Hi, Iโ€™ve been off tumblr for a couple of years, but I seem to remember you or someone else posting about a blessing for pet snakes and/or lizards? My cantor has been trying to find one, since in our online services theyโ€™ve been doing blessings for cats and dogs (May you be like the Lion of Judah/Caleb the Faithful). Figured as much as you love scaly critters, you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Hi, @zookmurnig! I looked through every post in both my โ€œlizardโ€ and โ€œlizardsโ€ tags, and couldnโ€™t find this. When I checked Google I found this, which can probably apply but isnโ€™t satisfyingly targeted.

Whatโ€™s the protocol for making up your own bracha? The werewolf bracha in Cinnamon Blade was the invention of someone who had been a student leader when I used to go to Hillel. But nobody is actually using that one in real life (as far as I know) so maybe thatโ€™s different :P

Thank you for looking for me. I tried those same tags, as well as a few others, but couldnโ€™t turn up anything. I found that same article when I googled it, which as you said, interesting but not quite on target.

Iโ€™ll look into the criteria for inventing a new blessing. Again, thank you so much!

Calling a glans piercing a โ€œPrince Albertโ€ is only the tip of the iceberg (so to speak). Pretty soon all the historical nobility will be getting in on the act. Folks will be going around getting Emperor Leopolds and Kaiser Wilhelm IIs, and I have no idea what any of those are, but Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™re terrifying.

I imagine a Marie Antoinette takes the cake

If you get an Ada Lovelace youโ€™ve got to be prepared to punch a lot of holes.

so the thing about my family is that we have two ancestors on my dadโ€™s side who were buried in france, where I currently live. one died in the spanish civil war, and one died prior doingโ€ฆwe donโ€™t know what. but he somehow managed to get buried in pรจre lachaise. 

so anyhow, my gran sends me a message like โ€œpls put flowers on ur uncle samuelโ€™s grave because heโ€™s gone over a century with none and it will make the ghost mad if he hasnโ€™t alreadyโ€ because my family spends time in europe but never long enough to go all the way to pรจre lachaise and give ya boy samuel jr. his death rites. so im like โ€œok gran I can do thatโ€ bc im a good grandson and you do not fuck with gran she doesnโ€™t DESERVE THAT 

i figure out which plot heโ€™s on and ask someone specifically where you can find uncle samuel jr. and they tell me where and so I arrive at the junction and. 

HE GONE. 

WHERE DID YOU GO UNCLE SAMUEL. 

*celine dionโ€™s smash hit โ€œmy heart will go onโ€ playing in the distance* 

in other words either someone stole my entire great great uncle samuel or he has risen again, ready to party in paris for all of eternity.

Youโ€™re pretty chill about a corpse disappearing.

My guy, my dude, heโ€™s been dead since 1851. He could be anywhere. He does what he wants.

Sheโ€™s not wrong

They know what they have

I remember selling those things for $2.50, what the hell???

Inflation Iโ€™m assuming, you were probably selling them well over a decade ago

They quadrupled in price in less than 15 years, tho.

I remember them being almost $4/box when I was a girl scout almost 20 years ago?

My daughter sells them now, theyโ€™re still $4 a box
