My friend Jenn says I’m discriminatory for not recognizing her on Oy Velo just because she’s a total goy and not a cyclist. I recently took Jenn out for her first road ride and she sent me this text afterwards:
“you hurt my vag”
I’m pretty sure this is the sort of shout-out Jenn was looking for.
Gal Segal, creator of Segal Bikes, sent me a picture of his wife, Vardit, showing off her Oy Velo jersey and 900 gram Segal frame at the annual 64 kilometer ride around the Sea of Galilee
Because Oy velo reviewed How to Raise A Jewish Dog by Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman, Hatchett Books has mistaken Oy Velo for a real news organization and provided them with some complimentary copies of their newest book, How to Profit From the Coming Rapture: Getting Ahead When You’re Left Behind. Check back shortly for an Oy Velo review.
In the meantime, Oy Velo has five books to give away. The question is, do I have five people that check this blog? Email Oy Velo to receive your free copy of How to Profit From the Coming Rapture: Getting Ahead When You’re Left Behind. If there are six people that check this blog, the sixth person can go here to buy a copy.
Here’s the summary from Amazon Books:
Are the end times near? Is the Rapture really just around the corner? Could Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson possibly be right? About 1 billion people among us believe, yes, absolutely.
And that means one thing: investment opportunities!
For those who are not as expertly versed in the Book of Revelation, Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman, authors of the bestselling Yiddish with Dick and Jane, helpfully offer both illumination and advice: What exactly is the Rapture, anyway? How is it different from the Tribulation? Who are the Antichrist, the Four Horsemen, and the 144,000 male virgins, and what do they want? And, most important, how can I make money during the 7 years of societal breakdown before Armaggedon?
Taking the familiar form of a how-to investment guide, HOW TO PROFIT FROM THE COMING RAPTURE instructs those readers who will certainly be left behind (Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, less ardent Protestants, and many more) on how to exploit the inevitable demise of the world in order to make a tidy profit. Sure, the rivers and seas will run with blood, locusts will swarm, mountains will move all over the place, and famine will strike. But for the five billion of us left behind, the post-Rapture world will be a time of even more unique investment opportunities.

Thanks to Scott Barrett, the scroll down menu doesn’t suck.
Saul Raisin is Raisin Hope on October 4-5. There will be a 5K run/walk (boring), crit and silent auction with some good stuff up for grabs. If you go, tell Saul that Oy Velo is ready to interview him.
Fun Fact: Saul’s wife’s mom’s dog’s name is The Dude. I think The Dude and Lebowski need to meet up.

It’s Hey JewS, not Hey Jew, and only Ellis wrote it, his wife Barbara provided no contribution.
Ellis, if you take requests, can you create lyrics to “When I was 64.” It can be about a person and country 8 years ago.
