I may be generalizing here, but many of the Jews that I know (especially the ones in my immediately family) love to eat raw onions. They don’t eat them plain–they usually cut them into their salads or chicken dishes, but if gum hadn’t ever been invented I’d probably keep a distance of at least 15…

I saw this at Urban Outfitters last week. (No, I don’t really buy clothes there–but if I did, I wouldn’t be ashamed of it.) These wine glasses each hold an ENTIRE BOTTLE of wine. Genius? You decide:

Grandma got the hiccups at Thanksgiving and then proceeded to pour sugar on to a spoon and then lick it.”Grandma! What are you doing!” we shouted.”It’s my hiccup cure,” she explained. “Take a picture and share it with your internet audience!”Incredulous, I did……and sure enough, her hiccups went away.

Lisa’s birthday is on Wednesday (the 24th) and she doesn’t want celebration.”I don’t want celebration!” she’s repeatedly said.This self-effacement doesn’t suit me well. Birthdays are times for revelry and much much self-promotion. (See my birthweek 2004 category). I found Lisa’s non-birthday birthday stance to be quite infuriating.The twist of it is that we’ll all by…
