My desi best friend has a sister who used to work for the Bush administration in a position that put her in contact with royalty from the tiny little countries at the bottom of the arabian penninsula. The stink when she thought about marrying one of those guys was legendary.

It's comforting to know that my family will put up with just about anyone at this point, so long as he's not an Orthodox Jewish heavy metal guitarist. I have worked at lowering the bar.

He's currently shacked up with a Catholic Puerto Rican. Nearly killed his mother.

Me neither, alas! I remember the good old days, when Sluggy was actually funny (maybe it got funny again, haven’t read it in years!) But I still think it’s funny that my Jewish/Judaism icon is vampire-slaying Riff with a star of david instead of a cross, so I’ve kept it. Probably no one else in the world catches that it's my Judaism icon, because it's mostly badass Riff and Bun-bun. But I don't care!
