Well, sorry, but I just get annoyed when people put up the strawmen that atheists actively deny god, even when people who know bettter are just using it for humor, and - What are you doing? ::Scott rips the hammer from FinnAgain’s hands::
Don’t hit yourself in the head with a hammer, this isn’t some sort of cartoon where people can be blown up, and still be alive a few moments later, just covered in soot. See, if this was a cartoon, I could simply draw a hole in the wall, and it would turn into a real hole.
::Scott takes out a pint bucket, and paints a large black circle on the wall. He then leans against it.::
See?
::Suddenly, despite his having leaned against the painted hole a few seconds ago, he then drops into it. No sound emerges, nor is he seen to reappear, or show any signs of his still existing::
Ponder, you might recall I have a thread in MPSIMS. I do not recall your having made any counter-arguments to any statements of mine there, or in any posts of recent memory. If you dislike me, or what I post, why not tell me details, so that if they are valid concerns, I can change?::
::Scott then wonders away, most likely for real this time::
Bit of both. However, looking at the site Soy Vay seems to be a self-mocking product made by Jews for Jews. Why do American Jews love Chinese food so much? Nobody knows. We just do. My only problem is that I spell it oy vey. But Yiddish has numerous spellings for most words. If I could find Soy Vay in my area, I’d definitely buy a bottle for my Dad who loves soy sauce. Everybody would find the name most amusing.
A few decades ago, the Catskills had so many resorts, hotels and summer camps catering to Jews that the area came to be called the Borscht Belt. A few years ago, Manishewitz (A major player in the kosher food industry) began selling a new drink, beet juice. The bottles were labelled “Borscht Belt”. If you sent in a few lables plus the cost of shipping and handling, you would receive a fine Borssht Belt buckle so you could make your belt a borscht belt.
Kabbalah energy drink, OTOH, is at best a severe misunderstanding of Jewish mysticism. We need this like we need a luch in kupp (a hole in the head). Without clicking on the link ( I don’t want to spend the next 15 minutes shouting at my computer), I’d say it’s no joke. The Kabbalah Learning Centre does sell Kabbalah water and has shown that it has no problems perverting centuries-old teachings to turn a buck. BTW It’s pronounced “mahl-hoot” with a kind of phlegm-hawking noise on the h in the second sylable as in Hannukah and challah. I cannot stand folks who claim to have mastered the secrets of Kabbalah while saying “mall-kooth” and mispronouncing other words.
Just curious, but would you recomend another transliteration to get it into greater accord with the Hebrew? As it is my Hebrew pronunciation is probably more Americanized than traditional, as I was raised in a Reform community.
