kambucta is without the capacity for an annual erection. Wrong chromosomes and all that.
Ooohhhh. The lightbulb just went off. Except it was a little menorah over my head, and it was attached to a little SUV.
“You call that a knife?”
“Why, what would you call it?”
“You’re asking me? You’re the one waving it around like a crazy person, what are you asking me for?”
“You have maybe a better word to call this?”
“Eh, call it whatever you want. I should care that you don’t know your knife from your tuchus?”
So that’s what all those menorahs I’ve seen on fireplace mantels are!
Hunting trophies!
Who nu?
Oh my god, guys, you won’t believe what I saw at the mall tonight! Right next to us was a van with a giant menorah on it! And after I said it could never happen here!
Someone got to post a photo of one of these things. They’re completely unknown to me. Mind you, Brisbane does not have much of a Jewish population, and Melbourne does.
Oh, wow. The Woolly Thing is fucking awesome. I have to move now. It’s so horrible that it’s cool.
Around here, we only have light-up palm trees. I feel so deprived.
I saw some giant car menorahs a few days ago! I was driving down the Queensway and there were two of them in the parking lot of what I presume was some sort of synagogue, right off the highway.
What the fug?
I live in a suburb with a lgood-sized Jewish population, in an area of suburban Cleveland where most of the region’s 85,000 Jews live. I have not seen one single menorah on the roof of a car.
Doesn’t the breeze of the moving car blow the candles out?
I also need to come in and say that it’s not actually a menorah. A hanukkiah (spelling varies) is what is used during Hanukkah. 8 lights plus the middle candle; a menorah is used on shabbos the rest of the year (6 candles plus the middle one).
Damn, I’m the queen of the nitpicks today. My apologies.
Note to self:
- Dreidel-shaped antenna balls
- ???
- PROFIT!
Maybe they are LEDs, with individual switches for each candle? 
As someone oh so aware of the streets/drivers you’re talking about 
(and we are talking the Glen Eira Road/Hotham Street/Balaclava Road-Carlisle Street block, right?!) this just cracked me up. Sad (for a ‘coreligionist’) but true.
I’ve gotta say that they could at least do the safe thing, and celebrate Chanukah by have a giant doughnut on their roof. That way, not only is it not a safety hazard (nice and soft if it goes flying), but there’s a tasty treat for the taking when you’re waiting to cross the most dangerous streets in the Southern Hemisphere!
Got me! I work right in the thick of it, on Carlisle between Chapel St and Hotham St.
I’ve tried telling that to people unfamiliar with the area, and they just roll their eyes skyward and think I’m at best grossly exaggerating, and at worst, bullshitting them completely. 
The ones I have seen thus far are not actually lit up: they’re home-made jobs made out of pine or summat, with no provision for illumination. Just bloody great slabs of wood in the shape of a menorah (or a hannukiah, thanks Ginger). 
That’s a funny name. I’d-a called 'em “chazwozzers.”
Blast! I was in Melbourne yesterday. I wish I’d swung by and had a look.
Or celebrate Christmas with reference to the traditional Jewish observance by decorating the car with Chinese food.
Junior Spaceman, did you previously go under the initials of HS on another messageboard by any chance?
In other words, David, is that you??
