Most of the "jokes" are so ridiculous that the BT would or should just tell you off. Or at least not respond. Not all that funny.

No one wants to invite him over on Shabbos for this very reason. Tell them that flushing their toilet on shabbos is forbidden because it carries stuff from rishus hayachid to rishus harabim,

Hesh, your blog is many things, but "dry" or "satirical" it is not. That doesn't mean it's not funny (that is a matter of opinion), but I just don't think those words mean what you think they mean. Perhaps "hodgepodge of sloppy observations" is a better way to describe the humor found here. I’m not going to weigh in on any of the opinions expressed here, except for one, which I’ll agree with.

I know a Chabad rabbi who was once hosting a BT, and the BT was so nervous he was doing everything exactly like the rabbi. The rabbi took a bite of food, the BT took a bite. The rabbi wiped his mouth, the BT wiped his mouth. So the rabbi touched his ear, then his nose, then slid his hand around his head. The BT hesitated a little confused, then did the exact same thing. lol. It's good to see other people in similar postions are just as nervous and trying just as hard, that's what makes this post so comforting to BT's and me--I'm not the only idiot in the world ;) Thank you FrumSatire guy! lol reading all the comments.

My first Shabbos at Chabad. Cruel Cruel joke! And I'm not just BT I'm a convert. A good thing would be to have a BT stand near the front of the shul so that during L'cha Dodi, you could see how many people behind him don't turn toward the door when he doesn't.

Also, if you've seen these BTs making 'mistakes' why don't you just let them know instead of letting them embarrass themselves further! hello! moshe, as a fellow bt I understand that you realize the importance of going out and learning as opposed to just sitting around waiting for information to appear, but that does NOT mean that you can just judge other people and try to embarrass them(not saying that you are, but I am saying that people can if they actually take this list seriously).
