Friday again. And not just Friday, but Friday right smack dab in the middle of z’man simchateinu, the season of our joy...the festival of Sukkot.
Sukkot is one of those holidays that has roots way back in the time before time, when primitive desert people would celebrate the fall harvest - mainly because a good harvest meant that they were less likely to starve to death during the coming winter. I mean, why else would we wave palm fronds and citrons around? (Aside from the sheer amusement value, of course.) The holiday, upon becoming subsumed by the nascent religion of the ancient Israelites, acquired new layers of meaning, but even today it resonates with something deep in our ancestral memories.
Holiday aside, we’re looking forward to an enjoyable weekend. The Mistress of Sarcasm is on her way down from Tennessee, with boyfriend Gilad and his sister Hagar in tow. And as if that were not enough, our friend Gary’s birthday is this Monday, so we will be celebrating Sunday evening. Oh boy...cake! No: even better than cake. Angel Pie!
Now to business. What Random Choons are being spewed forth by the iPod d’Elisson today? Let’s find out:

Kyle’s mom’s a bitch, she’s a big fat bitch,
She’s the biggest bitch in the whole wide world,
She’s a stupid bitch, if there ever was a bitch,
She’s a bitch to all the boys and girls.
On Monday she’s a bitch
On Tuesday she’s a bitch
On Wednesday thru Saturday she’s a bitch
Then on Sunday just to be different,
She’s a Super King Kamehameha bitch
Have you ever met my friend Kyle’s mom,
She’s the biggest bitch in the whole wide world,
She’s a mean old bitch, she has stupid hair,
She’s a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch
She’s a stupid bitch, Kyle’s mom’s a bitch,
And she’s such a dirty bitch.
Talk to kids around the world,
It might go a little something like this...
