Anybody for a round of I'm A Little Dreidel?

 

O.J. Simpson.

Not a Jew.

 

I'm the king of dreidel. I'll bust a gimmel on your ass and take the whole damn pot of gelt!

Seriously, though, I'm in the mood for a big ol' plate of latkes. Anyone wanna bring the apple sauce and sour cream?

 

But guess who is -- Hall of Famer Rod Carew.

He converted.

 

"10 Things That Sound Dirty on Chanukah, But Aren't"

1. Get out the oil and let's get started!
2. I hate cleaning up the drippings afterwards.
3. Nice potatoes!
4. I have a little dreidl ...
5. Take your position at the table.
6. You can play with it when my turn's over.
7. Can I unwrap the big one first?
8. The meat seems a bit tough this year.
9. Look at the size of his gift!
10. It snapped in half when I tried to stick it in the little hole.

 

This might out me to some, but my alma mater used to hold an annual latke v. hamentash debate at this time of year, and would get ridiculously overqualified speakers to argue for both sides.

My verdict?

Delicious.

 

Yummy, yummy, yummy. Bummed I don't live in a place with a large Jewish population.
