Today's featured shit

I have 137 e-mails to read. Literally!

Seriously, if you need me these days, an IM, text or phone call are the way to go. Or you can e-mail joel@joelshitshow.com and be No. 138. But only if you have a Spanish-tiled kitchen.

seanmattson: I usually read 3 books at a time, light (funny, satirical), serious fiction and horror or a spy novel
and switch between them depending on my mood
Joel: that’s what I do with cereal

“I need to edit the text I submitted via the below link. Rather than make multiple revisions, can you let me know when you’re ready to publish, and I’ll get you the latest version? Several people need to ‘pee’ on this before it goes live.”

Ex 21:7-36. Laws for Maidservants.

7-11. if a man sell his daughter—Hebrew girls might be redeemed for a reasonable sum. But in the event of her parents or friends being unable to pay the redemption money, her owner was not at liberty to sell her elsewhere. Should she have been betrothed to him or his son, and either change their minds, a maintenance must be provided for her suitable to her condition as his intended wife, or her freedom instantly granted.

Leviticus 25:44 allows you to own slaves, provided they are from neighboring nations.

You may also sell your daughter into slavery (exodus 21:7).

I’ll be the first to admit that this post is more for me than anyone else. I have been trying to figure out what they say in the 12″ version of I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You a Rose Garden) by Kon Kan, and someone on YouTube posted it.

This is not the video of the song, but the comments have the information I have sought for more than 18 years.

– Ei, vamos dançar!
– Ah, eu não sei…
– A única coisa que você tem que fazer é mover as suas pernas.
– Que música é essa que tá tocando?
– Eu não te entendo.
– Eu não te entendo?! Eu não entendi!

Or in English:

– Hey, let’s dance!
– Oh, I don’t know…
– The only thing you have to do is move your legs.
– What is the name of this song that is playing?
– I don’t understand you.
– Don’t you understand me? I didn’t understand!

This makes me happier than you can realize. And I am already pretty happy. You’ll find out why in Episode 500.
