    “if you would like to see your image before it goes into production, proofs are available by purchasing a “proof, please!” listing from our shop for $5″

    Why would I buy a “proof”, which I am guessing is a photo of the tray, for 5 bucks? Am I missing something here?

      I’m guessing it’s a copy of whatever image you’re paying to have laminated onto the tray, so you can check for typos, embarrassing details that aren’t clear in a smaller image, etc.

      It’s for items like this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/85859229/bubbes-little-dreidels-family-tray
      Seriously detailed custom stuff. I’d need a proof.

          jews can be blonde… my kid is so blonde people are always asking me where he gets it, as both me and my husband turned darker over the years… he has non-jewish dutch and swedish ancestry though…

    “Bring a smile to your holiday table this year.”
    Except mine would be filled with latkes so you couldn’t really see the message anyway. Plus, I line my platter with paper towels for the latkes. Do some people just have an empty dish “for looks” set out? Seems pricey and not particularly catchy phrasing.

      I dunno. Based on the dreidel and gelt, I assumed you were supposed to use it as a gaming surface. But that’s probably just me.

      And yeah, the “keep calm” thing is beyond played out.

    Golemette: Oh come on chief. We’ve got a latke bar downstairs.
    Chief Wiggum: Latkes? What the hell are those?
    Golemette: They’re pan-fried–
    Chief Wiggum: Case dismissed!

      You might not have meant to open the “circumcision vs. not” can of whup ass but obviously 15 or more people aren’t taking that chance. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED! (and don’t mention breast milk)

    Problem: I can’t keep calm while eating latkes. They are so good that you have to keep gobbling them until the last one appears and then you have to body check everyone else in the room to grab it before they do.

    Nice plate though.

        I don’t understand why all the thumbing down on your comment. Oh well. You were just extolling the virtues of a Mexi-Jew family. When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn. Sexy, smart.

          I think the issue is playing the “reverse racism” card. It’s offensive, and almost certainly bullshit.

          I’d wager the truth of the matter is that if this post were a cute spin on a Mexican culinary tradition, and Zippy had said “I wish I had a Mexican family to feed me excessively!” s/he’d get a moderate number of up-votes instead of down-votes. It’s only chuckle-worthy, really, so you can’t expect much.

          The Jewish-Mexican joke, within the context of the rest of the comment, is not likely to be taken in a positive light. In another context it would probably work just fine.

    Here in Appalachia, we have very few Jews. Most of my family think Latkes is an Andy Kaufman character.

    It is rare when my second post is the same as the first, but it seems relevant. I was inspired in a previous thread to make this:

    I would like to promise never to post it again, but who knows what the future will hold?
