(שלום) "Friday OPP": Three new videos
Greetings! Two of the following three videos, at least, haven't been announced here to date -- maybe none of them. Two are obviously biblical Hebrew ''poetry'', but so much of what is called ''prose'' is evidently ''elevated speech'' of another kind that a number of scholars are considering it ''poetic'' as well. The third example (in my ...

My most abject apologies...
Dear MaryAnn, Wouldn't you know that starting right when I got up this morning, Work in the Real World kept me from getting to this. Something told me that if I didn't do this early (like, on Wednesday night or even Wednesday afternoon), I'd get to it too late. I always regret it when I don't listen to my intuition scream at me like that. I ...

Re: We interrupt the Tuesday Tripe to bring you...
And with that, I am ready to present the playlist as a ''proof of concept'' to my church's nascent online Living University. We'll see how much time I have to add more videos (as creating them can be very time-consuming). wr ()()

Re: You Win Pinsky, I Cry "Uncle!"
Fellow JKL, And here (as much as I like this poem, relatively speaking, and believe it or not) I was looking forward to seeing what would happen when this poem underwent your usual humorous reductionism. If I had the time, I'd take up the gauntlet -- for this poem, anyway. By the time I got through with it, it probably would look like two miles ...

Re: We interrupt the Tuesday Tripe to bring you...
MaryAnn:Sigh. A pity, Rabbit, that you refer to today's poem as ''tripe'' when you later decide that it's actually ''not bad.'' Yes. Not bad for the Tuesday Tripe, as I then specify. If you quote me, then quote me in context. ;) Now -- go look at the videos. Please. wr ()()
