  1. Sephardim comes from the Hebrew word for Spain, it's the Jews who were exiled from Spain to Arab lands, around 1/2 of Israel (technically Iraqis and Yemenite jews aren't Sephardim but they have the same rites and dialect). Because of the way Aliyah has turned out (Sephardim as refugees, Ashkenazim as voluntary immigrants), Sephardim tend to be working class, and they don't think much of those who won't see combat. Don't want to start another Israel discussion, but second-generation Ashkenazim are Sabras too, it's inaccurate to act like there's a huge cultural division, but there is a bit.

     

  2. The Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson.

     

    This was before he was Gonzo, but it's got many of those elements. A good read, great if you're a fan.

     

    Have you read the Hell's Angels one? I kind of want to.

     

    I haven't. I dunno why, he's one of my favorite writers, but I've only ever read Fear and Loathing 72, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and a few collections of columns.

     

    In fact, I'm going to the library as soon as my jeans are out of the laundry.

  3. I'm trying to start a band.

     

    I know you guys think my songs are crap, but random alt-rock kids from high school and other parts of the internet disagree, and they're good enough for a high school band regardless. Looking for lead guitar, not sure if I'll get a drummer.

  4. Palin porn script

     

    PALIN: My oh my. That's quite a toolbelt you have on. It looks heavy.

     

    JOE: I have a big hammer.

     

    PALIN: Oh, I betcha do. I love a big hammer. But I love screwdrivers, too! And wrenches. The fact is I love and respect all of America's diverse tools, big and small. They're what helps make us so great as a nation. Here, let me take that off for ya.

  5. Alright so when I was 14 I was in that reform school and I only got out with some lawyers on my side since the state government is corrupt with this.

     

    Well someone else made it out and he's at my high school. He was 12 then, so he's a freshman. Good for him, I'll have to talk to him.
