Will gets Jewy

Good Thursday, Stroock's Books reader(s). After the Mets defeated the Phillies on Francisco Lindor's grand slam, Mrs. Stroock isn't pleased. She's not pleased at all. No, Lindor is not the NL MVP. The Dodger's Soheil Ohtani is the NL MVP. It's not even close, guys. Still... Meet the Mets. Meet the Mets...Note, we are not a Mets fan, we are merely noting that they won and happy for them. Recall, a few days ago we were writing beat the Mets, beat the Mets...Here's Mets broadcaster and superfan Howie Rose with another classic call. 

Related, it seems Hurricane Milton ripped off the roof of the Tampa Bay Rays' moribund and dank Tropicana Field. If the hurricane leads to the demise of the Trop, it did the Rays and baseball a favor.  Both the Rays and Marlins have weird histories and apathetic fanbases. Putting teams in Florida was a huge mistake by MLB.

The leader of this blog's Confederate Contingent asks why every female soldier in Israel looks like a supermodel. Good question. For those who don't know, here's a link to a female IDF soldier tribute page. This link is provided strictly for informational purposes. This link is also provided for informational purposes. As is this one. And of course we should take a moment to recall that Gal Gadot is an IDF veteran. For editorial balance, here's an article about the 'Lionesses of Syria.'

As to why the IDF is renowned for its beautiful female soldiers, recall that Israel is a Mediterranean country. It is also a young country. Which means there's a surplus of dusky hued young women fulfilling their military service. Heck, when we held a pro-Israeli rally at RVCC a decade ago, our flyers featured young Israeli female soldiers. We made our point. Two days before our rally those bastards tried to shut it down. We went right to the dean. The rally proceeded unabated.  

Huh, we've posted here and at Substack about To Defend the Earth and sure enough, we've moved a few copies. Look at us. Now we'll post about To Survive the Earth...no reason. Hmmm...sometimes we wonder if it's time to have some new book covers made. TDFT is almost 15 years old. Naaaa. But we do have ideas. We do indeed have ideas.

Meanwhile, our drive to complete an 8,000 word short story by Sunday continues. We're at 6,000 words. You'll never read a more Jewy story about a Gato class submarine rescuing downed flyers in an alternate 1946 in which Japan didn't surrender. Hey, ask us for a story during the High Holy Days, get a Jewy story.
