'War Stories'
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
(Steph, you'll be unsurprised to learn that this was in your neighborhood.)
There was probably a pig on the run somewhere.
I'm also really impressed that this couple actually hosts about fifty people for a prayer service and dinner in their house twice a month, and has been doing it for a couple years.
That's very cool!
There are some organizations that have grant money for people who do things outside of traditional synagogues to get young Jewish people involved in Jewish life, and I'm going to guess that they got one of those grants -- I can't imagine how they'd pay for all this food otherwise.
Naw, Jessica, you can hang out with Greg. I think I'm going to see if I can find a copy of the movie in the discount bin.
Hil, that sounds really nice. I'm glad you were able to go, and comfortable sneaking out a little early.
Also, the host made a big point of telling everyone, "We're all at different points on our Jewish journey, and we all came to Judaism differently, and everyone is accepted and welcome here, so we don't check your Jew Card at the door, and we don't ask each other, 'Is that a Jewish name?' or 'You don't look Jewish' or anything like that." The guy sitting in front of me -- the only black person there -- stifled a laugh. Less than an hour later, I heard someone asking him, "So, I didn't get your story. I assume you weren't born Jewish, right?"
Really. People. Is it that difficult to not be that person?
I've never seen the Big Lebowski
Same. Much to the amazement of my children.

Seriously. It sounds like a wonderful gathering with terrific hosts. Hopefully most people will listen to their sage advice.

Me either.
Me either.
Me either!
Ha, we should arrange a virtual viewing party or something.
Why would you deprive yourself of so much amusement and Sam Elliott? And Philip Seymour Hoffman!
There's bowling, Nihilism and production numbers. Sometimes all at the same time.
