For those of you who live on another planet (or possibly not in Jewlandia in which case you are hereby pardoned,) Ivri Lider is a very popular Israeli musician. Not only has he had more hits than Micahel Tyson, he has also publicly come out as gay and still remained successful and popular, which is a tremendous accomplishment in the fickle world of showbusiness.
»The Washington Post recently had a great article on reverse immigration, where immigrants to the United States go back to their home countries because of the hectic pace of life. I wouldn’t call Africa the promise land, mostly because I am kind of scared of the HIV. Also, I just like saying the HIV. Even though, obviously, not everywhere in Africa has the HIV. Only the populated parts have (the HIV).
»This week, I had lunch at the World Bank. It was AWESOME.
»Nutella is my crack. I like to run laps just so I can eat Nutella. I’m a slave to the hazelnut. So, when I was eating Nutella out of the jar with a butter knife, shamelessly the other day, I noticed something. Take a look. Do you see it?
»As you may recall, I was super-hyped to receive my SAS book to review from SAS Press.

»I was nameless for two weeks after I was born. My mom and dad hadn’t decided on a name beforehand, and didn’t bother to consult the ultrasound. There was no ultrasound in Russia. Just, maybe, if the mom’s stomach was more eliptical than round, it was probably a boy. And if the doctor sacrificed a sheep under the light of the moon and the entrails leaned to the right, then, most likely a girl.

Happy Mother’s Day! Don’t forget to wish your mom, mam,mother, imma, or mamka a good day for making the time to introduce you to the world in an extremely unpleasant manner for her. Below, the author with her imma and grandma, and Mr. B, with his mom.
»World War II is kind of a Big Deal for Russians. As much as the Americans helped, we like to say that “Russia threw bodies at Hitler,” and that’s how we won. By just burying him in bodies. Also, we probably started making German soldiers drink moonshine vodka (that would be vodka made out of cleaning alcohols.) That would be the other point of victory.
