what's up with the board; seems to be some technical difficulties going on ...

 

if you're really dying to know i was born "half-buddhist" and half ... uhh ... not buddhist. i think judaism is a pretty awesome, though, and i've done some in-depth exploration of it - both as a religion and a culture. for the likes of a bunch of you, i would think judaism had a bunch of appeal. where else do you get to do shots of vodka after "church" and are told to celebrate sex every sabbath?

Bwaa haaa haaaa

 

this thread is cracking me up! I nearly got busted laughing out loud at work here. (They don't allow that. Laughing, I mean. Plus, I'm behind on my TPS reports.)

 

by the way goddess, you missed the actual day. your initial post was a day or so after the new year. But who cares when we're talking about sex every friday!!

 

oh yeah, about that, first of all, I think you're told to HAVE sex every sabbath, not celebrate it. I mean, honestly, who celebrates sex? Hey, let's throw a party for sex? (Not that its not worth celebrating, of course, but...I would just as soon get good-night laid, thanks very much!) I also vaguely seem to remember that the whole friday night nookie session is only encouraged with your spouse, but I could be wrong there.

 

You want to come over and discuss in person? We can do it in a closet if you like. Or did I read that wrong? [laf]

 

Dwayner, that's pretty funny stuff there...
