Our local tv stations seem to have a major problem with hiring people who can type up the onscreen crawls and captions (big shock, I'm sure). I think most of ours are originally native speakers of Linear B. In any event, we were watching the CBS affiliate, and I was watching the loop of activities that have been cancelled for tomorrow due to the fact it's too fucking cold˚F right now, with an expected low of -Christ on a popsicle stick˚ overnight and a high of you've got to be fucking kidding me˚ tomorrow.

So amongst the many items* listed was "Baruch Hashem Synagouge, Saturday services." Now, my first thought was that if this was an Orthodox congregation, they wouldn't be watching Letterman to see this information, unless they happened to be married to an Australian atheist who would turn on the tv for them. And then it came around again, and I read it more closely.

"Baruch Hashem Synagouge"

I was not aware that MMA was kosher. Learn something new every day.


*It should be noted that the vast majority of these cancelled items were religious in nature. Where is these people's faith? Just get in the car and floor it, your sky fairies will protect you. I mean, it's how y'all drive the rest of the time. But my favorite item was "God's Open Closet," which will be closed. Further deponent saith not.

The Shabot (orthodox don't care, they just go) or Mass is televised now...no need to travel. At least they are not on the road or in your house causing trouble.
