Why is this avatar contest different from all other avatar contests? Because Passover, the Jewish holiday commemorating the Exodus story, is fast approaching, so I thought it would be fitting to have an avatar contest related to the Exodus story. There is only one rule: No avatars are allowed in this contest that contain levened products, for they are traditionally forbidden on Passover.  |

Perspective on Red Sea parting
When I was in high school, I participated in the State Choral Festival, which is comprised of select members from each high school choir in the state. That year it was accompanied by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. My biggest memory of this event was the performance of the Theme from Exodus. It was a truly moving experience. How I wish I had bought the album that year. :) |

It was during the period of Exodus and wilderness wandering that the Law was given to Moses. Among its stipulations was the following:
quote:
Leviticus 11.29 (King James Version)
These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind...
In other words... never eat a tortoise! |

A DAY IN THE EXODUS
Parody of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life"
Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion
I led the Jews today, oh boy
Up to this mount - I think it's "Cyanide"
And oh the Jews were rather bad
But I just raised my staff
And smashed their golden calf
It blew my mind, that hand of God
I never knew he wore a pinkie ring
The crowd was read his new Top Ten
They sure complained a lot
Nobody was really sure if they'd obey one Thou Shalt Not
I saw a plague today, oh boy
The Egypt army, smacked with bugs and frogs
The cows and people puked all day
But I just held my nose
Said: Yo Pha-ra-oh
Dude let my
Peo...
ple...
Go...
[An awesome sonic crescendo orchestrates the even awesomer parting of the Red Sea.]
[Then an alarm clock jars Moses into this flashback:]
Got born
Got near erased
Rode the Nile - a basket case
Found by Pharaoh's daughter, what a shock
I learned to walk
Like an Egyp-ti-an
I was Prince, but whacked a creep
Jumped my bail, moved in with sheep
Stayed for forty years there, holy smoke
A burning bush spoke
And I thought I'd gone insane:
"Sla-a-a-aves...
Free the SLA-a-a-aves..."
(etc.)
MEANWHILE, BACK AT CAMP...
I led the Jews today - oy vey -
Right through a hole; the Red Sea disappeared
The armies came and it refilled
We'll test their swimming skill
Best of all, the lot was caught on tape by Cecil B. DeMille
I'd love to
Reach...
Zi...
on...
[The parting of the Red Sea is such a crowd pleaser that the scene is repeated here. (No, it's not parted twice in the Bible, but this is Hollywood.) At the peak of the sea-parting crescendo, the water walls fall in on the Egyptian army to the sound of a final, sustained chord.]
[And there is much rejoicing.]
Oy Vey!
p.s. I have never intentionally plagiarised a review from an outside source (or inside fwfr, for that matter), but the caption under my avatar entry this week was so apropos that I couldn't resist submitting it for "The Ten Commandments."

Hey, I like chocolate dipped matzah.
On second thought, I wouldn't say I like chocolate dipped matzah as much as I tolerate it on Passover as much as I tolerare any other dish in which the main ingredient is matzah. |

| After Catholics attend church services, it could be said that they participate in a Catholic Mass exodus. |

| I think someone has used too much blood on their door. Some people take Passover too literal. |
