I'm posting this meme because it reminded me of something.

Browsing in Brochin's last Passover I saw a book intended to acquaint Children with the Seder. It was by Shari Lewis and was called "Lamb Chop's Passover Surprise."

This amazed me and amused me. Just what IS Lamb Chop's passover surprise anyway? Guess whose blood is going on the doorpost? Guess whose foreleg is going to adorn the Seder Plate. I really should read this book and see if Lamb Chop survives.

That's... HORRIBLE.

I think you just inspired me to do a cartoon with Lambchop as the Passover lamb.
Also, check me out!

What, a disease with no symptoms?

You guys both got off easy:

I remember Lamb Chop, just.

Browser trouble: Firefox is giving me the disease captions as white text on white background.

Hope you don't mind - I found this while looking for a link to the video while describing it in my own LJ, and linked to it from there. You may see my silly friends showing up.

From my post (otherwise flocked):
Incidentally, it's a cute video, and badly needs to have the DVD redone *after* the masters have had some serious cleanup and enhancement. I like the way the story was told. Unfortunately, neither the nearly-nine-year-old, the four-and-a-half-year-old, the two three-year-olds, or the two-year-olds were interested in the slightest. We did get two of them to watch Shari Lewis' Passover video (with Robert Guillaume and Dom DeLuise being oh-so-themselves) but then, watching that video while last-minute Seder preparations are going on has become a family tradition. :)

(Mind you, given the Seder plate symbolism and the way the Jews escaped the slaying of the first born, I have to agree that "Lamb Chop's Passover Surprise" is an unfortunate title (link found while looking for a link to the video). Besides, Charley Horse did all the setup... then again, there could be a little sibling rivalry going on.)
