We’re sorry, the Rabbi’s fan page is experiencing a great deal of traffic as Passover nears its end.

“You hear something?” asked the Golem, and the Rabbi replied, “Not me, what do you think it was?” and the Golem said, “I dunno, sounded like someone screaming in pain,” …the Rabbi lit a cigar…the Golem mentioned, “[Peacocks](http://www.geocities.com/rs_suresh/peacock.jpg) are supposed to sound like that,” and the Rabbi mused, “Hmmph, whatdaya know.”

_Crap_, thought the Golem…“So, whatzup, Rabbi?”…the Rabbi examined his cigar, “I keep thinking about the lingerie and Sadie already”…“Yeah, she’s hot!”…“Oye, the department, not the clothes…We rescued Josh from his bed at home from the Easter Bunny”…“Who is right over there, according to a previous post”…“Oye, yeah we need to do something about that…bring my [Very Big Gun](http://www.kollectablekaos.com.au/images/doom%20bfg.jpg) over here, be a mensch…but it’s lingerie department, not clothes, so does she live next door or across the street from Victoria’s Secret, or what?”…the Golem remarked, "I heard that sound again…sounded like, **“Sam, I am your Father.
