I bet this is how the ipod was invented
“What’s the opposite of a luckbox,” Jamie asked referring to the popular moniker for someone who is lucky at cards (you know, like Karol).
“Acid,” I reply. He looks at me quizzically.
“Is that some ethnic term?”
“No!,” I say defensively, “in fact, I learned it from a Jew, who got it from another Jew…so if it is ethnic, it’s your people ethnic.”
“Wait,” interjects Matty Ebbs, the resident Jew comic, now that Ugarles is on paternity leave, “are you trying to say you know a Jew who also knows a jew? I find that hard to believe.”
“Hey, you have no idea how many Jews I know.”
“47,” Matty says without missing a beat.
“Holy shit! How’d you know that?” I say smiling.
“Easy, I read your blog.”
I laugh. “You know, I should have a separate section on my facebook page for my jewish friends!”
“Ha! I’m not anti-semitic, I have 47 friends who are jews.”
“ooh, it could be like a whole ‘I’m not a racist’ application for facebook!”
It would break out your friends by ethnicity. Michelle Obama could show off her white friends to prove she’s not racist. Barack should display his Christian ones to show how christiany he is. It’d be gold, baby! GOLD!

Racist.

In your universe, perhaps, crackhead.

Ah, but it is my world, you just comment in it.
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:59 am
You’re quite right.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:28 am
Acid! That’s you, that’s you!
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:29 am
And Jamie, no I will be happy until I learn not to walk into quad buzzsaws.

You are the luckiest luckbox ever, Summers.

Is that why you were asking me if I had a bat mitzvah?
August 22nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Yeah, I tried to get up to 48 Jews.
