We've decided to go completely traditional Polish this year with a healthy supply of pierogis, kielbasa and sauerkraut. A little labor intensive, but worth it! The only tragic part is OR doesn't seem to have a single Pol living here, so a good sausage is not available.
In the meantime, I'll take an egg nog with as shot of bourbon, please.

Yum...I would enjoy Christmas at your house! I've worked with the Polish a lot this year and have developed a fondness for the country and for the food. Even though Egg Nog isn't Polish, adding the Bourbon makes it a Kentucky treat and thus, perfect for the occasion! But, I thought you were Czech.

Months ago, there was a discussion of Yiddish going on in The Lounge. I am sure that Scuba Chick will find and post the threads.
I found this site that lists several Yiddish songs and some YouTube Yiddish videos. Thought I'd post it as a "Christmas Present" to those of you that are interested.

In case you aren't aware, DLFan beat AuCarol 79-74 to take the title.
You can thank me later for dropping NE DST so you could pick them up as a gift since they were playing the Fins.

Ahhh, geez... 
Why hold back, just give us a straight-up Polack joke. Here's my favorite:
A Polack walks into a bar for as late night drink. He sits at the bar and orders a beer. When the bartender brings it over, the Polack points to the 11 o'clock news where the is a story of a guy who is about to jump off a building.
"I'll bet you $50 he doesn't do it" the Polack says.
"You're on!" And the banter ensues.
"Jump!"
"No, don't do it!!!"
The guy jumps with a dramatic splat, and the Polack begrudgingly pays up. "Why'd you make that bet?" the bartender says "He totally looked like he was going to do it."
"I know," he replied "but I saw it on the six o'clock news and I never thought he'd do it TWICE!!"

Congratulations. This was the ultimate worst to first story and perhaps the greatest upset in the history of sport for DLfan to go from a 3-10 regular season.
In case you aren't aware, DLFan beat AuCarol 79-74 to take the title.

A man went for breakfast at his regular restaurant and ordered the Eggs Benedict. The order was served on a bright, shiny upside down hubcap.
When he asked about the unusual presentation, the waiter replied, "There's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise."
