Jager was really popular in the 90s in the L.A. music scene. I always thought it tasted like cough syrup though
Honestly I'm surprised I like Jager. I don't like a lot of things, so many things are bitter and nasty to me, but I like Jager.

I have to get up at 7 in the morning tomorrow for a group I'm not moving with. There are benefits to going, but this group might get scared of me to hear me speak without censor and learn of some of the things I like.

Be sure to check boxes of bananas for spiders: Spider Capable of Causing Permanent Erections Shuts Down Entire Supermarket

An Austrian supermarket has been temporarily shut down after one of the world's most dangerous spiders was discovered in a box of bananas.

The Brazilian Wandering Spider, which potentially roamed the aisles of a supermarket owned by the Rewe Retail Group in a town 45 miles west of Vienna, was spotted, according to the Daily Mail.

A bizarre side effect of this spider's bites is its ability to cause painful, hours-long erections. The impact is so dramatic that some scientists have studied the arachnid as part of research for impotence treatments like Viagra.

"The erection is a side effect that everybody who gets stung by this spider will experience along with the pain and discomfort," researcher Romulo Leite told Live Science.

In addition to causing erections, Brazilian Wandering Spider bites can cause an array of other dangerous symptoms. Within just 30 minutes of being bitten, victims can experience rapid changes in blood pressure and heart rate, blurred vision, and convulsions, according to the outlet.

A store manager discovered the spider while inspecting a shipment of fruit on Tuesday, according to the Austrian newspaper Niederösterreichische Nachrichten.

By the time the manager was able to contact the fire department, the spider had vanished. Since then, the arachnid has remained out of sight.

"Despite an extensive search, no spiders have been found to date," officials told the Austrian paper.

The store will remain closed until it has been thoroughly cleaned and all contaminated produce removed.

So, there's a dangerous spider from Brazil on the loose in Austria.

Last year, they were able to get free tickets but things have changed. And in addition to having to pay for admission if they wish to watch the tournament, club members aren’t allowed to use the course or any of the facilities during the tournament.

“All the members are [furious]… They’re closing the course, the pool, the restaurant, and we pay a lot of money to use those,” a source told Page 6.

This was weird. It looks like more trouble in Trumpville. Of course, one might wonder why they're making such a big deal over a $40 ticket when they're already paying $350,000 for a golf club membership.

When I was young, I did not want to learn Yiddish which was a mistake on a couple of levels. One is that my parents could talk about me and would not understand them.

The other was not understanding the lyrics of some songs they played. I thought, for example, that Der Rebbe Elimelech was a song about a Rabbi. Well, sort of. It was really about a drunken party. If they had told me, I might be fluent in Yiddish today. But the Internet/google turned a hazy memory into:

The song ends:

Di shikere kapelye fun raben melekh-elieh,
hot oysgeshtelt dem dales a fayg.
Di freylekhe kapelye
hot gehopket biz der stelie
un zikh farbitn mitn klaper-getsayg:

Di fidldike poyker
hobn tsimbldik gefidlt,
un bronfndik gegosn zikh mit vayn.
Di lustike klezmorim
mit flesher untern orem,
hoben geholiet biz in heln tog arayn.

Translated:

The drunk band from Rabbi Melekh Elieh
gave poverty the fig-finger gesture
the happy band
had hopped to the ceiling
and traded with paraphernalia.

The fiddling drummer
had fiddled cymballingly
and liquor-flowed himself with wine
The cheerful musicians
with bottles under their arms
caroused brightly till the next day.

My ex-wife's parents did not want their kids to learn Italian....for the very reason they could talk about them
