So just who are Da Boys? Everyone wants to know! Here is our first stab at answering some of the more frequently asked questions. Wherever it says "A", that's the general consensus Answer from Da Boys. When there's no consensus, we'll weigh in separately. Feel free to ask additional questions, which we may decide to answer if we feel like it.
Q: What does 905 stand for?
LT: Truth, Justice, and the American way. Oh... you mean the number "905" itself? Our apartment number.
DK :-) : The 905 ways there are to be lazy.
DaGirl: My personal annex.
JT: 905 is gematria (with a dash of creative spelling) for "West Side Shtus". We hope to achieve more than that, but we should at least provide a fun diversion for ourselves and our readers.
Q: Where do you live?
A: The Upper West Side, and that's as specific as we're gonna get (unless, perhaps, we're having you over for a meal or something - in which case you'll probably need to know a little more).
Q: Are JT and LT brothers?
A: No.
Q: Where did the three of you meet?
A: We all went to college together.
Q: Does Da Girl live in apartment 905?
A: Good question. Well... we do know she doesn't pay rent...
DaGirl: Decidedly not! They just love having me around.
A: Or at least that's what she tells herself.
Q: What kind of Jews are Da Boys?
LT: The kind that disdains labels.
DK :-) : Orange Jews.
JT: Actually, I like labels. Otherwise how will you know if something is caffeine free, or the size of the bagged underwear you are buying.
Q: What's your favorite Jewish Holiday?
DK :-) : Shabbat
JT: Tu B'Shvat
LT: Sukkot
DaGirl: Passover
Q: Who does the cooking?
A: All of us.
DaGirl: I'm in charge of the veggies
Q: Who does the cleaning.
A: None of us. Just kidding! It varies... sometimes based on who loses in a game of rock-paper-scissors or backgammon.
DaGirl: According to the 905 wipe-off board, JT does the bathroom, LT does the dishes, DaGirl like to clean the stove (she's mental) and DK only cleans with paper towels.
Q: Is it true that Daboys are really just one person with multiple personality syndrome:
LT: No
JT: Yes
DK :-) : Maybe
DaGirl: A female one as well, perhaps?
Q: Where are Da Boys from?
A: All three of us grew up in the greater New York metropolitan area.
Q: Do Da Boys get along with each other?
A: We consider ourselves ridiculously fortunate - it's rare for people to share an apartment with others who aren't just decent roommates, but also great friends.
DaGirl: But then DaGirl gets thrown in the mix and it all goes sour.

Ah, the days of being footloose and fancy free. I remember them well.
More questions- Do you smoke pot? Hope you don't find it an offensive question- not intended that way. And what do you do during the DAY?
You guys are cracking me up. Best new blog in my opinion I've seen in a while.
it's great that you get along so well. that comes across in your blog :)
:)
they get along as long as you don't bring up paper towels, who's the most feminine, who should cut vegetables for the salad, how to flatten chicken breasts for a recipe or during any game that is played in the apartment. in truth, they get along really well with each other and some of their more frequent guests ;)
I'm with Chaim :)
Jack: We say the same thing about our college days...
Rebeccabeth: Pot is too light for us, we smoke dopeheads.
JT: Works for The Man (Attorney)
LT: Day is an artificial concept based on the spinning of the globe... For example it may be day here now, but somewhere else it is night.
DK:-): I don't do anything.
Dagirl: Check facebook, read blogs, write email, watch YouTube videos...just like the rest of DaBoys.
Chaim, Sarah and Ezzie: Thanks!
SH: Always great to have you around.
lol :)
