What's the singular of hamentashen?
I think it's hamentash. And happy Purim Nilly!
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

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).

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.

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.

picture him being bonked about the knees by toddlers
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.

Thanks, Nilly! I have been lurky, but I forget that, well, no one knows if you're only lurking.
I missed the Girl Scout cookies this year. No Samoas for Jen. So sad. But, some friends did send me a box of Thin Mints, bless 'em.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Perkins! I've skipped - are you on jury duty?
Sadly, yes.
