I'm getting ready to move into a new apartment with my Fiance and out of nowhere I'm being offered help from my mother and sister. Where was this help years ago when I was working like a mule around the house - when I was shoveling snow outside or raking leaves - why suddenly am I blessed with their...

Not my mother and most likely not Jewish because she's operating Facebook without assistance Facebook 101 Every week I'm tasked with lecturing a Jewish woman how to use an electronic device or online program for at least a half an hour. Normally, that Jewish woman is my mother. I have a curious...

There's no easy way to explain Inception to a Jewish mother. I flip to the movie on HBO when DiCaprio and his team of brain-hackers get on the plane with their target, the son of an enterprise owner. Mom: What is dis movie? Me: This is a cool movie. These guys are all about to get into a dream with...

God have mercy on the soul who faces his mother's neurotic behavior following the loss of her outdated electronic device. The following is a brief history in my recent time. 8 a.m. My mother apparently heard me waddle my way out of bed and stomp around the room preparing my attire for the day....

Cain vs. the bitches...excuse me, I meant snitches I'm tired of these women calling out Herman Cain for alleged extra marital affairs. What's worse, it's almost as if these women want our sympathy. Even worse, Americans offer them sympathy and positive publicity. Still worse, with these politicians'...

Remember that childhood song our teachers and camp counselors sang to us every week?... "Head, shoulder, knees and toes, knees and toes." As far as I'm concerned, exposing our kids to those lyrics is bad parenting. What the hell are we singing that horseshit to our children for? What is the meaning?...

It's not really far-fetched, but it sounds so stupid: What if Yahoo overtook Google in years past and instead of saying, "Did you Google it?", we'd say, "Did you Yahoo it?"... That would really suck, but not if it altered the outcome of the universe to my liking. What if, as a result, there were...

You see that face? That's the face of a guy that just spotted Wee-Man at the club. Wee-Man and his entourage were kind enough to give me a few photo opps and they even let me buy the big guy a drink. I invited him to Shabbat dinner the following evening, but he said already had plans to skateboard...

7:20 a.m. What is with Jewish mothers and their obsession with getting to the airport four hours before a flight? I woke up to my mother hollering at me, “ARIEEELLL!!! ARIEEELLLL!!!!!” and even though I asked her to wake me up in the morning, I didn’t expect her to act like a mad rooster. Hearing...

Being the sadist that I am, I find it pleasurably detestable that in a city like Boston there's so much love going on in the streets. All I ever see are people laughing, drinking and having a good time. Sure, you'll see a bar fight now and again, but you'll never see a serious clash of cuntacular proportions...
