Do not be fooled by imitators.
I am the originator of the concept of Israeli Yokelism.
I originally entitled it: The Pathetic Rustic Insularity of Israeli Yokelism.
It was chapter five in the Frank Jacuzzi rough draft E-book.
If you see any writer out there talking about Israeli provincialism or Yokelism, then just know they stole it from me.
Israeli yokelism expresses itself in every facet of Israeli life, from the stereotypes they maintain about each other, the simplicity of their concepts of freedom and liberty, in mental process they go through is picking a party to vote for, to the ways in which
they manage their finances.
its real and its dangerous. but I suppose its hard to avoid smallness in a country where you cant drive 30 miles in almost any direction without being reminded of ones mortality...or maybe not, what do I know.
go figure.

Its been a long time...
And to paraphrase Timbaland, I shouldn't have left you without a dope post to step to.
After much coaxing from fellow bloggers I have decided to return; in what capacity I am still unsure.
But in any case, many of you know that I shut down the Jacuzzi. sad I know. It was great but now like a boxer must discard pound after pound of sweaty useless fat so too has the Jacuzzi gone the way of a young James Dean.
btw--I saw the movie transformers a few days ago and wept like a baby watching Optimus Prime get his ass kicked by megatron.
That was so stupid and really sucked. the footage of their fight scenes was kinda of lame in comparison to one fight seen when OP actually stabs another robot through the head with an awesome sword of death.
You cant make a transformers movie where Prime gets his ass beat! its absolutely stupid.
Whats next, thundercats with a gay Lion-o?
