well i think ill go and have a cup of tea now.

Dovid said...

unbelievable. so it wasn't e? TRS wears cuff-links? Charlie wears buttons?!

Yossi said...

cuff-links must be the standard attire for a heightsdealer

theRealPianist said...

What part did Charlie have in this??

Yossi said...

His two roles were: be in the picture with us, and make balloon animals

Altie said...

lovely. now i have many disappointed fans with pitchforks that shall never be used.

C said...

Great pic!

I totally called it (ask BigMoish). :)

Good prank, tho.

Yossi, I'm very surprised you posted a pic...

Yossi said...

well, I didn't know anybody was taking a pic of me, or I would've looked into the camera, adjusted my buttons and taken off those big glasses

Big Moish said...

O.K., O.K......
C - as is apparent, YOU WERE RIGHT!!!
(Again with the caps?)

Thanks for the Purim joke, although in Chasidus it explains, the reason weblogging....

Mottel said...

Yossi - you're a better actor then I knew.

Cheerio said...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Chana said...

Whose wedding did you crash?

bonne said...

I am very, very angry. Laughing, crying, and feeling thirsty.
Damn you, it is funny.

Yossi said...

last night's wedding. TRS wasn't crashing (hence the cufflinks)

Anarchist Chossid said...

Are you guys going to put up the letter by Thomas Allivery?

e said...

Well well well, quite entertaining. Very well executed. I personally would have never guessed it was you guys.

Who's idea was it? How did you come up with crazy idea?

Arguing with Myself said...

Jokes on me

Just like a guy said...

CA: I knew it was you... who else would reference a dump like Brandeis?

e: Thank you.

It was both our ideas. I knew it was going to be a success when you (e) were so taken by the original letter (written by me, of course). Who knows, perhaps the haredim will hire me?

Anarchist Chossid said...

It wasn’t me. My shliach forwarded me the e-mail. Brandeis is big on feminist front. It used to be called “whorehouse on the hill”.

Is this why you guys gave up early?

Just like a guy said...

Really? It wasn't you? Hmm, interesting.

What did your shliach say?

We had the hisgalus right when we wanted to. In fact, this dude's email came an hour later.

Anarchist Chossid said...

My shliach said you are somewhere between mishichistim and elokistim in the amount of chillul hashem you produced.

Yeah, right...

Just like a guy said...

I'm very proud.

I mean, you want to see the times? Trust me, this guy came too late.

Anarchist Chossid said...

It’s a good thing he only sent it to Brandeis and Harvard of the local shluchim. Had he sent it to BU, he would probably join you guys in your effort.

Just like a guy said...

Our big hope was for this to make it to failed messiah or VIN or something, and for some dumb rabbi to agree with it...

Anarchist Chossid said...

You almost succeeded. If only Mr. Allivery knew more local shluchim.

Btw, who write a long angry letter and hides behind a pseudonym? It’s times like these that reveal who has a pair and who doesn’t.

Just like a guy said...

So it must be one of your friends, no?

Your thinking is correct.

Anarchist Chossid said...

Why should it be one of my friends? From the tone of the letter, it’s some liberal whackadoo.

Just like a guy said...

Exactly...

Modeh B'Miktsas said...

who ate my comment?

le7 said...

Of course TRS wears cufflinks. He's a classy guy! Come on, you all should be impressed by his outfit... He's real good at dressing himself.

Anarchist Chossid said...

I hear sarcasm... A man’s outfit is a testimony to his wife.

Dovid said...

If he were to be in fact a "classy guy" he would wear big glasses, overalls, and buttons.... like Yossi.

le7 said...

No sarcasm! I'm serious! I even took a picture of him before he left in his rockstar pose.

Dovid said...

I don't know. I mean how can you let him leave without a tie?

Anarchist Chossid said...

He's a classy chossid, not a classy snag.

menachem said...

well TRS,

As someone who was peripherally involved (as e's brother and as someone who is always interested in interesting shtuff), I must say that e. pointed out the fact that the anonymous tznius police man shared the habit of referring to our "Father in heaven" with TRS. He, did not, however, see it as sufficient reason to suspect it was you. Good one!

Yossi said...

I showed that to TRS also, but we figured we could save the committee if anyone brought it up, by saying that the committee was just mocking TRS's style...

e said...

I don't recall pointing that out.

Mushkie said...

VERY good job :) I think you gave it away by a 'twas' comment over by cheerio. but until then you had me hooked. tremendous laugh :)

THE REAL TZNIUS COMMITTEE said...

MUSHKIE!!!!! GET OUT OF HERE! your soul is still pure.

Feivel ben Mishael said...

Am I the only one who thinks this was a straight up breach of halacha and was also really not nice? Bad bayn adam l'chaveiro is not very chassidish...

Yossi said...

yes

Just like a guy said...

As in, "Yes, you are the only one who thinks this was a straight up breach of halacha and was also really not nice".

Yossi said...

exactly! I didn't realize my comment needed explanation. thank you, trs.

Just like a guy said...

You're very welcome, Yossi.

Yossi said...

it's important for co-conspirators to understand each other.

Just like a guy said...

Oh, I couldn't agree more. Only with true cooperation and fraternal love can our goal of complete eradication of female bloggers- whoops, I mean Purim fun, be accomplished.

Yossi said...

I wonder why Purim must be the only time to celebrate such fun. Perhaps we should implement a Paschal bloggervelt-changing campaign?

Just like a guy said...

We do need some blogger blood for our matzos...

Yossi said...

excellent! I'll have my people call your people, and we'll commence negotiations on who will be to Charlie's right or left in the next picture, and who will be able to wear the cuff links

C said...

Pick me! Pick me!

Just like a guy said...

You're not big enough to wear my shirts.

Just like a guy said...

C: You mean for blood, for picturing, or for cufflinks?

Yossi said...

unless she was applying to be the blogger blood. one does need a public blog, though

Just like a guy said...

I meant that you, Yossi, are not big enough to wear my shirts.

Yossi said...

right, of course.

Just like a guy said...

Of course.

Altie said...

lol you guys crack me up. both nuts. no wonder you work so well together.

bonne said...

I just saw these recent comments, very funny.
