"They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore"

"kinky if there are people hating on you then you must be doing something good-luv your music!josh"

"I have been listening to Kinky since before many of you were born, & I have all of his LP's from the 70's in mint condition. Now, as for your question: You need to understand the genres of irony and satire. Kinky writes in the tradition of Gilbert & Sullivan and all of the satirists since. He even has a touch of Jonathan Swift. Anyway, I doubt if he is a "racist" in the sense that most liberals mean it. I suspect that he regards ALL humanity as a ship of fools. Now do some study."

Krav Maga (pronounced /ˌkrɑːv məˈɡɑː/; Hebrew: קרב מגע‎, IPA: [ˈkʁav maˈɡa], lit. "contact combat") is a hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel that involves striking techniques, wrestling and grappling, mostly known for its extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks, and is taught to regular and special forces in Israel.[1][2] It was derived from street-fighting skills developed by Imi Lichtenfeld, who made use of his training as a boxer and wrestler, as a means of defending the Jewish quarter against fascist groups in Bratislava[3] in the mid- to late-1930s. In the late-1940s, following his immigration to Israel, he began to provide hand-to-hand combat training to what was to become the IDF, who went on to develop the system that became known as Krav Maga. It has since been refined for civilian, police and military applications.[4]

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster,"

"Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) admits, "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster," referring to his idolizing the Lucchese crime family gangsters in his blue-collar, predominantly Italian-American neighborhood in East New York, Brooklyn in 1955. Wanting to be part of something significant, Henry quits school and goes to work for them. His Irish-American father, knowing the true nature of the Mafia, tries to stop Henry after learning of his truancy, but the gangsters threaten the local postal carrier with dire consequences should he deliver any more letters from the school to Henry's house. Henry is able to make a living for himself, and learns the two most important lessons in life: "Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut," the advice given to him after being acquitted of criminal charges early in his career."

Blast from the past: 'Guns 'n Moses'

They tell us that:

"Nic Sampson, Joseph Moore, and Drew Chappell. The Group consists of three hard-working full-time band members on minimum wage pay with a poor dental plan and no clean filters for the coffee machine. Nic Sampson, the group's most wildly-desired-by-himself member is the lead vocalist (or the one who makes sure he's sitting at the front) and lead/rythm/backing guitar, in his spare time he is a celebrity. Joseph Moore co-founded the group with Nic one rainy Wednesday lunchtime. He remains the most musically adept of the group and takes on the role of keyboards, guitars, mandolins, bass, baseballs, basic instinct, and bass (the fish). He also mixes the songs. In his spare time he is a celebrity. Drew Chappell is the group's newest member, knowing a good thing when he saw it and joining the group soon after it was formed and their letters to Mick Jagger asking him to join had gone unanswered. Drew quickly found that he fitted into the high-maintenance pressure-cooker that was the band, becoming a mediator for Nic's egotistical, relentless self-promotion (He has been pitching a new name for the band "Nic Sampson and the Yellow Power Rangers" for some time now) and Joe's drinking problems. He dusted off his great-grandfather's harmonica, and his great-grandmother's vocal chords and became backup singer and emergency comedian. In his spare time he is a celebrity and a nutcase."
