fiasco to buy shoes online. I'll have to find some locally.

So then, do I buy the fancy shoes in a gay part of town or a straight part?

Maybe in an area that borders both....

What does peacocky mean to you here, Allyson? Vain? Hoping to show off talents in order to attract females?

although watching him brings on a strange sort of sensory dissonance.

Sort of like when Jim Nabors used to sing opera?
