This Saturday, March 15, 2014, The Dr. Susan Block Show, broadcasting live from Bonoboville at LAX, will celebrate the Irish/Jewish convergence of Purim AND St. Patrick’s Day in one lucky show! International sexologist Dr. Susan Block will deliver a condensed version of her annual Purimspiel on the Biblical Story of Esther, the ancient Persian Jewish beauty contest winner who saves her people from genocide with her Weapons of Mass Seduction, AND investigate the story of St. Patrick, a British prince kidnapped by Irish pirates who goes on to become the Catholic patron saint of Ireland.
Purim traditions of donning masks and cranking groggers and St. Patty’s traditions of wearing green and kissing-everyone-because-we’re-Irish will be observed. At the center of each holiday is a triangle. Purim celebrants eat hamentaschen which we also call “pussy cookies” on DrSuzy.Tv, since they are shaped like an open vulva, complete with a jam-filled hole in the middle (this seems more interesting than the more conventional explanation that their triangular form comes from the villain Haman’s hat). The shamrock of Saint Patty is also a triangle, its three-leaves purportedly representing the “Father, ... & Holy Ghost.” Besides triangular fetish objects, both holidays revolve around luck, lotteries, games of chance and the lusty, joyous, playful coming of Spring.
