Yeah, James Marsters natural accent is odd.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

There is the part when you have to make lots of noise whenever Haman's name is mentioned, but usually it's without hitting anybody with anything.
Yep, that's the part. The reading was always very, um, interactive. The rabbi was this big huge guy with a zillion kids of his own under 5, so picture him being bonked about the knees by toddlers. I wonder if he's still rabbi there. At the time, there was only one synagogue in town. I expect there are more now.

What's the singular of hamentashen?
I think it's hamentash. And happy Purim Nilly!

they need to get silly with other stuff (everything else).
Purim is probably the only day of the year in which serious strict practicing orthodox Jews let themselves unwind a bit. You're supposed to drink alcohol on that day (you don't have to, mind you, if you don't want to! It's not a rule).
The one I ate was apricot. Yum!
Oh, I've never tasted one with that. The traditional filling is poppy seeds (is that how you write it?), and there are lots with chocolate and with dates.
What's the singular of hamentashen? That sounds like plural, right?
I have no idea. It's in Yiddish, which I know almost-nothing of, and it's not a direct translation from the Hebrew name (with the ears).
Perkins! I've skipped - are you on jury duty?

Like that's ever going to come up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, Wolfram.

Yep, poppy seeds. I think apricot is fairly typical here, along with prune and the other stuff you said.

Now I want coffee and hamentashen. And I've never even had hamentashen.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What's the singular of hamentashen?
If there is one, I've never heard it. I mean, a singular form would imply that you can eat just one, which is impossible.

Oh, that's adorable!
Wolfram! How is the new baby? And her older siblings? Did they wear costumes yesterday?
Jen! How lovely to see you posting again.

So you're saying Yiddish has more understanding of the human nature than Hebrew? Because, well, yeah, apparently. And less about eating disfigured human organs [Edit: and now I'm imagining a Jewish zombie going around with "eeeeeeeeeeears".]

I am celebrating the great secular holiday of Girl Scout Cookies. I could get hamentashen at a nearby bakery. Hmmmmm.
