Surely you can't be serious

<Aside>
Jews actually used to be pretty dominant in some sports, just like African-Americans are currently, and just like now, there was a segment of racist commentators who tried to explain in racial terms just why they were suited for those sports. And of course, then as now, the real reason was socioeconomic, that kids in poor demographics have fewer options for success other than sports, and so they put in a lot more time and effort into becoming good at sports.

Well, I’ll give him another twenty minutes, but that’s it!

Note the video clip on the page.

The sequel had its moments too. I always laugh at this:

What’s also funny is they never call attention to the fact that “Macho Grande” basically means “Huge Big”.

Any time you need to find out if someone’s Jewish or not, check here:

It’s a fun site.

Indeed and recent Centennial Mel Brooks was the first person they gave a perfect 15 score to.

That site confirms what Adam Sandler sang about David Beckham in one of his Chanukah Songs:

“David Beckham is the King of Soccer Studs, and also a quarter Chosen.”

Add him to the pamphlet of Famous Jewish Athletes.

This seems very appropriate to this thread:

They score a 14. Pretty good.

Nope, it means “big male” using the word for male animals that sometimes is used as a slang for a human male that shows bravery (or other less savory “male” characteristics like violence)

In the dark days of the 50s, my FIL would travel for business, and often a Jewish gentleman would be part of the trip, But the hotels were “restricted”. So he convinced them the guy was Irish instead. Stupid bigots.

Whatta pisser!

Her IMDb page is pretty dramatic about it.

Michelle Stacy suddenly stopped acting and seems to have vanished into oblivion.

I’m picturing a little girl abruptly falling into a wormhole while innocently walking somewhere.

I really loved the running gag about the “drinking problem” in Airplane! where Striker keeps splashing himself in the face with a drink because he can’t get it into his mouth properly.

It’s not a very long read, might want to add some additional books pamphlets for your trip. I suggest:

  • Irish quisine
  • Italian war heroes
  • Polish dictionary

If you mean “cuisine”, my favorite restaurant in the world serves Irish food. Their cuisine is freaking awesome.

Granted, it includes a lot of things inspired by other cuisines (as most restaurants do), but I object to any hint that Irish food is bad or limited. If I’m ever in an area with a legitimate Irish pub, I will always want to try it out. They rarely disappoint. Irish food is delicious.

The worst thing about using a Polish dictionary is trying to pronounce the words! :flushed_face:

It’s spelled correctly, at least according to my Polish dictionary! :winking_face_with_tongue:

Zing!

(I was married to a Polish woman for 7 years and this checks out.)

She was a Polish woman for 7 years?
