The reports are in...

As today was visiting day for Nageela girls, and for some reason some Nageela guys thought this would be a good time to visit CNB... We got some reports on the new construction. The Social hall is much bigger and has a huge stage. Dining room is bigger too.
We'll post pics soon.

nageela useless fact

"Almost" is the longest word in the English language where all the letters are in order.
(Can you think of the longest Hebrew or yiddish word)

Who is he really- the fans speak...

Here are two Shaya's history submissions- I don't really uinderstand 'em, but here they are:

One day Shaya called Dell with a complaint: "The cup holder on my PC is broken. It's within the warranty period, so I'd like it replaced."
"Excuse me, sir? I don't understand. Did you say your PC has a cup holder?
"Actually, it has 2."
"Sir, Dell does not make PCs with cup holders. I'm not sure how you got yours."
"Ma'am," Shaya replied, "It even says Dell on the cup holder. Right next to the place where it says DVD."
-annonymous

My fav Shaya Hecht story involves a tractor trailer, a deflated beach ball, and two harmonicas. It was back in 99, when th'folk in Waymart PA congregated for a rally against tigerlillies. Shaya was illuminated as he should be, and he sang a song. I know, how ridiculous. Shaya Hecht singing? Never!
-submitted by Yoyosh (does anybody know who that is?)

Who is he, really?

Shaya Hecht has presented himself as a fine (cough), upstanding (ahem) and respectable (gurgle, burp, spit) Jewish boy.

However, some rumors have been spreading about his checkered past. Was he involved with an illegal goat smuggling ring? Did he once perform opera while wearing argyle socks?

Send me your Shaya's history story, and if it's good, I'll post it here on the blog. Then we can email his Mom and let her enjoy.

Yes, they will be heavily censored. Keep it fairly un-terrible.
Come on- stay away from boring old dorky stories... you can do better.

Intense competition


The intense competition, the drive to succeed. The knowledge that this contest is just incredibly big- that you've been training your whole lief just for this big game! What a feeling the is. What exhilaration! In preparation, I work towards my goal the entire year. I know the game isn't until the summer, but I run miles each day, tone my muscles, sharpen my skills- I even try to catch flies with chopsticks. I must master myself. I must learn to control my body completely!
I visit the arena during the winter- snow piled ominously around, and my heart thumps as I envision myself holding that coveted trophy. That great award of tetherball mastery.
I am getting ready for our showdown.
I am getting ready Yitzy Shaps. And when the day comes, you will feel the full power of a trained, fit, and really, really cold challenger.
Watch out.
Yoni Hoch

UNITY...

Yes, perhaps Nageelans can even get along with waiters... check out this video.
