Passover Fever!

So it's Passover this week, which is a Jewish holiday in which all food must taste like dirt. Seriously, it's so disgusting, since nothing can be baked with corn syrup or yeast or any of the stuff that makes food good. Anyway, I personally don't keep the holiday, seeing as how I'm about as far removed from my Jewish roots as I can be short of carving a pentagram in my forehead or wearing a sash and talking about the oneness of all things, but I work in a synagogue, and they are sticklers for the Jewish holidays for some reason. Luckily, I can sneak out and eat a cheeseburger, or a piece of toast, or guzzle a bottle of corn syrup if I so desire. And I do.

  • Yeah, I'm Catholic, and I'm not supposed to eat fish on Fridays, but I think it's when i crave it the most, so I indulge.

    Man, we are total bad asses, Steve.

  • It's been awhile since I was Catholic, but isn't the rule that you're not supposed to eat MEAT on Fridays? Fish, somehow, is not considered meat in the strange world of the Pope and His Minions, so that's what's OK on Fridays.

  • The Pope and His Minions are the hottest thing to come out of Italy since...

    Shit, I don't know any Italian pop culture. Impromptu contest: complete the above cliche.

  • ...since that porn chick got voted into the Italian parliment and wanted to start a "love park" where people could have sex openly.

    I think her chair was right next to the great granddaughter of Mussoulini who also got voted into parliment.

  • Gefilte fish is disgusting. It's like fish, put in a blender, shaped into lumps, and then encased in a jelly-like substance. Nothing about that should appeal to you.
