Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Rolls away stones, swipe bodies from tombs... just to mess with people. Good fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

and thanks for the new earworm because I have been singing Scenario all morning and I do not think anyone within earshot of me even knows the song.

I have no explanation for this, but the other day I was thinking about hiring a DJ for my wedding, and Scenario was totally one of the songs I was going to make sure they had!

One of my newer co-workers asked my Jewish boss what he does to celebrate Easter. This was how my boss reacted: @_@

Ha! ...did the coworker know the boss is Jewish?

Jesse,

are you being coy? Are you getting married soon?

Oh, yeah. That was sort of the tenor of the question: well, what do YOU do to celebrate Easter? (As in, I know you're Jewish, but I thought maybe you celebrate it anyway, in a secular Easter-Bunny way.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

well, what do YOU do to celebrate Easter? (As in, I know you're Jewish, but I thought maybe you celebrate it anyway, in a secular Easter-Bunny way.)

Jewish friends of mine have been asked what they (as Jews) do to celebrate Christmas.

THAT'S THE THING! I'm not even dating anyone! But you never know when you might have to hire a DJ for your wedding?

Oh, yeah. That was sort of the tenor of the question: well, what do YOU do to celebrate Easter? (As in, I know you're Jewish, but I thought maybe you celebrate it anyway, in a secular Easter-Bunny way.)

Oh dear. I mean, I like charoset as much as the next shiksa, but no one has ever asked me what I'm doing for Passover.

Has anyone here used the website Tradesy? it is resale for clothing and looks like it might be a better option for me trying to sell some suits than ebay.

Also, if anyone is in the market for some basic, classic, pants suits - size 10, let me know.

Jewish friends of mine have been asked what they (as Jews) do to celebrate Christmas.

It's not as weird as it sounds though. The Jewish side of my family hosts our annual Christmas celebration, it's just that it's gift exchanges and eating with relatives rather than singing carols, and there are menorahs being lit rather than advent candles.
