...And Kal Penn Intercepts Ira Glass' Pass...

Admittedly, it is highly unlikely that this blog would hype anything associated with the village of Skokie. Strip malls just don’t speak to our readership (my dad). So, we are just as shocked as you are when we say the following: Turn off the Lions versus Falcons game on Thanksgiving afternoon and make the schlep to Skokie, IL. Why? The Indo Jew Bowl VI.



















The annual Indo Jew Bowl was started in 2000 by a group of Eastern Indian and Jewish friends in Skokie who “agreed to a competition of courage, endurance, strength and will that would soon prove to be the pinnacle of events in the Greatest Village in the World that is Skokie. The two most dominating Super-Powers met to determine the true leaders of the community the only way they knew how: in a field of play.” Whoa. The two teams sport some real sharp jerseys loosely representative of their heritage, which can be purchased online with proceeds going to aid the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. What’s wrong with a little divisiveness in the name of a good cause? In fact, the staff at CHIMOS has found its allegiance split between the two worthy squads: Grotte and Porges are committed to the Semites (What is that you say Nat? You bleed Jew Gold?) while noted indophile YoungRoyko and I and will be pulling for the Indos. After four straight defeats I just think that they want it more.
