Chaptzem Blog!      

Cute. I didn't get it til smirnoff.

 

Rolling Rock should be translated as
אבן המתגלגל
Am-Haaratzaus in such a serious matter should not be tolerated- he should be stripped of his semicha and be forced to hang pro-Zionist pashkevilin in Monroe....

 

Love it!

 

I Cant Read The Kol Koreh Cuz Its 2 Small 4 Me Can Anyone Write It 4 Me Thanks Alot A FREILECHEN PIREEM

 

and I though "bor hamisgalgel" was Colt 45 (revolver)

 

While even hamisgalgel is the literal translation of Rolling Rock, the gemara in Bava Kamma refers to a rolling rock as Bor Hamisgalgel. The author sacrificed literal translation for lomdishe purity. I should know- I'm the author. Shmeril Shmendrik is a nom de plume under which I made many a Purim Torah. I am honored to have my work appear on Chaptzem.

 

Colt 45? No self respecting Jew (or Get Toshav, for that matter) would drink such pedestrian rotgut! For shame - to mention such things on the hallowed bytes of Chaptzem!

 

Who is the fifth Rav?

I don't recognize his sefer.

Thanks

 

5th rav is crown royal

 

It's the author again. I just want to clarify a few points:

1. I did not submit this to Chaptzem. Someone else did it. The appearance of this old, Yeshiva-specific humor on this site does not constitute an endorsement of Chaptzem as a halachicly kosher source of info.

2. The typos were corrected in a later version. This is the first version, which was put out as a rapid-response to drinking-banning efforts for the upcoming chagigah. Usually I go through several iterations of error-checking.

3. Sefer names like Shivas Regel, Taga Demalka and Bor Hamisgalgel were chosen due to those phrases appearing in seforim, even if the literal translation is slightly off.
