Famous Jewish sports legends?

Funny.

Well lets see. Max Baer. Not sure of spelling. Hank Greenberg. And the biggest is Sandy Koufax.

Ya want a shorter list? Indian sports legends. I can’t think of any in USA. Maybe cricket or soccer. But wow there are a great many Indians and i don’t think sports is there thing.

Age 8 i bet a quarter against Tommy Doucette’s soft dictionary in a best of ten from the foul line. Used the heck out of that dictionary. Started reading from letter A.

So now there are two words in last two days that are courtesy of AZ added to the list of word licker linguistics. Mondegreen and cromulent. To remember cromulent just think of…[Read more]

Oh but what about all of the Indonesian Muslims? Stay home please.

Jews love Chinese restaurants. A stereotype with some backbone. I will say this. There are a great many bad Chinese restaurants. There is one near me called Discount Chinese Food. The name does not mislead. When they are good though wowzers. Incredible cuisine. Japanese seldom have bad restaurants and when they are Nobu no fooling they’re…[Read more]

Growing up my family befriended a Norwegian family. The rats moved back to Norway. Anyways i remember the father who was an engineer telling us how Jews who numbered so few in Norway dominated the admissions in engineering school and yet no apparent discrimination or racism was apparent. I have a feeling that is no longer the case since Norway is…[Read more]

Robert, good and fair take.

However, based on the pervasiveness of the lefty religion of secular Jew hate and how thoroughly indoctrinated so many who are or will be so prominent in the US it is a real threat. Don’t say nutting halal. It is insanely frustrating to see how stupid people are. Oh shut up Bonhoeffer! You should have renounced your…[Read more]

Reg, you’ve confused me with Enco. He hit us with a cromulent left hook. Was happy to learn a new word. Jejune is a word that i have/had a mental block. Have come across it too many times to have an excuse to need a dictionary or now internet. Never ever hear anybody use word but it is in so many books.

Harvard has a long history of discrimination against Jews. This lefty iteration of secular Jew hatred as an academic subject is such a joke.

I want to see the money trail from Qutar to Harvard. Who has been paid off? Anti Jew. Anti western. Anti intellectual. Smoothing the pathway for Islamism to penetrate USA and being partly responsible for the…[Read more]

Enco, i am torn betwen a requirement for Muslims before becoming US citizens. Should they be required to spit, urinate or defecate on their Quran?

And to all of the White bread ivy league students majoring in middle eastern studies and crying dodger blue for the Palestinians. Mandatory visits into the bowels of death cult hell. Encourage them to…[Read more]

Big bang. 13 billion years hence. Cromulent. Big splash.

Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg special. Still remember watching that and feeling sick to my stomach.

Far left. Far right. Without data to corroborate but i think it is a good bet far left is better educated than far right. Less conviction but perhaps higher in empathy as well. And yet i am not sure whether it is the lefties or the MAGA who are…[Read more]

No expert and just my impression but empathy is chacterized by creating a relatable impression that is experienced/felt when one organism observes another. Does not have to be same species. Mirror neurons and other neural junk whose name(s) escapes me and neural pathways are activated when something observed causes alarm or joy/ecstasy. If one is…[Read more]

Conservatism in older age may reflect disillusionment. Idk.

Have not read Bradbury since i was 12 or 13. Might be a good idea to order a few books and get reacquainted. If i come back and remember my prior life i may take his advice on how to become a writer.

Enjoyed listening to Ray Bradbury, ha?

Well i can’t argue Enco. You were present to assess the spirit of the comment.

Enco i am an iconoclast to a fault. Makes me sick seeing a big fat ugly cross in a hospital. Crosses adorning morons same. And lots of other similar reactions. But i would take that good friday comment as a good natured joke. If a Muslim came into the store and said you are killing me here waiting on you to ring me up. Oh but that might work out…[Read more]

Enco,

It aint that bad. Living among theists who posit every form of mythology from the ahistorical scapegoating of Israel mythology to the good place/bad place for immortals decided by a guy with a white beard who is watching us every second along with the endless homilies and worthless religious prattle ya just roll with the punches.…[Read more]

Reg,

Thanks.

Yeah Reg that is an interesting case.

I don’t think many who are doing as well as he apparently was would take their lives. Love his humility too. That perspective he expressed is dope.

And in that vein i think it is important none of us lionize or place on a pedestal anyone just cuz we fancy they are super intelligent. We all make mistakes.…[Read more]

Sunday school has had a few articles involving unforseen consequences. How this apparent debacle in tariffs and related Trumpery will play out no human can know. Seems safe to predict no good will come of it and yet we don’t know.
