Oy Bay Dragnet – Thanksgiving Edition
Posted by Oyster on November 20, 2007
It’s been a while since we netted a big harvest, but it’s bountiful mateys! Who knew that wild turkeys swam in the murky, brackish bay water!?
- Our little sister, CBDYAG blog, gets a gajillion hits for Thanksgiving-related searches.
- We found some new Oy Bay Area Jew blogs! Like Back of the Hill, who is trying to figure out why Orthodox Jews study Nazi sex fantasies day & night. Or the vigilant pro-Israel agitations of her majesty, Cinnamon Stillwell. And I was totally floored to find out that the JSN has surreptitiously started a parasha ha’shvuah (weekly Torah portion) blog, and then had the supreme chutzpah not to inform me. Here’s an entry about Thanksgiving.
- Heather Gold has a podcast up of her latest kibbitz blowout.
- Black Jews, Christians, & Muslims in Uganda grow caffinated beans for fun & profit.
- Friar Yid whipping up a tizzy over at his home turf.
- Eli Raber of the Bay Area Tribe wants ALL BAY AREA YIDS to report for drunken ridiculousness this Hanukah.
- Ba’Inyanim posted something. In Hebrew. I’m sure its awesome, whatever it says about young Israelis returning (tshuvah?).
- Sra bitch-slaps the Jewish establishment. Upside the head. With a knuckle-duster.
- Rachel waxes nostalgic over the ten years since she became a Daughter of the Covenant.
- In case you forgot, Thanksgiving is totally kosh!

Oyster, at Thanksgiving one should be appreciating what one has, not jealous of what one doesn’t. I’m flattered you’re trying to steal page views from your Sister blog CBDYAG, but please stop stealing CBDYAG views. Jealousy isn’t pretty on you. There’s enough blog readers (people and programs) out there for us both to share nicely. So in good faith and sharing here’s another thanksgiving, the most popular search term related to the holiday.

Uh, are you confused, CBG? First, I linked *to* the CBDYAG blog. How is that stealing views?
Maybe if I posted on the CBDYAG blog, and linked to Oy Bay, then you could accuse me of that.
And in case my explicit emoticon isn’t clear enough, I’m amused and happy that the CBDYAG blog is getting so much traffic. Remember, I write for it, too. May it go from strength to strength.

The post on “Ba’Inyanim” announces a talk/meeting that took place on Nov 19. The topic was information and benefits for young adults who intend to go back to Israel.

Thanks for the kind mention! I’ve added you to my blogroll and will definitely be checking in for local tidbits.
We posted the item about “Campus Battleground” screening at Campus Watch, by the way:

Not sure I can catch it, but the heads-up is most appreciated.

Belated thanks for the link. For the interested, there was a follow-up to that post here.
And I would have gone to Campus Battleground had I not been busy hacking up a lung at home.

I know it’s almost a month later, but I’m finally catching up on my RSS feeds from when I was in South Africa, so…THANKS for the shoutout, Oy Bay!! <3
