Passover the prunes please!

I have decided to run a few Passover contests. First one is who can gain the most weight in the least amount of time. I am going to need starting weight before the first Seder and finishing weight on the last day. I will think about an appropriate prize over the holiday.
My second contest is who can go the longest during the eight days without going to the bathroom. For the uninformed- matzah tends to create a blockage problem, hence the need for prunes and other senior citizen food.
My third contest is who can go all 8 days without having one thought of injuring their family members! This will be a great prize- although it will be hard to prove.
Good luck to all.

According to some the Last Supper was a Passover Seder. It makes sense- matzah is deadly!

Alma Martyr

So I am watching this horrific show on the WB- The Bedford Diaries. I am not really sure what school it is supposed to be but one dude was walking on campus and the campus looked very familiar. It happened to be my college- which is a women's school so what the heck were so many men doing on the campus- and most of them were kissing women to boot. I graduated a few years ago but if memory serves there were hardly any men making out with women right by the front gates. But hey maybe things have changed. But really the purpose of this blog it to complain about how much my alma mater and it's mother school will whore itself out to television and film. Once in a while is ok but all the freakin' time?! Many a time I was asked to walk out of my way to get to class. Um.. that will be a $10,000 deduction from my $120,000 tuition. I think I came here to get an education not be an extra on a Tobey Maguire movie or perhaps one of the 50 Law and Orders that filmed during my 4 years.

Can you guess where I went to school from all the clues?

Streets Paved With Celebrities

I had a quasi-celebrity sighting on Sunday night. Coming home from my gym excursion- and believe me it is an excursion- I saw Bill Hader- he of Saturday Night Live. He is new and maybe not so funny but I knew he looked familiar. Wow, New York City streets are really starting to crawl with celebrities. Maybe I won't move to LA.

I beg you- please return SNL to its former glory!
