So Hirshel = Green eggs, and Hmmm = Ham.
ReplyDeleteWell, H, at least he didnt make you the ham.
;-)
my good friend CE just clued me in on the green eggs and ham parody, I had no idea, just because I didn't really read Dr. Seuss growing up. What's the point of the song, I don't get it. Please fill in the blanks for me.
ReplyDeleteat last an intelligent post!
ReplyDeleteS T A M ! ! !
The concept of GE&H (in my house we say Green eggs and Lamb) is a way to communicate the idea of "try it and you may like it" in an entertaining way for children...
ReplyDeletefellas, how can you waste your life on such frivolity?
ReplyDeleteN
ReplyDeleteyou're such a party pooper.
A grade A poem, it ought to be published in the next volume of Der Katz in Der Piatz
ReplyDeleteDear Hirshel,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog, you are clearly an inteligent and knowledgable person, and come across as pretty pleasant (most of the time).
I am a Lubavitcher, I am also in Shlichus, I am just a Chossid min hashura.
I do have one objection: why do you seem to take pleasure in "onreitzen" other yidden. Why do use "snag"? You want to make a point critical of the misnagdishe way, fine. You want to point out untruths and revisionism - that has its place. But can't you take more care not to "onreitze" other yidden? It is not the way of a chossid, and it is surely not something you saw from the Rebbe. In addition, wouldn't your words be better received if you don't dash them with salt before serving?
You have a valuable blog, it is often very informative, and even a little entertaining. I hope you will seriously consider what I wrote.
With respect,
Yitzchok

ReplyDeleteI see you're new to this blog, and judging from your words, probably new to blogosphere. The parody here was written by a reader, I just posted it, and it's all in good fun. You do see what we have to put up with, right?
HT,
ReplyDeleteI think Yitzchok was commenting in general about your blog. BTW, I know of people who have showed your blog to other people to show ' see how CHABAD hates other Yidden'. Strangly enough, that guy is a Breslover. Go figure
