YourishCon: getting on the bandwagon
I simply can’t let all the other bloggers have all the fun and schedule all the conventions. So I’m announcing YourishCon, a convention where my readers, and anyone else interested (all six of them) will get together and discuss very Yourish-y issues. A tentative schedule of panel discussions:
Anti-Semitism: We Know It Exists, Now Can We Have Lunch? Panelists will discuss anti-Semitism, and then go to lunch.
Anti-Israel Media Bias: Yes, We Know It Exists, Now Can We Have Lunch? Panelists will discuss the anti-Israel media bias, then go to lunch.
Terrorism: Yes, Yes, Yes, But When is Lunch? Panelists will discuss terrorism, and then discuss when to have lunch.
The Great Chicken Soup Debate: What To Put In, What To Take Out. Panelists will discuss their chicken soup recipes, and their bubbes’ recipes handed down over the generations. All sharp instruments, including pens, will be removed from the room before the discussion begins. Guests are encouraged not to sit in the first three rows.
Catblogging: How Much Is Too Much? Hosted by Laurence Simon. Panelists will not include Kevin Drum. Tigger and Gracie will make a special guest appearance via webcam. If they’re not sleeping.
Hulk Smash: Don’t Mess With Me About My Guy. Meryl spends the entire panel discussion proving that Hulk can beat any other comic book character, up to and including Superman and Galactus. Parents are urged to leave children at home, as this discussion has been known to bring them to tears. (Read the title: Don’t Mess With Me About My Guy.)
Please feel free to add your own suggestions for panels and guest-moderators.

Catcall just matched a kittycat and her kittens with a new mommy, so I believe the answer to “Can there be too much catblogging?” is “No.”

So are we going to eat at the “Good Ukrops” or are you going all out with Brocks?

How about this one:
Swearing on your blog: why not?
or
How to marinate best a PETA activist?
or
Golem against Hulk: why is it like beating up a baby? And why thinking differently is Anti-Semitic?

Now, Snoopy. You know we can’t have any anti-Hulk panels at YourishCon. (Or should I call it Yourish.comCon?)
I will absolutely grant that the Golem — the real Golem, not the one they animated in stories and comics — can kick the Hulk’s ass, but that’s because G-d is animating the Golem. And it’s totally not fair to make Hulk fight G-d.
Hulk is my pal.
It can also be argued that the Hulk is modeled after the Golem as well. Which could be an entirely different panel. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby: Both members of the Tribe.

“Anti-Israel Media Bias–When It Will End and When the Messiah Will come: now, can we go have dinner?”
“Anti-Semitism: My Plan to Stop It and My Plan to Get a Date With Lucy Lawless: now let’s go find dinner.”

I’ll be happy to offer my services and run a seminary on 1000 uses for a dead cat.

I’m still convinced that Hulk can pet Tig and Gracie without mishap.

How about a round table about potatos? Roasted, boiled fried or mashed, how do you make your spuds.

Shawarma or Gefiltefish?
Falafel or Kugel?
Sufganiyot or Latkes?
When do we eat?
