Who spiked the Chanukah donuts?

Is it me, or do these sufganiyot taste funny?

Alcohol importers in Israel have decided to market their vodka in an original way: By hiring a pastry chef who is also a bartender to create vodka-soaked donuts ahead of the holiday of Hanukkah.

"Adults await sufganiyot (Hanukkah donuts) no less than children do," a source from the company that imports "Hortiza", the vodka to be infused into the donuts, said.

"Therefore," he added, "we have decided to launch a line of donuts suitable for adults and party-goers."

A 100 gram donut, sold at the price of NIS 4.5 (about $1.18), contains 90 milliliters of vodka diluted with jam.

The vodka contains 35% alcohol, and the alcohol content of each donut is equal to that of a bottle of beer.

I don’t understand your logic. What did the Zionists have to do with drek and why were the Russians spying on drek.

I didn’t know drek had a voice ........ uhhhhhhhhhh ......... maybe you are its spokesman? ....... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ..... this would explain you all the way.

Nah. Couldn’t be. Most likely you are just assembling diatribes and nonsense phrases to get a rise out of the unsuspecting public --- pretty much imitating Sarah Palin’s mode of operation.

It worked. For a while I thought you were just another hate-filled, mindless Jew hater writing vicious, scathing slander about Jews and Israel. Such haters write in the wandering, almost unintelligible style you use, including sentences that contradict themselves within their structure.

I was wrong. You are just a lousy writer trying to get a rise out of the public. So I will go my way and you can slog along your way.

In short, as it is said in Tancredes 3:26: “Let yee who hath not, yet hath to be, soweth the first grains of harvest, for it is with yee that hindering the kindred shall bring forth the wine in the Fourth Season and the oil on a Tuesday, yet shall it be still the Season.”

After reading your stuff I now understand the above quote.

NOTE: There were a number of other comments on this page which were rather banal enough to have been deleted.

I write this because without them my comment makes no sense, although reading it now I am trying to remember why I ... hee hee ... thought it once did.
