[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And that, in a nutshell, is why Americans can't say my name properly. But we already had this discussion.

My Hebrew school education would say that it's pronounced Sheer. My attempt at saying it properly ends up somewhere around Sheeirkhekh, which sounds even weirder out loud than it looks typed. (And really, the only way I was able to get it right in the middle of a word was from watching a video of Noa and Mira Awad, where Noa introduces Mira, and just playing that name over and over and trying to repeat it until I got it right. But somehow I can't get that same sound when I don't have a vowel right before and after.)

(And now I'm watching YouTube videos of Israelis singing Shir LaShalom, to try to see if I can get that sound right.)

Er, now I want Shir to type some french words using this mysterious sound, as I sit her trying to say her name the way Hil apparently pronounces it, out loud in my living room (as I get zero work done today, BTW...I wasn't feeling well, and did a teleconference and then went back to bed for three hours)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sean? You all right over there? You're freaking me out on Facebook.

Yeah, ditto, Sean.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Um. Who lives close to him and might be able to go check on him in person? I'm really worried.
