The weekly carnival of law blogs (“blawgs”) is Blawg Review. I did the second one and then was given the Chanuka gig a couple of years running.
That played out and I figured I was probably off the hook. Then “Ed,” the editor of Blawg Review, “assigned” me the Rosh Hashanah Blawg Review.
And there went my weekend.
Now everyone has to read it. That means you.
As a reward, however, you get to enjoy this video that was a response to Scott Greenfield‘s crack on Twitter that he was beginning to guess that maybe I was Jewish. I said sure, next thing you’ll tell me is that you can tell because I supposedly talk with my hands, and, well….
Nu, I have to wait for the signature page of this affidavit to get here okay? If you had anything better to do would you be reading a blog?
(The original, much less amusing video is here.)

Ron,
I can’t believe it! This song is my father’s favorite song in the world, as well as mine, pretty much, and also a bunch of friends…and many a time we have played it and danced a real stomp down, at parties, most recently on New Year’s Eve, when we danced ourselves into a very amusing frenzy and almost became Romanian by the end of it.
As long as you didn’t ask any Romanians how impressed they were about you guys now being “almost Romanian,” I’m sure it was all good!
I’ve watched it a few times, loving the music and laughing hysterically. :-)
The video was very good as was the blawging. However, I’m worried that, contrary to every report by my own Italian ancestors, all Italians are Jewish. I could have sworn we were Catholic, but the “talking with our hands” evidence is overwhelming.
Even more disturbing, when I wear my black cloth coat and Aussie style felt hat (which looks something like this), Yossi Ben-David says I look like everybody’s Jewish uncle from Brooklyn.
My Mom looks like the half-Irish, half English woman she is. My Dad looks Italian. How did I end up looking Jewish?
You say maybe there was a mixup at the hospital? What? In 1960? At Saint Mary’s? With Menorah Hospital a short distance away?
Doesn’t seem likely. Gotta be something more nefarious.
Yours,
Wince
The Catholic Church and the International Zionist Conspiracy are fully allied in their plot for world domination, and are in fact the same organization.
You grew up Catholic, Tom, you know all this. Stop being in denial about it, you Jew!
Dean,
1. Pick up that drink you knocked over while commenting, you convert. Catholics talk with their hands, not type with their hands… Err, ep, uh… you know what I mean!
2. Shhhh! People who grew up Protestant read this blog! How can I keep them in the dark with you blabbing this sort of thing all over the place?
Yours,
Wince
No, all Italians aren’t Jewish. But most of them are probably part Jewish. Or vice-versa.
Bloody Romans! Probably their fault.
Yeah, actually, mostly, yes! And not quite the way they suggest in the movie… though that scene is funny.
There was hardly universal support among Jews for the revolt against Rome.
