Likelihood of Confusion's Chanukah Blawg Review Mashup

By Victoria Pynchon

LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION® hosts Blawg Review # 191 celebrating the Festival of Lights and wishing all of us   ?? ???? ??? or    Happy Chanukah! 

We here in the Goldberg-Pynchon household celebrate both Chanukah and Christmas, as you can see from the really really bad iPhone photo of last night's menorah blazing before the tree in the background. 

The Menorah represents Torah She'baal Peh or the "Oral Law" which is a companion of the Written Torah; the part that man can derive, embellish, and - in a sense - 'create' by using his own diligence and intelligence in accord with the God-given hermeneutical principles.  In other words, the Torah She'baal Peh is the original mash-up and hence a fitting symbol for Ron Coleman's brilliant (pun intended) Blawg Review #191.

Eight days, we learn from Ron's post, is the Hebrew equivalent of This is Spinal Tap's 11 on the dial. 

Nigel Tufnel: t's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

But I digress.

Listen, I have nothing to add.  Which is why I'm fooling around here.  You just have to go to Ron's Blawg Review to get the full magnificence of the effort.  I've done one of these Blawg reviews myself and collapsed from exhaustion.  Ron put the whole thing off until the Sunday it was due (if he's not lying to me) which means . . . . well . . . .  he's AWESOME.  And, god bless him, if you ever feel geeky, you know there's a least one legal blogger geekier than thou.

(8's being so . . . well, holy or something . . . we do note that if you let the "1" in the hundreds place stand for the "servant" candle and subtract the remaining "1" from the 9 in the 10's column, you get Blawg Review #8 which was hosted by Crime and Federalism back in 2005.  But that's not all.  This is my 1,007th post -- really -- EIGHT!!  All of which simply re-proves this:  you can make something of nothing and nothing of something, particularly if you ever attended law school).

And for our Jewish readers' viewing and listening pleasure, Adam Sandler singing his infamous Chanukah song.

 Blawg Review has information about next week’s host, and instructions how to get your blawg posts reviewed in upcoming issues.
