Hey guys, just wanted to wish j'all (short for "Jew all") a happy Pesach. I just finished leading my seder (yeah, we started early, because, seriously, come on.)
For you non-Jews who want to join in, just drink four glasses of wine, eat a lot of crackers, and then open your door and yell at a ghost.
So, anybody have any exciting Passover plans this year, or Passover stories from the past? One year my family took a trip to the Grand Canyon during Passover, which was awesome for being Passover, but horrible for being a trip to the Grand Canyon. It was still one of the more exciting spring breaks that I had growing up.
We hit on the important stuff (the four questions, the four sons, the blessings, the plagues) but more important than reading the text is actually discussing the story. You can read the text blankly year after year, and get nothing out of it, or you can skip most of it, but actually talk about stuff, and walk out of there having learned something new.
My important point this year: the first seder was actually held in Egypt, the night BEFORE the slaves left.
That's like a white guy complaining about martin luther king day.
you're celebrating the death of my people/loss of cheap labor
Actually, in the middle of the telling of the story you stop to reflect on the tragic loss of life on the Egyptian side. You solemnly pour out a bit of wine for each of the ten plagues. This is only because forties weren't around back then.

this is awesome
it's all about slaves now
egypt is a progressive country
not in the old testament they weren't! shut your mouth, heathen!
ALIENS
and how everybody has to drink two cups of wine before the meal and two afterwards
hooray for jews
this makes them like twice as impressive to me now
This is even better:
I don't think there is any mention of Jewish slaves building the pyramids in the Old Testament

but the only way you'd know it is if he told you, he didn't do one bit of anything jewish.
no, I had beef franks! Hebrew National beef franks! They were kosher as hell, and so was the relish I put on top!
Actually, the torah doesn't say anything about pyramids.
It says that the Jewish slaves were building storage cities for the pharaoh.
Fuck yeah they are
I might just stop by Costco tomorrow now that you mention it
