Natter 43: I Love My Dead Gay Whale Crosspost.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm going to have to go get free coffee, just on principle.

Um, is there any Buffista who is both jewish and surrounded by a wall that dates back to the days of a little bit after the biblical exodus? A few decades afterwards? No? If everybody's walls are from later dates, then I have nobody to wish a happy Shooshan-Purim to, and that would be a pity, since Purim has great cookies.
Although I was surrounded by walls only a few decades old, and not even Jewish, I did have some excellent hamentaschen the other night.

Oh, great! What were they filled with?
Nora, that's awesome! I wish we were able to take things here a little less seriously sometimes.
Although, clearly, Purim has the better cookies. The only reason they don't know this is their lack of ability to taste my mom's. But on the whole, Hanukkah is the better holiday (well, 8 days and playing with fire is still better than just the one day, even if it has costumes and food in its favor).
Oh, and you do know that in Hebrew hamentashen is called "Haman's ear", right?
Like most Brits, I think he overcompensates on the "r", but I'm not sure I'd notice it if I didn't know he wasn't American.
All I can think of when I read this is the first time I heard James Marsters' real voice in that weird MTV ghost/music show. " I just tune the guitarrrrrsss"
Purim also has the squeaky hammers you get to bonk the rabbi with! OK, maybe that was just our friends' synagogue. It was really really really child friendly.
