[HANASHIR:7548] Re: Hanukkah Parody

[Callie <anomocal...>]

I'm sorry, is it just me or does the first line not make sense?  I don't 
get it: latkes and dreamless.
Also, wasn't there also a Passover favorite things parody posted in the 
spring?  I'm sure I have it somewhere.  We could start a series!  It 
could be called Celebrate My Favorite Things.  Anybody have one for Purim?
