I’m not Jewish but can I have one of the llamas? I’ve always wanted a llama. ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of perceived bad blood between blacks and Jews. What’s up with that? Is it an established prejudice or am I hearing of isolated incidents? It’s an established stereotype probably based on the Nation of Islam’s anti-semitism. In my experience, Chris Rocks refutation of that stereotype rings true (that most blacks don’t even differentiate between Jews and the rest of white people)/ ---

I call. . . oops, I am not a Jew. Can I call something if my conversion is filed? Who do I file it with? Is there a Jewish Pope? 😃 ---

I’m slightly ill and feverish, so maybe that’s the explanation, but I don’t really understand the content of the article (the part about him begging for 7 millions, for instance). Is this paper a serious one, or is it a parody/ fake news? ---

Oh, I have Aunt Estelle’s homemade gefilte fish every Pesach. It’s pretty good, considering that she’s a lousy cook. The jarred stuff, on the other hand…Well lots of horseradish does help. And would you believe that my mother still eats schav?

Homemade gefilte fish is good…but pickled herring is better. In wine sauce, of course, not the scary white stuff. ---

Yuck! > > Zev Steinhardt Isn’t borscht more of a Slavic food than Jewish? It seems to be a staple in Russian and Polish diets. Someone at a celeb gossip site linked to the fan boards, and they’re going on and on about how Michael has Jewish friends, how the media set him up, and how he really said, “they choose to do it on purpose”, rather than “the Jews do it on purpose.” Oh yeah, and I’ll bet he never really said “Kike me” in one of his songs. ---
