As you may remember, I love free stuff.
So when I wrote about my yarmulke experiment last week and mentioned my regret at not having an Obamica or McCippah, I received an e-mail from none other than the guy who designed the politically themed Jewish “beanie hats”.
The MOT’s name is Shmuly Tennenhaus, a self-described “former YouTube celebrity” who gained online notoriety for his Ask a Jew series of videos.
Shmuly sells Obamicas and other political yarmulkes on his Web site, VanityKippah.com, including Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama kippahs.
He offered to send me an Obamica and I agreed to let him. Because I’m a mensch.
This isn’t the first time I’ve received free stuff thanks to this blog. I like to call it swag because it makes me feel like a blogebrity.
I have received a fanny pack from Collateral Damage, the book Bang from Roosh (right, like I need help with the ladies), and a kangaroo scrotum all the way from Australia from Talking Budgie.
Oh yeah, I’ve also made friendships and met new people and blah blah blah. Whatever.
If you, too, want to send me cool shit, I’m man enough to let you.

*WOW*
that is great, rock on, my jew-mo-bro…
PSA: The “mo” in Nickels’ comment there refers to our Movember team, NOT to his merry band of homos. Just felt the need to clarify.
oh my god. ronald regan is rolling over in his grave.
but on a positive note - that’s friggin hilariously awesome.
I thought about correcting the misspelling but then your next comment would make people think you’re retarded.
crap i spelled reagan wrong.
How about a fart sealed in tupperware?
To add to my collection?
Sorry, I’m loopy, it’s Friday, fuck it.
Shmuly!? God, how perfect.
Think I went to college with him…
lemmonex’s last blog post..O.R. You?
Seriously? There are photos of him on his blog, check it out.
of course you should take free stuff for your blog! you give out free stuff too. who doesn’t want an autographed Arjewtino baseball card?
Not to mention all the Spooks DVDs you’ve burned and given me, but that wasn’t a blogger gift so much as a friend gift. Awww…
What’s Obama’s stance on israel?

Who cares! Look at my kippah!
That’s actually ridiculously awesome. Consider me jealous, man.
And the road goes both ways - Nashvegas could do with a few care packages…
Sisco’s last blog post..“Man, I am IN the bell jar.”
You mean I should give back as much as I receive? I never thought of that.
that is freakin awesome.I’m all about getting swag too.
It just prepares me for the day that the media realizes how amazing I am and gives me my own TV show (or maybe a whole channel).
Maxie’s last blog post..All Caught Up
Awesome pic. I should use this for my homepage!
Awesome! There is nothing more that needs to be written.
Sean’s last blog post..Referrals and More Referrals
Well, one more thing that needs to be written. I wonder how many of these will be seen at synagogues throughout the country for Rosh Hashanah next week.

That! is! awesome!
Diane Mandy’s last blog post..Injecting a little testosterone
Thanks, these events are always more fun than I realize.
FYI… you may want to stick to calling it ‘free’ rather than ’swag.’ You have to pay taxes on swag… well, at least famous people do - but you’re getting there!
How do you know this stuff? Oh yeah, US Weekly.
uhm that is the most awesome thing i have seen in ages. it might just beat my fanny pack (i hope you’re taking good care of it!)
