Shmozo (eh), since I was named after the first "Darrin" (Dick York) on
TV's "Bewitched," it's the correct spelling!eh Not to be confused with
the second "Darrin" (Dick Sargent). eh So which Dick do you prefer,
shmozo?eheheh A big shiny red one, no doubt?ehe BTW, we also have
Darren McGavin & James Darren! eh And 80%% of "Darr*ns" spell it with
an "e". eh P.S. Jerry Lewis (b. Jerome Levitch) is a sweet Jew too!
ehe Now I feh! on you! eh -D, NYC "In New York, even if you're
Catholic, you're Jewish. If you live in Butte, Montana, you're going
to be Goyish, even if you're Jewish!" eh - LENNY BRUCE (b. Leonard
Alfred Schneider, LI, NY - umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer).."What was
most striking about Woody Allen's humor..is that this Jewish anxiety
at the center of his wit touched something alive in America at the
moment and went out beyond us...It made Jews of Gentiles...It meshed
so perfectly with the deepest undercurrents of feeling in the national
life that it made outsiders of us all.." - VIVIAN GORNICK (Village
Voice).."I draw my life from everything I've done and everything that
interests me..You can have 600 jokes in your film and if two gags are
Jewish, the picture will be perceived as Jewish comedy. This is a
false perception, I think" - WOODY ALLEN (b. Konigsberg, Bklyn -
umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer).."Mr. O'Brien, your mother Mrs. Horowitz
is here to see you" ehe - "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE JEWISH" (comedy
album).."The Egg Cream is psychologically the opposite of circumcision
- it pleasurably reaffirms your Jewishness!" eh - MEL BROOKS, b.
Kaminsky, umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer.."In 1979, Time Magazine
estimated that whereas Jews made up only 3%% of the American
population, fully 80%% of professional comedians were Jewish" - THE
HAUNTED SMILE, The Story of Jewish Comedians In America By LAWRENCE J.
EPSTEIN.."The Olympics could go anywhere else? Where else is there?
New York is everything else. Go right, there's Chinatown; go left,
Little Italy. Uptown, Harlem. Midtown, Yorkville. Brooklyn is Jews.
Queens, Koreans. It's a cheap way to have relatives." eh - JOAN RIVERS
(b. Molinksy, Bklyn - umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer).."Whoever calledit
necking was a poor judge of anatomy" ehe - GROUCHO MARX (you know know
what here!ehe).."Roses are Reddish, Violets are Bluish - if it wasn't
for Chistmas, we'd all be Jewish!" ehe - BENNY HILL (adopted stage
name from one of his comedic idols, Jack Benny (b. Kubelsky, sweet
Jew).."Five Jewish men influenced the history of Western civilization:
Moses said the law is everything. Jesus said love is everything. Marx
said capital is everything. Freud said sex is everything. Einstein
said everything is relative" eh.."My mom was Jewish, so some would
call me Jewish. My background is very much that style of writing, Neil
Simon (sweet NYer) and Mel Brooks (sweet Nyer), and 'Your Show of
Show' guys are what I grew up loving. So, I probably drew on my New
York background and my Jewish background for that, sure" - MATTHEW
BRODERICK (umpteenth sweet, Jewish NYer).."If we were forced to choose
just one, there would be no way to deny that Judaism is the most
important intellectual development in human history" - DAVID
GELERTNER, Yale University Professor.."One of the great mysteries that
has always puzzled me is how Jews, who account for such a tiny
fraction of the world's population, have been able to achieve so much
and excel in so many different fields - science, music, medicine,
literature, arts, business and more. If you listed the most
influential people of the last hundred years, three at the top of the
list would be Einstein, Freud and Marx; all were Jews. Many more
belong on the list, yet Jews comprise at most less than 3 percent of
the United States population. They are an amazing people. Imagine the
persecution they endured over the centuries: pogroms, temple burnings,
Cossack raids, uprootings of families, their dispersal to the winds
and the Holocaust. After the Diaspora, they could not own land or
worship in much of the world; they were prohibited from voting and
were told where to live. Yet their children survived and Jews became
by far the most accomplished people per capita that the world has ever
produced" - MARLON BRANDO, excerpt from "SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT
ME".."I moved into my apartment Sept. 10. In one day I saw the worst
but also the best of New York. Its people are glorious, marvelous. The
best. First-run movies? We got it. Tops in theater? We got it. Ballet,
opera, circus, concerts. More culture here, more in the way of arts
than anywhere in the world. New York is the Athens of today" - MATT
DAMON.."If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where
else? Today America is the Roman Empire and New York is Rome itself" -
JOHN LENNON (one of NY's most famous adoptive sons, Strawberry Fields
Memorial, Central Park - world's most famous recreational park).."New
York City is the central home for this entire planet. The Olympics
draws contestants from all countries. Wherever they come from we've
got a family for them, a neighborhood for them, a group who speak
their language, cook their food, support their religion, understand
their needs. We have someone for everyone" - JUDGE JUDY (umpteenth
sweet, Jewish NYer).."Ramblin' outa the wild West, leavin' the towns I
love the best. Thought I'd seen some ups and down.."Til I come into
New York town. People goin' down to the ground. Buildings goin' up to
the sky..I swung on to my old guitar..grabbed hold of a subway
car..and after a rocking, reeling, rolling ride..I landed up on the
downtown side; Greenwich Village" - BOB DYLAN (b. Zimmerman, sweet
Jew, "Voice of a Generation," - Top 100 selling artist of all-
