Taurus

I'm secretly an undercover rabbi named Suman Nelman masquerading as a full-bred Swede brought up on Prairie Home Companion. I hate bananas, love chicken wings and enjoy many a beer from many a land. In an upcoming reality show "Pretty Ones vs. Funny Ones" it would be hard to decide which team I would be on, although I'm guessing it would be the latter.

Someone fun! I've had non-fun and it just doesn't work for me! If you're a singer, you can't be a bad one - if you're not a singer, you better think that I'm not a bad one either. Honesty is most definitely appreciated but please be gentle about it!
