It may be a speed record, but it may not be (we've had some amazing posters fly through as the years went by). But regardless, it is a time of significance.

Forty-nine days then? I'll do some math on that with your post number around midnight. Because I couldn't even guess how many more posts you might have today. The recent posts thing is only showing 50, but I'm guessing you've made more than that.

Wow. And to think I registered a couple of months before you. I guess I just don't have that kind of dedication and moxie...

I remember when Pod started a thread about his 1337 post. I always thought that many posts would take years to reach. At the time, it did. Then Jon Boy and T_Smith came along. :D Now speed seems to be the norm.
Have a merry ride to 10,000, Tante.

I'm glad to have you here, Tante. The first time I saw your screen name, I had to call my mother to confirm what Tante and Shvester mean. You can't imagine how long it took me to explain. Posts: 3037 | Registered: Jan 2002

Oh, one other thing: How the HELL did you reach so many posts? I'm one of the real active ones here, with over twn posts a day - but you are so recent that I feel like an alte kakke. 1000 posts! Wow! I reached 2,360, roughly, and still I don't get how you post more quickly than kq.
I look at her post count. One minute it's 3,500, the next moment 4,500, and the next over 6,000. You are beating her at this rate.
A shiur is a religious lesson or lecture, usually given by a rabbi. While they can be held on any day, many people make a special point to attend shiur on Shabbos (that is, the Sabbath)
Grand Chasidic rabbis often go by the nickname of the Chasidic branch that they lead. The Rabbi who leads the Lubovitch group would be known as the Lubovitcher Rebbe. Rebbe just means "Rabbi".
We are getting closer to the funny part...
The Yiddish word for "sleep" is shluff. "The Shluffer Rebbe" therefore sounds like the appellation of a Grand Chasidic Rebbi, but there is no group of "Shluff Chasids" -- it is just an invented name.
Attending shiur with the Shluffer Rebbe, is a joking way to say you are going to sleep, but making it sound like you are going to a deeply important religious study session.
Trust me, the joke was waaaay funnier before I explained all the life out of it. Posts: 10397 | Registered: Jun 2005

It was. It was a brilliant one, but you'd have to have some Jewish background in order to understand it. So the explanation - while excellent - doesn't help too much. It's too Jewish a joke.

Funny, I thought it was pretty darned funny once it was explained, and I have no-where near a Jewish background in any way shape or form.
