I posted a note on Facebook earlier this week titled "Weird Things I'll Miss About Israel." I included only one item of my own: "That Galgalatz's 'traffic report' music is the theme to 'Six Feet Under.'" Then I added: "Yours here."
My friends complied (thank you!), and I share the results with you below. Read them, and then you, dear blog readers, are invited to submit your own in the comments section. Please feel free to share, RT, whatever.

- Getting a choice in handles to use for the toilet.
- Tonight in the mega supermarket, sale: "turkey throat with fresh bones."
