Kosher Machine Only Serves 24/6 Because It's Shomer Shabbos

This is a kosher vending machine located at the E-Walk Theatre on 42nd Street, in Manhattan, NY. It sells hot tasty nosh, but only 24/6. Why? Because it's Shabbos, that's why.

In case you don't know what Shabbos is:

Shabbat or Shabbos is the weekly Sabbath or day of rest in Judaism, symbolizing the seventh day in Genesis, after the six days of creation.

And since this machine sells kosher food for shomer shabbos—people who observe the mitzvot and therefore respect the shabbos—it rests on the seventh day.

Which brings up the question: Was God really a very powerful vending machine serving hot grilled Reuben galaxies and primordial matzah ball life soup for $1.50 each? Probably, only Walter Sobchak knows:

Universal Pees On Our Rug With The Big Lebowski 10th Anniversary Edition

On Sept. 9, Universal will release an amazing 10th Anniversary Limited Edition of The Big Lebowski that's packed inside of a mini-bowling ball. A goddamn bowling ball. And it'll have all-new bonus features, which I hope/suspect is filled with John Goodman screaming various permutations of "fuck" a lot. For only $24. Why so cheap? Because it's only on DVD. WTF, Universal?

Where the hell is the Blu-ray edition? How can you ask us to buy it a fifth time—after VHS, two earlier DVDs and the beautiful-looking HD DVD—without a version on Blu-ray? Do we really have to hang onto our Xbox HD DVD module just so we can enjoy the Coen Brothers' masterpiece, with classic sequences like The Dude's post-roofie hallucination, dripping with oddball 70s sleaze, in high-def? Who are you, George Lucas? This will not stand. [Amazon via CrunchGear]
