It seems as though an amusement park’s critical acclaim is related to the quality of their themed areas. Busch Gardens Tampa has designed their different sections to resemble the jungle, Disneyland has worlds like Frontierland, Tomorrowland and Have-Your-Wallet-Raped-By-Donald-Duck-Land, Six Flags Magic Mountain is themed like a place where you can be robbed by gangs of [...]

Judaism Would Be More Intimidating If We Had Jewish-Themed Rides And Sections at Amusement Parks

maxlance1 I Suck At Dating In L.A. For The Same Reason That Finches on Each Galapagos Island Have Different Beaks
August 20th, 2010
maxlance1 After three years of living in Los Angeles, it’s become obvious that all the genetic dispositions and traits I adapted to thrive in New York’s dating scene are completely useless when dating in Los Angeles.

Where Does the Ankle-Length Denim Skirt Rank Amongst Bad Jewish Fashion?
May 14th, 2009

Jews and Extreme Sports
April 22nd, 2009

It’s a lose-lose situation. Either you go out and try and compete in extreme sports, but then you endlessly get nagged about your padding being [...]

April 22nd, 2009
maxlance1 I moved into a new apartment a couple weeks ago and my roommate has this very cute dog (a puggle, in case you were curious), which I’m sort of a surrogate co-owner in a way right now. What’s strange about the relationship between me and the dog, however, is that I find myself acting like [...]
The Modern Jew
February 17th, 2009
maxlance1 The Modern Jew has nothing to do with religion. You’re pretty much an athiest, but you’re stuck with all these spot-on stereotypes and personality traits that are undeniably Jewish. It’s sort of like being a black person except the exact opposite. These stereotypes include, but are not limited to, living in New York or Los [...]
