Holy Chutzpah, Goy Wonder! eh Estrogen-driven Jane has to make up for
lost time, no?ehehee Dave, how many months had she been deprived of
our ingeniousity?ehehe Remember her reasoning: "I don't have any
decent newsgroup access at the moment. My subscription with the German
swerver expired, and i've been busy in other (non-news) places. I'm
sure that i'll be back, and in IRC as well, though i've just forgotten
that it's Friday for the last several weeks, at least until it's much
too late." LOL! See, this is what happens when the brain is deprived
of its proper cultural stimuli!eheh It ultimately turns to Goyified
mush!ehe If self-loathing, humorless Jewish Jane had not shlepped to
the boonies of North Carolina from the Greatest (Jewish) City in the
World (NYC - more Jews than Jerusalem), she would have long known that
all one needs is a free Google account. One can then access any and
all newsgroups. IOW, all she had to do was open Internet Explorer,
type in the google url, and create an account. If she was able to be
busy online (her own words), why wasn't she able to get busy with a
free Google account?eh As for Nathan's? While I am glad to hear of the
new SD Nathan's, nothing shall compare to the original Nathan's Famous

up the first Coney Island hot dog stand and sold 3,684 dachshund (or
"little-dog") sausages during his first year in business. Nathan
Handwerker, a former employee of Feltman, opened Nathan's Famous Hot
Dogs and competed with Feltman's by charging only five cents per dog,
instead of ten cents. When people began questioning the quality of his
cheaper dog, he offered free hot dogs to interns at Coney Island
Hospital on the condition that they come to his stand wearing their
white coats. Nathan's gained a reputation for being the place where
the doctors ate. Since 1916, Nathan's has hosted an annual hot dog

richest, most creative Jewish community in the world. Yet little more
than a hundred years ago, most of them were desperately poor, living
in teeming immigrant neighborhoods. How these Jews - through struggle,
education, and determination - transformed themselves and their city
is a great American success story. Jewish New Yorkers powered major
city businesses such as the garment and media industries, reinvented
Broadway theatre, and helped invent the modern labor movement. They
also won Nobel Prizes and introduced the United States to such
delights as pastrami, Egg Creams, and an intimitable form of Jewish
comedy" - GREATEST JEWISH CITY IN THE WORLD, JEWISH NY: NOTABLE
NEIGHBORHOODS & MEMORABLE MOMENTS BY IRA WOLFMAN.."It was the 1967
Arab-Israeli war, which preceded by weeks of international tension,
which really demonstrated the depth of New York Jewry's support for
the state of Israel. In a matter of a few weeks, the city's Jewish
community raised $72 million. Six years later, in response to the 1973
Israel-Arab war, the donations topped $100 million. In today's world,
in which an independent but still threatened Jewish state exists, New
York Jews know full well that their attention to the needs of World
Jewry is incredibly important. Beyond that is the community's keen
awareness that Jews the world over are linked, and that living in the
freest, most affluent Jewish society in the world does release them
from responsibility for their brothers and sisters" - LIONS & LAMBS
