Haines His Way

Ten reasons for celebrating Purim.

    

6.   You don't have to kasher your home and change all the pots and dishes.

I have never seen it spelled that way.  Is that a different tense of kosher?

But seriously, kashering your home is the act of making it kosher, normally used in ref. to Pasover..

AFter reading bk's notes, I have never been a fan of Demi's even when she was on GENERAL HOSPITAL back in the 80s.

Some more ancient kashruth humor:


A rabbi who's been leading a congregation for many years is upset by the fact that he's never been able to eat pork. So he devises a plan whereby he flies to a remote tropical island and checks into a hotel. He immediately gets himself a table at the finest restaurant and orders the most expensive pork dish on the menu. As he's eagerly waiting for it to be served, he hears his name called from across the restaurant. He looks up to see 10 of his loyal congregants approaching. His luck, they'd chosen the same time to visit the same remote location! Just at that moment, the waiter comes out with a huge silver tray carrying a whole roasted pig with an apple in its mouth. The rabbi looks up sheepishly at his congregants and says, "Wow - you order an apple in this place and look how it's served!"

Lots of posts...and I have learned more biblical stuff tonight then I ever did in Sunday school.

Now I must hie myself to the post office for the third time today and get a package in the mail for DR Elmore3003 so that he has something decent to list on his Friday TOD (Topic of the Day in internet speak)

Ben, Dakota and George - Thanks for the avatar comments.  

Now that it seems we know what we're doing with photos, a monster may have been created.  

FJL, dear, creativity must never be wasted.....

One of favorite creations I made for Matt Ashford and Missy Reeves fan...

DR JRand, I agree that casting a stage musical via TV auditions/game show is unconventional to say the least, but I'm not so sure it's ludicrous. The NBC series has been poorly produced, it's true, but they've had real talent on that stage, and for me, that's NEVER to be snickered at.

The initial foray into this unconventional method of casting - THE SOUND OF MUSIC reality show that led to its revival in London - worked like gangbusters over there. The show is a smash hit and a new star was born. I don't blame them for trying it over here, too, since the IDOL format has gone over so well there and here.

But GREASE is coming back too soon, I think, and I don't expect the show to run long. I think they were limited, however, by trying to find a very popular show that would connect with mainstream America as a TV vehicle first and then as a tourist show for Broadway. WEST SIDE STORY might have worked better since it hasn't been revived as recently as GREASE.

And, if nothing else, we've gotten to see a crop of talented guys and gals that I might never have gotten a chance to see. I hope some TV casting agents have been watching.

Glad I work at night and I have not seen it!

Esther Page is one of my favorite yiddish theater stars.

I liked LaWanda Page as Aunt Ester.

Der B, you give us the most interesting words! Couch drops! Hum...

You think I'd know better!
Particularly since my favorite spelling word is GHOTI

GHOTI - a small creature of the sea

GH as in Cough
O as in Favor
TI as in Nation

What a lovelier than lovely supper with the likes of Cason, Heather, Adriana, and someone named bk.  We laughed and laughed and just when we thought we could laugh no more, we laughed again.  Heather is a delightfully delightful gal, and Cason is a delightfully delightful guy, so they are a perfect match.

Father Murphy to Rabbi Cohen:  C'mon, Max, you mean you've never even tried ham?

Rabbi Cohen: No, I haven't! Have you ever tried pleasuring a women, Mike?

Father Murphy: Certainly not!

Rabbi Cohen: You should give it a try; much better than eating ham.
