The Rantings of A Frum Yid With A Warped Perspective

Poking fun at Hockers and BT’s (video)

November 14th, 2008 · 4 Comments

This was filmed on the deck of a ski house that my friends rented for the weekend, it was pitch black and they really didn’t want to be seen anyway, the dialog was great. If you understand hockers and yeshivish culture in general I think your going to love this video.

November 8th, 2008 · 11 Comments

If you have a good understanding of what a hocker or macher is - this video hits home. If not, wish you luck in understanding it. (the sound was not too great- and the title is just because I couldn’t figure a better one out)

Overheard at Subsational

October 27th, 2008 · 38 Comments

I was sitting at Subsational on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn eating a most enjoyable honey barbeque steak sandwich when I overheard a couple of yeshiva hocker types chatting. There was one guy in a bright colored button down shirt talking to this sephardi looking guy in a zippered up sweater, who was eating a [...]

The Hipster Olympics (hilarious video)

October 26th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I have wondered if any hipsters actually read my blog, but I know I have loads of readers in Brooklyn where the hipsters are centered on the east coast. I haven’t actually figured out what a hipster is, but I have an idea. Tight pants, single speed antique bikes, plaid shirts, and jackets that look [...]

Crown Heights Simchas Bais Hoshoeva: Photos and Thoughts

October 19th, 2008 · 54 Comments

Anti Indulgence Chassidim in Williamsburg ban Choice!!!

October 16th, 2008 · 21 Comments

All those theories about freedom of choice and God knowing all drive me so crazy that I choose to just ignore everything and go along in my partially blind faith- “how can God know everything that will happen yet [...]

Why do cheesy carnivals and uncle moishy come to mind?

October 16th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Whenever I think of lame Chol Hamoed Sukkos I think of Uncle Moishy and closed off streets in Borough Park filled with cheesy rides and families with all the kids dressed alike. I also think of overpriced Jewish concerts in Brooklyn College that advertise family seating and separate seating as well.
Oh and let us not [...]

Do you own a frummy car

September 21st, 2008 · 16 Comments

I don’t know when the switch happened, but somewhere along the way frummies started driving minivans, thats when it all went downhill. But who remembers the days of the true Borough Park car as my father liked to call them? The days when bumpers were held together with fishing wire, duct tape and bungee cords [...]
