Brit Jew marries dolphin
Unusual wedding: British woman marries her beloved dolphin in Eilat ceremony
Joe Kot

Till death do us part? An unusual wedding ceremony was held in the southern resort town of Eilat on Wednesday, as Sharon Tendler, a 41-years-old Jewish millionaire from London married her beloved Cindy, a 35-years-old dolphin, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday.

The groom, a resident of the Eilat dolphin reef, met Tendler 15 years ago, when she first visited the resort. The British rock concert producer took a liking to the dolphin and has made a habit of traveling to Eilat two or three times a year and spending time with her underwater sweetheart.

"The peace and tranquility underwater, and his love, would calm me down," the excited bride said after the wedding.

After a years-long romance, Tendler decided to embark on the highly unusual path of tying the knot with her beloved dolphin. Last week, she approached Cindy's trainer Maya Zilber with the extraordinary request.

Zilber accepted the challenge and "talked the idea over with the fellow," who apparently consented.

'I'm not a pervert'

And so on Wednesday afternoon, the thrilled bride, wearing a white dress, walked down the dock before hundreds of astounded visitors and kneeled down before her groom, who was waiting in the water.

Cindy, escorted by his fellow best-men dolphins, swam over to Tendler and she hugged him, whispered sweet nothings in his ear, and kissed him in front of the cheering crowd.

After the ceremony was sealed with some mackerels, Tendler was tossed into the water by her friends so that she could swim with her new husband.

"I'm the happiest girl on earth," the bride said as she chocked back tears of emotion. "I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert," she stressed.

Tendler said she and her newly wed husband will probably spend their wedding night bowling.

"But what kind of children would they have?" one of the children in the crowd asked his father.

The resurrection syndrome

Following up on Jameel's post lamenting the decline of the j-blogsphere, DovBear comments that there's nothing to worry about. I for one don't feel qualified to pass judgment either way as I'm more of a silent reader than a prolific writer/commenter. I just do this gig to feel like I'm part of the clique.

One thing I have noticed is what seems to be a "resurrection syndrome". As they started to get more popular and become more of a blogsphere cornerstone, a few bloggers decided to call it quits. Either they just disappeared, leaving their readers to wonder if they were kidnapped by the kanoim, or they just explained they weren't up to it anymore and said farewell.

Suddenly they're back from the dead.

• The GoldolHador said farewell and promised he's not coming back. Sure enough, a short while later, he's baaaack.

• MoChassid, one of the first blogs I started reading, also retired- claiming a loss of desire and new job pressures. Once again, the temptation proved to be too strong and as of late he's added to his biking tale's those of his latest OHEL 'acquisition'. Keep writing Mo!

• Then (and I may be a bit behind the times on this one) I recently notice a blog that I think was really my first blog experience, arise from the dead too. Hasidic Rebel was one of the first of his kind and spawned many an imitator, before he suddenly vanished leaving us scratching our heads and with a lame Yahoo group instead.

So DB and Jameel, now that the big fish are back maybe things can still be interesting...

Time will tell. In the meantime, I'll still be reading (and maybe posting a little too)

Tehillim for Shifra's Brother

The brother of our blogfriend, Shifra, went into open-heart surgery yesterday. After some scary moments, Shifra tells us that, while he still has a long way to go, things are beginning to look a little better b'h.

Please have Rephael Chaim Ozer Yisroel ben Basya Yocha in your tefillos for a complete refua shelaima.

StillWonderin lists Tehillim kapitlech: 6,13,20,22,23,30,32,38,41,51,86,88,91,102,103,121,130,142,143 as the ultimate refuah sh'leimah tefilot. Please say a few.

In the merit of our prayers, may Rephael Chaim Ozer Yisroel ben Basya Yocha be granted a full recovery.

Trivia

Quick trivia question I just realized:

What's the similarity between Thursday night at the local kosher supermarket and Saturday night at Blockbuster?

Am I not Meme-worthy?

Man I HATE it when I write something and it doesn't post. Here goes again...

The other day Orthomom started this j-blogsphere i-Pod meme. Basically the way this works is you,

1. Turn on your mp3 player.
2. Hit shuffle.
3. Put the first fifteen songs that come up in a post. No matter how embarassing. No cheating!

...and then you 'tag' few other bloggers to keep it going.

And so, I waited to be tagged by someone. and waited... Perhaps I should start commenting out there a little more. So I can take the hint and I'll just do it myself then.

Here's what I got:

1. My Name Is Mud-Primus
2. For Your Life-Led Zeppelin
3. The Noose-A Perfect Circle
4. Stinkfist-Tool
5. Fly Me To The Moon-Frank Sinatra
6. The Sky Is Crying-Stevie Ray Vaughn
7. Buffalo Soldier-Bob Marley
8. Habanera-Andre Rieu
9. Ranenu-Shwekey
10. Shuvi Nafshi-Shlomo & Eitan Katz
11. For Yohoshua ben Nun & Calev-Chaim David
12. Bleeding Me-Metallica S&M
13. High Time-Grateful Dead
14. The Trees-Rush
15. L’man Achai-Moshav Band

(I'll admit that I was tempted to cheat when Shwekey came up.)

While a lot of bloggers hate being 'tagged', there's a few I'd like to see get this:

• MOChassid (maybe this will get a post out of him. I know you have an i-Pod, MO)
• Wolf
• Yeshiva Orthodoxy (if he's ignoring the internet ban, he's probably ignoring the one on i-Pods too)
• Mississippi Fred

...and don't forget, if you break the chain you'll have 7 years of bad luck. You can blame Orthomom for this one.

Update: Since I'm not sure if any of these tagged bloggers visit this site, feel free to let them know.

Eruv post...it's ALIIIIIIIIVE!

Since no one seems to be reading this blog anymore, I feel like I should point out one of my past posts that is still getting comments on a regular basis.

Ok, it's probably just one guy with an agenda, but who cares? Comments are comments.
