Jonathan Richman Taught Me About The Jewish Princess Concept, My Mom Demonstrated The Jewish Martyr Position
"Hey, I found one of those books for you--the other one was out of print but I gave them your name. I'll send the other one over."
"Thanks so much, mom."
"You owe me."
"I know, I'll work on my tab when I get back."
"Are you kidding? You'll never be able to do that--I think I've become one of those Jewish martyr mothers. I've had a lot of them in my classes. I even taught one class at a Jewish center. I learned a lot. You're always gonna be in my debt."
A Plea
Does anyone in the greater Los Angeles/Orange County area have some fancy cable setup with like, special sports channels, specifically ones that show Euro Cup games live? Johan is in California, and tomorrow night Sweden plays Denmark. I'd try to make a analogy to express the importance of this game in terms of national rivalries, but it's impossible because America doesn't seem to recognize any other countries. Also, the outcome of the game determines who advances to the quarter finals. There's been talk of a Swedish-Danish conspiracy to tie the game at 2-2 or above so as to put Italy out of the running, but these people are high. Anyways, if you have a black box or crazy cable, or ordered the Euro Cup package, let me know. Thank you!
