Jewish Publishing Event of the Year...errrr, Century

Nu, so was anyone at the launch of R' Slifkin's new book? How was it? Anyone meet that mysterious blogger, "Gil"?

Also,

Rabbi Slifkin will be in Los Angeles in the end of July for a three part discussion with Rabbi Chaim Eisen of Jerusalem about Science and Torah, and Evolution. I do not have the specific dates and content of the lectures, but I will post it soon. (Actually, I do have it, but I'm too lazy to write all the info right now)

  6. No, Chana, it's:

    i hate you
    you hate me
    let's gang up and kill barney
    put a gun to his head
    pull the trigger, now he's dead
    first he's purple, now he's red


    Dinosaurs are cool, but Barney is DEFINITELY kefira :-P

  7. Steg - that's my version as well... :)

    I'm writing a post on it as we speak, but it's hard to type and feed a baby at the same time.

  8. Me and Strong Burg await your review of the evening's proceedings. Although it would have been nice if R' Slifkin spoke more, but we did dig his dinosaur fossil tie.

  12. I wanted to kill something everytime I saw Baby Bop while switching channels. Is that normal?

  13. You guys are insane and just hate Barney for the sake of hating Barney. My little daughter still watches it sometimes and its not that bad. I'd rather expose my kids to Barney than to the Miami Choir Boys any day.

  14. Holy - Granted. Now imagine Barney singing MBC songs... :::shudder:::

  15. Don't shudder. I guarentee you even Barney singing their songs sound alot better (and less painful)

  16. Actually, Steg, I had heard it goes like this:

    I hate you, you hate me
    We're a dysfunctional family
    A shot rings out, and Barneys on the floor..
    No more purple dinosaur!

  17. Furry-man - Possibly. But I don't think so. Whenever I hear his voice... I just want to crush something.

    Eees - Heh. That's not a bad version.
