Comments on: Jews and their Brevity… The Talmud Continues http://matthewtravels.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/jews-and-their-brevity-the-talmud-continues/ Just another WordPress.com weblog Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:41:07 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: eddie http://matthewtravels.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/jews-and-their-brevity-the-talmud-continues/#comment-91 eddie Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:41:07 +0000 http://matthewtravels.wordpress.com/?p=410#comment-91 I really wish you had hyphenated "one-night-stand." I stared blankly at my computer for about ten minutes trying to visualize someone's son emerging from a night stand. And not just any night stand, mind you, but the ONE night stand we're all supposed to know about. What?? I know Matt references some pretty obscure things, but seriously, WHAT??!!... Finally it dawned on me. Just like the next time you lay one of your T-shirts on the bed to fold it, and realize what letter of the English alphabet it vaguely resembles. I've been up all night catching up on 2 1/2 months of you're blog. Hilarious! And enlightening! I wish I was half as insightful and brilliant as you. Hope you arrive safely, we miss having you around ("we" is wayyy less fruity than "I," which is what I actually mean). Got some beers to split with you. Peace out.
