In case you're wondering, folks, mishigas is an alternate spelling of the Yiddish word "mishuga," meaning crazy, silly, a bit daft, round the bend....etc....
In honor of Labor Day, the theme for this weekend's music thread is about working, whether it's working at a job, working at a...
Yesterday was the yearly celebration of love. Love between couples, and yet there is love in many forms. It's great that we set aside a special day honoring love, every year, but love should be honored every day of our lives and we as people should make that a point in our lives. We need to love the world itself, for in love, there is salvation. Only universal love will save our world.

My presence is a present; kiss my ass!
