The Derb was on fire today
I mean, with amusing non-political asides. (Be warned; if you follow the links you will find yourself at a highly partisan political group-blog, albeit at a couple of specific posts that don't have anything to do with politics.)
First of all, he reminds us of the classic definition of a mistress: "That which is found between a mister and a mattress."
But what really amused me was this nugget (scroll to the bottom of the post) passed on to him by one of his readers:
When I was in junior high, the Hebrew day school I attended, in cooperation with the drama department at a local high school, put on a full production of My Fair Lady in Hebrew (barad yarad b'drom sfarad ba' erev — "The hail falls in southern Spain in the evening"). If you think it's funny to hear Dick Van Dyke doing cockney, you should listen to someone trying to do a cockney accent in Hebrew. The girl who played Eliza Doolittle had to transition from Hebrew with a cockney accent to Hebrew with an upper crust Brit accent over the play's duration.What a wonderful world we live in...and why, oh why, couldn't somebody have videotaped that performance? Or, if they did, why isn't it on YouTube?

Okay, not directly related and you've probably already seen it, but I did warn you what would happen if I spent too much time at Sports Guy, and I already spent too much time at Radio Derb last year. So I may not even go see how on fire Derb was that day - not until all finals are graded, at any rate. But I did go to SG'sW today, and did enjoy this:
I am leaving out any far-fetched explanation along the lines of "Tiger was going out to buy crack" and "Tiger had been furious at that fire hydrant for months and it was only a matter of time before he went after it."
