For Christmas my daughter gave me a book named NIGHT. It was about the Holocaust and this guy Wiesel who survived the concentration camps. I'm fascinated by the Holocaust and have read dozens of books about it.
So after we opened presents and had some breakfast I dove on the couch and read the book (it's fairly thin...the book, not the couch)
Horrible, horrible stuff happens to this guy but it doesn't seem to bother him. All he thinks about the whole time is getting one more ration of bread and one more ration of this watered down potato soup. Torture and experiments and beatings and death and all this guy can think about is another ration of stale bread and crappy soup. This went on for a few years for him. Bread. Soup. His whole stinking life revolved around that. He thought of nothing else. Bread. Soup. He'd make 'trades' for another ration of bread. Do favors for another ration of water soup. He dreamt about crusts of bread and gray soup. Someone would die next to him and he thought of stealing their ration. Soup and bread. Bread and soup.
Retard.
If I was there in that camp I'd be making trades for lasagna and pork chops. Pancakes and cookies. Bacon sandwiches. Crisp red delicious apples. I'd be dreaming about corn on the cob drenched in butter and covered in salt. Mashed potatoes. I'd be wheelin'' and dealin' my shoes for a rib eye on scalloped potatoes covered in beef gravy. I'd be shining Nazi shoes for country fried chicken. "I'll trade you my blanket for that Sweet Potato Pie" and on and on....
But this dude Wiesel thought only of stale bread and pale soup. And only did favors and trades for bread and soup. Heck, maybe that's just what he liked to eat. I shouldn't judge his poor taste in food.
Very strange.
I also thought it strange that I got a book about the death of millions of Jews on the day we celebrate the birth of one Jew.
Why don't Christians celebrate the birth of a Christian?
Retards.
(I don't actually HEART the Holocaust...I just HEART reading about it)
maybe soup and bread was the "ribeyes" to him?
ReplyDeletebut mmmmmmmm sweet potato pie!!!
and I HATE the phrase "I HEART"
I ANGRYFACE the phrase I HEART also.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry. After reading a blog about the holocaust.
ReplyDeleteThat's so very, very wrong.
Having read the book I was going to lambaste you for being so uncaring and hurtful. Then I got to the part about the bacon sandwiches and couldn't have agreed with you more. That guy's retarded.
ReplyDeleteummmmmmmmmm BACON!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand Waffles!!!
oh and Pancakes!!!
No pancakes at the Holocaust Waffle House.
ReplyDeleteWhen did things go to helen ena handbasket?
ReplyDelete"When did things go to helen ena handbasket?"
ReplyDeleteAround February of last year.
NoOprah:
ReplyDeleteI was all set to offer sympathy, as well as a reading list of other Holocaust literature (took a course in college, still have most of the books).
Then I got to the "meat" of your post.
You sick bastard. I love you, man.
-- Lamont Cranston
P.S. I make the best Chanukah latkes of anyone I know. My secret -- which everyone who comes to eat 'em knows, so it really isn't much of a secret -- is that I use bacon grease.
"so it really isn't much of a secret -- is that I use bacon grease."
ReplyDeleteI'm converting as we speak.
You'll have to change your name to bacon epstein. And you'll have to have the tip of your pee-pee cut off.
ReplyDelete-- Lamont Cranston
If you aren't going to eat that bread and warm water, can you pass it to me? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou do realize your daughter's smarter than you.
ReplyDeleteShe got you "Night" because SHE knew what you didn't-that it was on Oprah's "Must Read" book list.
Oprah and Eli even did a special show where they visited Auswitch together. I'm not sure if he showed her where the buffet table for guests was though.
Good job IANO's daughter! I know you're secretly laughing because you got your dad to read an Oprah Recommended book. You deserve the Dean's List.
The little OPRAH sticker was on the book and she said "I'm sorry I didn't take that off, Dad"
ReplyDeleteI grounded her for a week.
She's still laughing.
ReplyDeleteNext year you'll get a book by Toni Morrison. About the Holocaust, of course.
Bemis:
ReplyDeleteLet's do one better than that...let's start a write-in campaign to get OPRAH to actually come by his shop next Christmas. Ha!
"And you'll have to have the tip of your pee-pee cut off."
ReplyDeleteAgain!?!?!?!?!?!
Can you imagine IANO's face when "O" walks through the door??!!!
ReplyDeletemouth drops open and he'll utter....Pancakes!!!!!!!
Dear Oprah:
ReplyDeleteIf you do this one thing for me, I promise to never ever ever make fun of you ever ever again.
Never ever. And you can have my first born.
Sincerely,
Cake
"A sandwich is a sandwich,
ReplyDeleteBut an Auswitch is a meal (of bread and water)"
Cake,
ReplyDeleteI'm all over it.
Except remember one thing....
After a visit by "O," IANO will become a national celebrity and his store will suddenly transform into a multimiliion dollar franchise and he'll write books called stuff like "The Republican Road to Happiness" and his face will be on billboards....
Do we REALLY want this?
i'm sorrry but u people need to have respect for ellie wiesel! he's an elder man and he went through alot to stay alive!!!! and all u guys talk about is how u feel it's retated that he only thought of ood and bread which true cuase with all do repect miss but if u read the book throuly he thought of his father and family untill the very end!!
ReplyDeleteA true miracle he survived all those years in the Death Camps, every one else was dead a half hour after getting off the trains. After reading every word of your review I stood up and yelled, "au schwitz"!!!!!
