I'm pretty sure Mohel is the preferred.

It's a pronunciation thing (VERY common in NY). "Mohel" is indeed the correct transliteration of the Hebrew term.

and if we are going to get all technical, my page is internally inconsistent because in Judaism, I believe (I'm not Jewish), it is actually the father who SHOULD perform the circumcision, the Mohel is just an acceptable stand-in. God notwithstanding, I stand by my advice.

They're evil... actually pugs sometimes do that wheezing sound that always reminded me of vader, and here's a costume that matches it!!!

In this day and age, a "Mohel" (Circumcisor) is used since they are the ones who know how to do it. Trust me, your son will appreciate it! As far as the father thing, well, I never heard of that, but I figure it would be derived from the fact that Abraham performed the ritual on his son (Isaac). Mind you, he first did it to himself. OUCH!

A gentleman I once worked with converted to conservative Judaism as an adult, with three sons (aged 7 - 12 at the time). All had to undergo the process. He performed the ritual on his sons. I expect to see the entire family on either Dr. Phil or Court TV any day now. I cannot imagine the family discussions -- "Dad, we're going to become what? And you're going to do what to my WHAT???"

(To put it in perspective, these children had started off Catholic, became Baptist, and did the Judaism thing all in the space of several years. Not sure how many of those conversions were done with the knowledge or approval of the adoptive religions...

Did you hear about the Mohel who performed circumcisions for free?
He only took tips.

I hope these Duggars don't become another Brave Woman.

speaking of BW, I'm new here, what in blazes is that about? Where did she come from.

I'm also curious about the origin of the 5,000 year-old eqyptian pot frequently used in the DB trophy. At least I remember seeing that one in the media somewhere.

Someone else was asking about voting......

seems to me DB needs it's own faq -- good thing I'm too new to get stuck with it.

Did you hear about the Mohel who was having a half-off sale?

What did the Mohel say just before starting the ceremony? It won't be long now!

There is a Bravewoman FAQ hidden way down on some far away World Of Woot (WoW) thread page. It contains every picture known to exist at the time the thread was created. There are similar threads for other Woot Myths, like the legendary Toon, and The Hoff.

Way, way back, in the olden days, she was used once as part of the item graphic for a Woot, the Ab-Tilt exerciser I believe. She came from a random picture found on the Interwebs of a woman testing a chair for sale at a garage sale, or so the legend goes. Those parchments are long ago lost.

The DB trophy -- that is the creation of another Woot Myth, Wonderstew, whose name is Indian for "He Who Causes All Items To Reflect". Only he knows the true meaning behind the ancient artifact he used. Some say he roams these halls still... Oooooo ...

Voting rules are made up by the current host. Historically, anyone with an account has been permitted and encouraged to vote. Whether the host welcomes single integer votes for the voter's top choice, a first/second/third, some combination or none of the above has been their prerogative.

The Duggars are much too Quaker to become an icon here. That's why Tom & Katie and the Osmonds evaporated. Brittney was in danger of being voted off, but in an eleventh hour rally, she and her hairless parts have regained a perch.

Sometimes it's best to go back to the basics....

My boss got in trouble with his wife once when she came home and found a dozen of the baby's "onesies" hanging on the wall like animal pelts

Somewhere there was a thread about bad professional photochops. The original spacesuit costume picture left just the bottom of their lightstand in the pic.

That source pic gets used a lot No Santa on the couch to catch the kid?

(I'm guessing plastic furniture covers might not be a bad idea in the event of diaper leakage ... Eeewww...

I can't chop well enough to illustrate this, but I think that Jeff Foxworthy gave the best advice. He said we should pay close attention to the diaper packaging and keep within the guidelines. For example, when the package says a diaper is for 8 to 12 pounds, that really is all you can expect it to hold.

Mark Twain also had some great advice worth following, and perhaps worth chopping:

The best way to survive parenthood is: When a child reaches adolescence, you should put them in a barrel and feed them through the knot hole. When they become a teenager, you should plug the knot hole.

Those of you with adolescents and/or teenagers understand the value (and humor) of this. Those with little kids... put this on your refrigerator for future reference...
