Dude! You're doing the freaking ARMY!!! If changing the big jug at the office water cooler means I have a lot of falafel balls, yeah, I guess I do.

Ok, this is too much falafel ball talk. I'm afraid we're going to freak out our 4 female readers.

Benji, you're a better man than me. I'm not sure I could ever do a professional job in the Holy Language.

Just know that you've got more falafel balls in the proverbial pita than me.

Well, I was trying to avoid writing "cold as balls". Don't want to alienate our many teenage readers.

Aren't felafel balls hot? I mean, they are at least when they come out of the fryer. So, the expression, "cold as felafel balls" really doesn't make sense.

1. you know, you can set just the date/time/currency format on your machine to hebrew/euro standard and leave the rest in english. it's the only way to fly.

2. I would give my right leg to see a concert where Stephen Tyler fronted for Kaveret.

Do what I do. Buy a translation program (never cheap) and throw single words into morfix.com (both works wonders when someone is blocking your driveway for the 10th time and you want to tell them to place an extremity in their own body cavity.) Lo yoda'at ech omrim extremity or body cavity.

Plus, when you speak Hebrew, mumble the part of the sentence that you don't know the words for. People here actually don't have the chutzpah to ask what they didn't understand. Or maybe I speak Hebrew after 13 years and haven't realised it yet.

I feel for you, man. I went to the premiere of Fiddler on the Roof at the Cameri yesterday. It was amazing, in spite of the fact that 1) I knew all the words in English and 2) I'm not entirely positive that everything was in Hebrew. There were 2 parts I REALLY didn't understand - maybe my Hebrew's getting worse?
