but I never said he was my favourite relative

I have discovered my new favorite curse:

.חתונה האָבן זאָל ער מיט די מלאך המוות טאָכטער

It's Yiddish. He should marry the daughter of the Angel of Death.

I need to do something with that.

Oh, that is *wonderful*. Erm. My Hebrew/Yiddish is fairly non-functional. Can you provide a transliteration?

Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Reminds me that in Terry Pratchett's Mort, Death's adoptive daughter is a main character.

I remember writing a poem which contained the phrase "daughter of the Angel of Death" -- it was a Holocaust themed thing I wrote in junior high that I blame on Devil's Arithmetic, and referred to a girl/woman of indeterminate age riding in one of the trains to a concentration camp.

I like that. You do need to do something with it.

Is it you whom I remember having described a dream about attending a wedding at which the Angel of Death was a fellow guest?

I see a half-hour sitcom in the vein of Friends ....
