Oh, I enjoyed the post and comments—-it is more the idea of reading them all at one go and having some disparate views warring in my head!

It’s not a spoof so much. I think grandmuffti was actually trying to make a valid point. So don’t feel so bad about reading all 73 comments.

Wow. Ok. Wow. Note to self: do not read all 73 comments at one go when the original blog/post is a spoof.

Yeah, but Shtriemel’s are furry, fuzzy and warm. Strudel’s are sticky.

I don’t find your comments preachy, Shtreimel. And I do believe personal experience stands for something. But there’s no question that people would take your comments more lightly if you were called Strudel.

“Just because it worked for you (and didn’t for you mom’s friend) doesn’t mean it’s applicable to everyone.”

Ah, but that’s where you’re mistaken. But the whole post-modern/it’s all relative thing has been beaten to death. So we’ll leave it at that. But I hear ya about the preachy thing, it would annoy the f out of me as well.

Hey shtreimel (though I must say you are obviously mistaken – your name should really be strudel), I’m sorry you feel like everyone is ganging up on you (or maybe that’s just the way I see it). Thing is, it’s kind of anoying seeing someone try to apply his personal values on everyone else. Just because it worked for you (and didn’t for you mom’s friend) doesn’t mean it’s applicable to everyone. And you know what they say: the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know anything. Oh and ck, sweetie, whatever your dad wants is fine he’s a cutie too

GM:
“though he gets a little flustered when he sees someone be rude to Tiff”
Ohhhhhhh…all of that huffing and puffing was to save a damsel in distress. It all makes sense now.

Grace:
Thanks for the kind words. It’s funny how people discount the “both sides of the fence arguement as being poo poo and silly”. There’s space for both logic and intuition. Personally, I prefer intuition to make judgements about personal and creative matters . I leave logic for driving and figuring out how to wire a MIDI keyboard into my soundcard.

Shtreimel, do you have any male children around the age of 2 or 3? I have a daughter who will be looking for a shidduch in about 18 years or so, and you sound like you’d be an awesome dad and inlaw.

I have nothing more to add, except that I’ve lived on both sides of the fence, and I’m with Shtreimel!

Muffti worships neither logic nor reason; he just thinks that they are useful cognitive tools. And he doesn’t take anything here personally, though he gets a little flustered when he sees someone be rude to Tiff (no matter how rude she was to him). Even if he did worship reason and logic, there is no reason why those should prevent him from taking things seriously. As Hume said:

It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger.

Argument by authority? Yes. But what a great authoritah.

CK, you mean’s there’s a glimmer of hope?

shtreimel: TM does not live in Montreal. Also TM and ck are, despite what people may think, 2 different individuals.

Patty Cake: Uh ok. Unless my Dad wants some. Tiffy developped her Labatt 50 Beer addicition from somewhere ….

Oh my god, ck, we both dissed the beer! That’s it we are soooo totally made for each other! Ok, it’s settled then, no labatt 50 at the wedding

Ha, it’s working TM. Now if I was only single, lived in Montreal, and you were an attractive woman.

Tiffy! You ARE my sister after all. Please govern yourself with some decorum! I mean seriously. Labatt 50 Beer? Didn’t Bracha raise you better than that?

I’ve recovered, thanks.

Tiffy! Labatt 50? I thought you had more class… But I’m in for the emotionless sex!

Well, this will hopefully be my last comment on this post.
Shtreimel, I am so sorry to have made you stoop all the way down to my level. Which must pretty low from that high horse of yours, right?
Fineline: Yeah, I totally misunderstood you. Probably because you’re blonde and I don’t actually read your posts…Yes, haha, a joke.
TM-Here’s my attempt at a constructive and non-mean spirited suggestion. I love Jewlicious but many of the discussions seem more like pissing contests than anything. Usually that makes me laugh, but I guess the holier than thou attitude just got me today. Actually, I’m not even critisizing Jewlicious it’s just some of the comments/commentators that I take issue with. And that’s cool, I appreciate different views even though they sometimes make me psychotic. Hopefully Patty and Dave have something better to offer.
ck and Muffti-Thanks for being so nice. Let’s get together later and give Shtreimel the beat down he deserves for sullying my honor.
Excuse me now, it’s time for some emotionless sex and a six pack of Labatt 50.

Wow, in the span of one comment, TM has been able to link genitals from a career in Law to Shomer Neggiah. Incredible.
