ושמרתם ועשיתם כי הוא חכמתכם ובינתכם לעיני העמים
אשר ישמעון את כל החקים האלה ואמרו רק עם חכם ונבון הגוי הגדול הזה
Therefore observe and perform [the commandments] —
for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the nations,
that, when they hear all these laws, shall say:
'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people!'

Hm? Isn't the pshat indicating a situation where someone holds a club over the other's head, and he ducks and says says, "Yesyesyes, you're wise and understanding!"?
Tyuvte.
Ah, so here is the PurimToddler post I've been waiting for.
Not that funny.
don't flatter yourself. that's a real conversation we had online yesterday. there was no intention to even attempt a parody of you, anymore than steg is doing a "purim renbreb" when he uses her "checklist"
Whee! He was getting that quote for me :)
I feel all special now.
unless this was another brother you were talking to...how many brothers do you have? just one?
gah. that would be weird if you all were just quoting that pasook...
:(
bro! how could you?! you just made the good doctor go ":("!
shrug, i'm the bad one, remember?
Steg, I just wanna tell you, man, that your new picture...it kinda looks like someone is pulling you offstage by your tie...
but i'm not wearing a tie... :-O
in the picture, i mean. i am wearing a tie right now, actually.
