It's been a while since I've seen someone shpritz a spiel as well as you just did.

I stored up 2 weeks of morning drive conversations with my bother Jay. It inspired me.

I always heard it said/saw it spelled it as farkakte or verkakte, rooted from farkakt.

Probably no one under age 89 has spelled it :)

Holy moly; cream cheese on a lox bagel with smoked salmon, you captured them all brother. No question Steve, this was indeed the full schmear.

Kudos.

I formulated a response to Steve’s Yiddish primer, but I do not want to be banned from the comment stream :)

There must be a bible quote about a man banning his own brother after he crapped all over a blog thread, but admittedly I am not a biblical scholar.

Great to see you are still kicking around J.

Yup still kicking. I keep the off color responses to Steve directed to his cell phone :)
