Timorim
Timorim (Hebrew: תִּמּוֹרִים, pl. Hebrew artificial palm) is a village in central Israel organized as a moshav shitufi and functioning also as a communal settlement for its community of non-members. Located on the Israeli coastal plain around a kilometer south of the Malakhi Junction, near the town of Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 710. It is named after a carving in the shape of a palm in the temple: 1 Kings 6:29.
It was established in 1948 by a Gar'in of youth from South Africa, Romania and Egypt from the youth movement HaNoar Hatzioni as a kibbutz on Shimron Hill in the Lower Galilee, in the area now covered by the communal settlement of Timrat. In 1953 it reorganized as a moshav shitufi, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.
Timorim's income in 2005 derived mainly from industry (74%), with additional 15% from agriculture and 11% from outside work of Timorim members and other sources. Timorim has two industries: "Tomer Plastics" manufacturing plastic furniture for the institutional market (est. 1961-1975) and "Tomer 2000" manufacturing metal pipes (est. 1978). Agriculture includes cotton, citrus, olives, and walnuts. A dairy herd of 450 head is managed jointly with Kibbutz Hulda.

Dummy Room
by: Blue MeaniesFeeling curious, I started planning,
Just 'till I solve the local laws.
Pushing buttons, wearing dirty gym shoes,
Fingerprints line the hallway walls. (Walls.)
Witness guide is formulating arrangement.
I'm not the only dummy in this dummyroom.
I watch you lock the lock and loose your keys.
I'm not the only dummy in this dummyroom.
Your ignorance betrays our little arrangement.
I'm not the only dummy in this dummyroom.
And now you've got me locked up in your fucking little dummyroom.
I'm not the only dummy in this dummyroom.
A smiling fan prescribed the potion,
To keep me occupied while on parole.
Ten years later I saw the ceiling,
Reflecting back through my toilet bowl.

Duh, duh, duh, dummy room!
I'm not the only fucking dummy.
Duh, duh, duh, dummy room!
I'm not the only dummy in this dummyroom.
Duh, duh, duh, dummy room!
I'm not the only little dummy.
Duh, duh, duh, dummy room!
Wow!
