Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Excellent. So I'll change all of the links in my original post and will make those pictures private (for her sake). Thank you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But I still don't know what "Alter" is in Hebrew.
Does it not mean "old man"? That's what Wikipedia says, and I think she said it in the book too. Unless she was making it up.

I know no such word. There is such word in German, but not in English.

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

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
And since Yiddish is part Hebrew, part English and mostly German, that makes perfect sense.
Anyhow, sorry, but no one uses "alter" in Hebrew to say "old man".

Oh! I looked at wikipedia, and now I get it -- there's an old superstition that, if you're naming a baby after someone who died young, like say you're naming a son after your uncle Isaac who died when he was a young man, you name the baby Alter Isaac, meaning "the old Isaac," because maybe if he's always called "the old Isaac," the Angel of Death will think this means he's supposed to live until he's old and not take him until then. Wikipedia says it was something similar for that character -- two older siblings who died as small children. But the female version would be Alte.

I will ask an easier question: can I use a cake pan to cook fish? I don't know what sort of pans to buy.
