I remember that your man is a fan of the great comic book heroes from one of your pieces, and I appreciate his appreciation too.<br /><br />Hopefully we can get together for coffee (but not veggies) sometime in the New Year.

Hanging out with a teenage boy in tights is a little strange.

"More Jewish Than I Am" sounds like the beginning as of a Broadway play.<br /><br />Yiddish spelling and pronunciations, I think, are different depending on where your family originated from and how many generations have passed since arriving in this county.. Hanukkah must be spelled 20 different ways and may be pronounced at least two different ways - with the spitting CH or the soft Ha.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-5789422100682087572014-12-27T19:30:34.321-05:002014-12-27T19:30:34.321-05:00Funny!

I like a Batman who takes his mother along with him.<br /><br />But I think his alter ego is really Bateman, and it wasn't Gotham City, it was Goyisha City, and they drove the Chanukahmobile, and the Jokester was a real prankster with a lot of shlamazel shlepping Bateman and his meshbucha all over the shtetel like that. Oy!<br /><br />That was fun.<br />RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-5569679578954058132014-12-27T15:21:16.158-05:002014-12-27T15:21:16.158-05:00Thank you, llil, what a nice comment! It's the...Thank you, llil, what a nice comment! It's the suspension of disbelief we have to make to think no one recognizes Batman or Superman, who does it all with glasses only. That said, Batman as depicted these days without Robin would certainly need a little help and who better than a matzoh ball bearing Jewish mother? He's just going to have to keep in mind that changing into Batman in under 45 minutes after eating gives you cramps and it's important to wash behind your ears whether anyone can see them or not. And attend a few Viennese operettas to keep up on masked deception techniques. Thanks, again!Perry Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439590071776264237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-26449002555915183502014-12-27T15:05:08.805-05:002014-12-27T15:05:08.805-05:00I am sitting here laughing over this insane and wo...I am sitting here laughing over this insane and wonderful posting. It fits the absurdity of Batman perfectly and it goes into the heart of the matter. Who, in his/her right mind, even at the impressionable age of 10, would believe that no one recognizes dear Bruce just because he puts a half mask on? From day one, it reminded me of Viennese operettas where a husband does not recognize his wife because she covered her eyes during a masked ball... And Bruce's life style, living in his mansion with Robin and a great butler, certainly would be improved by a proper mother who produces matzo ball soup. I will never imagine him again without her shadowing him into the dark night...Ilil Arbelhttp://ililarbel.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.com
