How does it know?

[Elsie]

The Dixie Chicks lost the entertainer of the year award to none other than Toby Keith, which pleased the Vegas fans. In fact they failed to win any awards.

Hee, hee, hee..........        Haman comes to mind........

 

Esther 5:12-14
 12.  "And that's not all," Haman added. "I'm the only person Queen Esther invited to accompany the king to the banquet she gave. And she has invited me along with the king tomorrow.
 13.  But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king's gate."
 14.  His wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Have a gallows built, seventy-five feet  high, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go with the king to the dinner and be happy." This suggestion delighted Haman, and he had the gallows built.

 

Esther 6:1-14
 1.  That night the king could not sleep; so he ordered the book of the chronicles, the record of his reign, to be brought in and read to him.
 2.  It was found recorded there that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, who had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
 3.  "What honor and recognition has Mordecai received for this?" the king asked.   "Nothing has been done for him," his attendants answered.
 4.  The king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he had erected for him.
 5.  His attendants answered, "Haman is standing in the court."   "Bring him in," the king ordered.
 6.  When Haman entered, the king asked him, "What should be done for the man the king delights to honor?"   Now Haman thought to himself, "Who is there that the king would rather honor than me?"
 7.  So he answered the king, "For the man the king delights to honor,
 8.  have them bring a royal robe the king has worn and a horse the king has ridden, one with a royal crest placed on its head.
 9.  Then let the robe and horse be entrusted to one of the king's most noble princes. Let them robe the man the king delights to honor, and lead him on the horse through the city streets, proclaiming before him, `This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!'"
 10.  "Go at once," the king commanded Haman. "Get the robe and the horse and do just as you have suggested for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Do not neglect anything you have recommended."
 11.  So Haman got the robe and the horse. He robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city streets, proclaiming before him, "This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!"
 12.  Afterward Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief,
 13.  and told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him.   His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, "Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has started, is of Jewish origin, you cannot stand against him--you will surely come to ruin!"
 14.  While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet Esther had prepared.

 

Esther 7:1-10
 1.  So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther,
 2.  and as they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again asked, "Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted."
 3.  Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your majesty, grant me my life--this is my petition. And spare my people--this is my request.
 4.  For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king. "
 5.  King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, "Who is he? Where is the man who has dared to do such a thing?"
 6.  Esther said, "The adversary and enemy is this vile Haman."   Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
 7.  The king got up in a rage, left his wine and went out into the palace garden. But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate, stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.
 8.  Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining.   The king exclaimed, "Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?"   As soon as the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
 9.  Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, "A gallows seventy-five feet  high stands by Haman's house. He had it made for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king."  The king said, "Hang him on it!"
 10.  So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's fury subsided.

Wow!  What a modern parallel!!

 

 

[hattend]

Are you talking about this one? Man, that was my favorite cover, too (I was an 11 year old boy...LOL)

[mvpel]

What do you call 9 dead Republicans?

New Democrat voters.

How about "18 new Democrat voters?"

[BartMan1]

Vichy Chix alert....

[fightinJAG]

I say it's the best album ever because of its spectacular innovation and its seemingly unending layers of sounds and, for lack of a better word, concepts.

Is Pet Sounds the only disk to listen to? Nope. But, still, wow.

I just hope the Vichy Chix don't put that dumb EW cover on their next CD. If they have a next CD.

[fightinJAG]

Maybe Natalie & The Peeps could play for these guys:

Don't tell me I started this flood!

[valleygal]

I was 8 years old and my mother had ALL Herb's albums...still does. Funny this should come up because I just bought his "Definitive Hits" last night. A real walk down memory lane.

I see when I left I should never have asked why the chicks crossed the road! LOL!

I will bookmark to read rest of thread later. I just checked in to see if anyone knows what channel the Brokaw interview with the President is on. My dh keeps saying the Discovery channel.

[valleygal]

The gal on the Whipped Cream cover was actually covered in shaving cream (so Herb said in the CD insert I bought last night). Her name was Delores Erickson or something similar. I'd have to go check it again.

[tame]

She thinks the greatest invention is the thermos bottle. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. Gnatalie's question is how does it know?

Heh, heh.

Question: What does Natalie say when a guy blows in her ear?

Answer: "Oh, thanks for the refill!"

[tame]

I love that album cover. yum yum:o)

[tame]

Man, that was my favorite cover, too (I was an 11 year old boy...LOL)

I bet that didn't get yer' hormones ragin' as much as the Batgirl (Evonne Craig) and the Catwoman (Julie Newmar) got my hormones ragin' when I was only 4 years old! LOL!

[tame]

I just hope the Vichy Chix don't put that dumb EW cover on their next CD. If they have a next CD.

I thought you didn't like the Pet Sounds album cover because it has a picture of the Beach Boys were feeding the Snippy Zits, argh.

[fightinJAG]

Oh, so YOU'RE the one who started that flood.

I am waiting for tame to pull out the "why don't they make like a banana and split" jokes. LOL

As a little squirt, my DH somehow got hooked on Herb Albert when he heard him on the radio one day by chance. After DH obtained an old, discarded trumpet, he would go down in the basement of his apartment building, listen to Herb on a little transistor radio, then try to play the song. DH did actually learn to play the trumpet that way!

Now if that isn't the American way.

[tame]

New Democrat voters.

How about "18 new Democrat voters?"

Argh, argh:o)

[fightinJAG]

The BBs are feeding goats, methinks. But same difference, eh?

[tame]

Maybe Natalie & The Peeps could play for these guys:

Even those guys don't deserve a punishment as bad as the Snippy Zits.
