hurry, hurry, step right up and win a trip to heaven. yep, right here in dearborn, mi.!

this link i found to sifry’s alerts has a great post on weblogs and also several links to other posts from oct. 04 offering parts of his presentation at the state of the blogosphere web 2.0 conference.

i continue to find it fascinating to see something new grow and become affected by everything from research and observation to laws and rules to advertising etc. etc.

the latest blogads survey is out. they had 30,079 blog readers respond which is up from the 17,159 responses received last year. not sure how scientific this is but its definetly very interesting.

zefrank has a link from his blog to this comedy skit called funny man. good stuff.

and yes, i know i’m a little obsessed with zefrank lately

when my grandmother was alive, she would often swear and use yiddish phrases throughout the day to gvetch (complain) about others if they did something she felt was unacceptable. at times, i would ask her to translate the yiddish to english. let me tell you, these people are great with the insults. i mean, i might call someone “stupid” but in yiddish, you get something like, “you grow like an onion, with your head in the ground.”

so, i found this link on blogdex to a page that lists common swear words, insults, and curses in yiddish. these are great! my favorite so far is, “zalts im in di oygen, feffer im in di noz” which translates to, “throw salt in his eyes, pepper in his nose.” i mean, what else is left to say! you gotta love yiddish.
