I have a confession to make. I misrepresented myself on this website. Actually, Avigail is a committee of 4, all of whom participated in writing under this pseudonym. None of the information posted in the profile is true, especially not the beautiful young woman we selected to represent us (we are male). Even though we took her image from a defunct website - the kind of thing we do - she discovered it and asked us not to misrepresent ourselves. What could we say? We work in Israeli media relations and were looking at the effect of certain messages delivered by a stereotypically "exotic" Israeli, among other things. We thought this site would lend itself to our inquiries. We also look at the effects that support for gay policies has on Israel's reputation, so, of course, "Avigail" had to comment in the gay-themed thread as well. We were caught red-handed, so we will have to try this elsewhere, in another way. And for those who say, "Oh I knew it all along'' no, you didn't.

An honest exploration of your feelings at someone else's expense? I imagine that the psedonymous Susan was probably hurt more than she let on. My gay friends do talk about these incidents and they don't refer to them fondly. They do not say, "Gee, I'm so glad I could be there to help in your development." If you know any gay folks, why don't you ask them what they think of the word bi-curious? Be prepared to run for cover.

Sheesh, Monosodium! Tell us how you really feel. Maybe a substantive critique of what he wrote, rather than an ad hominem attack? You were young once, too, weren't you?

When you swim in the sea,

And an eel bites your knee,

That's a moray! 

Is Herb still alive? I can see the Tijuana Brass every night here in San Antonio, though one more round of This Guy's in Love with You on the trumpet is too much, even for me. Don't forget that the progenitor of that particular jewel is the Great Smarminator himself, Burt Bacharach. How could a student of Darius Milhaud write such doggerel? A question beyond even the ARI.

 You're the first American who has ever told me that the Israeli accent is charming, but of course, you must be right. Adam Sandler will be doing it, in You don't Mess with the Zohan, shortly.

Well, I must tune in to Coast to Coast.... 

 

Yeah, but unlike that crazy devil nonsense, dybbuks are a real problem.

With daily inspiration from The Beverly Hillbillies, how can you go wrong?

Please go into the first available closet - and don't come out.

This Israeli does not grok your comment.

Hell, I wouldn't want to be his first wife. What good is a man you can't look at over coffee?
