Why is this blog different from all other blogs?

Yeah, this post? Let's just say that if you didn't think my whole "Taco Seder" thing last year was funny, you might want to go check out something else. 'Cause we're all about the blasphemy here at PoBaL, especially during the Easter/Passover season. Now, on to our story...

I turned on the tv, saw this, and was intrigued. Turns out, it's the story of Passover. Or, as the Christians call it, Exodus. I also find the term "Israelite" interesting. Like no one's going to know you're talking about the Jews or something.
Look, it's a plague! And another plague! And, uh, raising dust that will turn into a plague!


Man, when God smotes you, he does a thorough job.
Oh, check out Jewy McHeeb-bergstein. He's our narrator and host.
I'm not sure, but I think those dark, Semitic circles under his eyes might be painted on.
For the record, there were a few Jewish cowboys, ladies and gentlemen. Big guys who were great shots and spent money freely.
More plaguing it up (this is my favorite of the plague pictures):

Every time Moses talks to Pharoah, he's in the bath. What is this, Old Testament slash?

And check out Moses' expression in this one:

That's not, "Let my people go!" That's, "Hey buddy, you know--heh heh--we were both drunk, things happened..."
If you're interested there's more on my flickr. I'm putting them in a slideshow so everyone can enjoy the magic of this seasonal and poorly animated show my TV can barely get a signal for.
Melissa, feel free to use this post in your godmotherly duties to Rose.

Um, as your friendly neighborhood grammarian, I'd like to point out that God smites in the present, and he smote in the past, but I'm pretty sure you made up "God smotes," or something. But then, I make shit up all the time, so I'm hardly one to speak (um, ANM, anyone?).

I'd like to point out that the "friendly" neighborhood grammarian is apparently okay with "plaguing it up", but not smotes. Which I like better.
Plus, dude--all the typos in Claudia's Room? For real, yo. For real.

Just found your blog. I used to work in a public library on the front lines and now I am behind the scenes in a junior college library. Can you guess which one is better?

Typos have stopped, bitch! I proof like nobody's business these days. Well, mostly. Plus, I prefer plaguing it up. It's clearly made up!

I'm glad Tiff said something because I questioned smote. No matter what tense I love the word and the plague of boils looks like a shampoo commercial...no?!
