We actually have a customer named "Schlomo".
Hebrew for Solomon.
(Lots of Hebrew names really don't pass over well into English. The worst probably being Doodie as a fairly common Israeli nickname for David.)

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Apparently you can make a car go faster by fiddling with the A/C.
Yes. By not turning it on.
But actually, there's another way. For some cars you can buy a replacement pulley that's larger than the stock one on the A/C compressor. The result is the same as a change in gear ratio that causes the compressor to turn slower, reducing the amount of power it sucks up.
But I'm not sure how necessary that is. Most (maybe all) cars these days are designed so the A/C will cut out when you floor it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Actually, it's not coincidence. Goldens are prone to cancer; my sister's last two dogs, both goldens, died of cancer. When she took the second one to the canine oncologist, she was told that Thursdays, which were chemo day, were known at the clinic as "Golden Day".Huh. Thanks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But I'm not sure how necessary that is.
This so doesn't seem to be a concern.

Interesting. This means I may even start up the next car mod discussion, and try to retain some of it to boot.
Okay, time for migraine meds and dozing in front of the TV. Two severely early nights for me this weekend. I'm feeling old.

Weirdness. Something from Iranian TV, which seems to be saying that Woody Allen is corrupting Western society by making physically unattractive Jewish men into movie idols and making the Jewish family seem like the ideal of loving families, in contrast to "rude" non-Jewish families. Or, um, something like that. I'm not entirely sure what the point is. But it's weird. [link]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Holy shit I just heard about Elie Wielsel from reading it in Natter 49. I'm crying. What the hell is going on with the world? And I'm living with a guy who refuses to call it, "The Holocaust." Has the world gone mad!?!!1!

What do you mean he refuses to call it the Holocaust? What does he call it?

I have not talked to him about it. I prefer to avoid eye contact.

Hil, Laga's future *shudder* BIL is a Holocaust denier who thinks Hitler was "brilliant." We hates him on many, many levels. (We'd been talking about it in Bitches a few days ago.)
