(My brain works extremely quickly. I just usually type really, really smart stuff, so even my quick brain takes time to perfect the words of wisdom that I impart. Oh, and did I mention my superior humility?)

And did I ever tell you that I'm also humble.
Because of my modesty it's hard for me to say this,
but what can I do about it if I am the greatest!

I'm also surprised to learn that a YitzyS post is categorized as a "current event"  ;D
Well, you know, if you are really the greatest, it shouldn't be such a shocker :P

That's just the humble part talking.

I want to go to Eretz Yisroel!

Inspired by this thread: Israel (Not) Reopening To Foreigners
By the way, that tape, Where's Zaidy, is based off this story(starting from the 2nd page), although it has been so altered that it's barely recognizable.

מען זעט ניט דעם הדרת פנים

Right. This is always a problem when you're doing multi-lingual homophones / puns - which spelling do you use? I figure it's better if you use the same wording as what you are quoting, and those who get the reference will get it, those who don't wouldn't get it either way.
