The Bay City Rollers said it best....

My favorite thing to do on a saturday night is to go into the yahoo! jewish chat room and to see the crazies go at it (yes, I have no life). Among the Jews in the chat room are often Muslims with names like "allahuakbar69" or "arafatwasmyhomeboy." And they rant and rave about how the Jews are taking over the world and poisoning bananas entering the Gaza for Muslim student consumption (mwahahaha!), etc. But as I'm sitting there, not really paying attention, I get IM's out the wazoo. The profile as so: Male, late 20's, early 30's, frum, and married. Kind of strikes me as odd that a frum, married male would IM a single, not frum, female. Here's a snippet from the conversation I had with one last night:

ChaiTail18 names changed to protect the tzadikks. Hello.
krazy_kugel me: Sup?
ChaiTail18: asl? age/sex/location
krazy_kugel: 21/F/FL
ChaiTail: You frum?
krazy_kugel YES! Another frummie! Only when I wear a long skirt.
ChaiTail: Married?

This is where it gets good....

krazy_kugel: Better question: are you?
ChaiTail18: Yes, I am.
krazy_kugel: So why may I ask are you talking to a single, not frum, female, when you should be spending time with your wife and five kids that's only an assumption, but I'm sure the number is in the vicinity?
ChaiTail18: Do you have a picture? not at all answering my question
krazy_kugel: You first, stud.


Ortho Boy proceeds to pull up a pic of himself. Dude is tall, chunky, yarmulka wearing, red payis and beard, tzitzis hanging out. Oy gevalt.

ChaiTail18: What about you?
krazy_kugel: I'm too impure for you. Happy Pesach...now go look for some chametz.
signs off and then gets IMed by another frum married dude. Proceeds to happen six more times.


What is this about? Why are they looking for tail in a chat room? Did tznius and honesty get lost in the translation. So fucked up. It reminds me of the movie "A Price Above Rubies" starring the wonderful Christopher Eccleston, as a shrewd brother-in-law who basically forces Renee Zellweger's character to be shtupped(yiddish for "screwed") by him, because her husband won't do it with her. I should say this once and for all. The only married, frum dude I have ever had a crush on is Tevye the Dairyman from Fiddler on the Roof. Gunug (yiddish for "enough").
