roach coach

the newer, industrial strength roach coach is a mini-restaurant on wheels that is mounted on a truck chassis and is about the size of a UPS truck. Typical coaches have sides that open up to reveal varions snack and beverage items, in addition to an order window where the smiling Hispanic gentleman and his wife/sister or other female cook take and fill orders. Previously confined to construction sites and garages, now the roach coach prowls office parks offering secretaries a fried breakfast and lunch. The call of the wild roach coach is an obnoxious semi-musical horn that calls the willing sheep to be sheared and then fattened up on grease-laden fare.
I 'ate' at the roach coach yesterday and had the trots all night.
When people bring in roach coach food, you can smell the grease all over the building.
Roach coach cooking is the opposite of good food.

Shtetl

old world view - where Ashkenazim lived in walled cities and swarmed all over each other for a few millenia. Russians, Poles and other hosts kept the Ashkenazim segregated in the shtetl.

new world view - any settlement with a high concentration of people of the Hebrew persuasion. Identifiable in any large metropolitan area in North America.

My ancestors lived in the Lodz shtetl. My wife's ancestors were Litwaks and Galicianers, although every family had some Cossack or Tartar DNA.

We cooked a great brisket in the shtetl, and a pretty good borscht, too. You could hear the violins every night.

Your neighbors know everything about you and your entire family and lineage in the shtetl.

Many find a bizarre comfort in the shtetl, at once claustrophobic and comforting, as opposed to the terrifying life outside the walls.

When you go to an event at the shtetl, you can get a free lucky number pogrom, but the prizes aren't what you would expect.

Rob Schneider

washed-up ex-SNL actor whose apogee was doing the 'making copies' skits about a hundred years ago. The rest of his oeuvre is forgettable, or better yet, unwatched.
Rob Schneider was a 90's concept that should have been left on the cutting room floor.
Rob Schneider obviously had 8x10 glossies of Lorne Michaels in a compromising position, otherwise he never would have gotten on SNL, let alone into any of those ridiculous movies.

he bought the shoes and shirt but wasn't accepted so he found out about the downside of street cred.
Diluted standards and lowest common denominators are the dirty open secret of the downside of street cred.

Johannesburg

biggest, baddest city in South Africa, where the diamond smugglers mingle with the carjackers to make life strange.
I had to get out of Johannesburg for the weekend so I flew to Cape Town for the ocean breezes.

Fox and Hounds

ancient sport esp. around Quorn.
Somewhat controversial among the wet set.
alt. a night of frolicking with ladies (foxes) and gentlemen (hounds)
We stopped in at Lady Chatterley's to ride in the Fox and Hounds.
Catherine invited me to dress up in my riding costume for an evening frolic of Fox and Hounds. She said she loved a man with a riding crop. Imagine her outfit!

Rob Zombie

greasy loser coasting on Howard Stern promos, aka, no-talent hack and all-round douchebag. Not to be confused with musician.
Will fuck your dead sister if he gets the chance.
Rob Zombie was eating road kill out on the Turnpike yesterday.
I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone puked after hearing Howard Stern jack off Rob Zombie on his show.
