Post by bunniefuu »

whoa Bible times it's just out of everything yep we have

a catering tent and a nurse's station

and a film crew

wow what are we waiting okay we're burning daylight here people

chop chops the daylight is not all that is burning it's too hot I am

uh junior I'm the director no complaining guys

trust me when we're done with this we'll have the best show ever I cannot wait

just have some patience patience

he's fine nothing not that kind of patience

yeah like one Bob the Tomato here and right

now I'm in the middle of the desert it is so hot the hair is so much

so much where I'm about to get to the bottom of the Amazing Story of one of my personal Heroes Abraham a man of

incredible patience where's the patience no not that kind of skip this part and hurry up and find

this Ibraham guy members whoa

[Music] whoa

hey Jean-Claude move that light over Mr Abraham's nose is shiny could I get

some makeup here [Music] God bless you

and that background it looks a little bit too deserty uh Philippe oh beautiful

okay let's do this and Mr Abraham you

are the father of a great nation what is the secret to your leadership well

frankly Amazon what happened um well get another I brought plenty

actually you're down to one Bob one oh no just have to get through this kind of

quickly then huh hurry hurry hurry all right everyone take three take three

three I said frankly I'm as surprised as you good boy

as I said frankly [Music] so there's a spitting camels good cut

cut very sorry Mr Abraham I'm so embarrassed you are blushing

I'm red that's what I said you are definitely a man of great

No Patience

patience no no no no patience not patience

oh that makes perfect sense cookies waiting Abraham interview Take Five

sorry moving right along all right then back to your story Abe

well to tell you the truth Bob it's all about Hope and trusting that God is

gonna do what he says he's gonna do and even if it takes some time hey waiting

is really hard sure it is but sometimes you gotta wait even when the waiting

Ain't Easy foreign [Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause] [Music]

of Our Own and that's what we wanted a child

here's your ball that's Harold Aunt Sarah

I think I'd make a good mommy uh this is lot Abraham's favorite nephew

oh

sure I think maybe even Sarah wanted kids a bit cheaper like kids and plus

you can set pizzas on their backs like a little table so you know extra awesome

[Applause] and then one day God spoke to me

he told me to leave my country my father's home for a land that he would

show me it was very surprising this is very surprising

God said one day my children and my children's children would become a great

nation and he was going to bless me

thank you finally a child of our own I can't wait

Moving Along

[Music]

that's fantastic moving right along here yes let's talk about

foreign

practically a Seedling but but I was at peace and ready for the adventure ahead

peace it was a mess packing change of

address forms I have happy you know I preferred to live near

my mother so Sarah are you sunburned I'm red

that's what I said you know I've got an ointment for that so anyway God said to go but where Abe

says he didn't say he didn't say

my insides all crazy [Music] crazy like a smoothie you know what I could go

for right now a smoothie I love those [Music]

then just skip to the part where we learn about patience [Music]

as you were saying so we obeyed God leaving a homeland of

her immediately glot tagged along too we took a lot of sheep lot took a lot of

pizza a lot we finally arrived in Canaan well life

was good but still no children and salmon hit

lot ate all the pizza plus cheese in the crust

so we decided to move again this time to Egypt to weather it out

and though we didn't have our own home and still did not have a child we were

patient it wasn't easy but we waited for God's promise I spent time thinking

about all the things I would do with my baby and I started thinking of names for

him Larry Moe Shimp God had made us a promise and we had

hope when waiting got hard it helped me to think about how wonderful it would be

when we got our promise so that's how patients paid off the end okay let's go

home for our cookies away Junior what about the child they were waiting for the child we wanted a child haven't you

been listening sorry cookies on the brain anyway we were at the part when

The Shepherds Fight

Abe Shepherds and lot Shepherds started fighting fighting yeah you do not want

to wear wool in the desert it makes you grumpy you're very mean

what and I love each other like brothers but our Shepherds well that's another

story [Music]

so I allowed a lot to choose which direction he would go and that land

would belong to him east or west [Music]

I think I'm gonna go east and my dear nephew went his own way

my last bit of family left hey that was a sad day but that's the

time when God spoke to him again and reminded him of his promise [Music]

God told me to look around all around East and West he promised me that all

the land would be mine and that my descendants would outnumber the sand

but I can't count the sand I I think that's the idea honey

it was a wonderful promise and then right when we thought our answer was

about to arrive wall broke out you

you've promises would you [Music] that's what I'm talking about I can't do

this anymore Bob yeah watch he said I'm burning hot out here

little I'm tired of waiting I want to go home I

want my cookies ow Junior come on this is why we're here

for what Bob so I can miss the cookies my mom promised me no Junior you're

eventually gonna get the cookies your mom promised you but what can I do in the meantime well

do you trust that your mom's gonna do what she said she's gonna do

[Music] Bob I'll get my cookies eventually I

shouldn't have gotten so upset but we're still out of cave Oh no I got an extra

if you want it you mean it sure it's the second season of Dancing With the Stars

and you can tape over it ready to roll so Abe I don't know how hard it is to

wait calmly for something you really really want tell us what happened next then I got a new name Abraham which

means follower of many nations has a nice ring to it doesn't it

The Amazing Promise

then God made good on his promise and sure enough Sarah gave boys to a baby

boy the baby God promised 15 years Olia

the boy that would become the father of Israel the nation that would bless the

whole world all the way through King David to Jesus

wait that's the end you're done with the story oh there's a lot more actually but

as far as patience goes it's a good place to stop can we sh**t a few holes you got it son

come on it's a nice story aren't you glad you

waited so there you have it patience it's not always easy to wait but God always comes

through with his promises are you ready for your cookies now Junior what already oh boy cookies here

I come home do you suppose there might be some cookies

always eluded and after all these years

finally

what is it that's it what the sunflower seed yes

it's not a discovery it's a snack take this home plant it you'll see see

what what does this have to do with anything I thought we were talking about inventing a lot of people put great stock in the underarms book but the

Bible a much greater book if you ask me holds the answer you see

enthusia no good haste makes mistakes

haste makes mistakes impatience can lead to disaster that sounds familiar

it takes time to get it right so be patient day and night

[Music]

Be Patient

[Music]

be patient and do things right

but I forgot this song so I rush along through my days and plans more hastily

and I soon lose track of the friends I lack and I lose what means the most to

me so if I just slow down if I look around I would see there's more

important things than what I create and I'd learn to wait and enjoy the joys

that life will bring I am willing to wait my work will be

great with patience I'll do things right I am willing to wait my work will be

great with patience I'll do things right

[Music]

la la la [Applause] la I am willing to wait my work will be

great with patience I'll do things right

the time has come the unveiling of the inventions to bring back the boobs

once the boo-boo lands inside it's not shut trapping him forever for our

enjoyment but how do you get zebu inside that's my purple mayor is where I come

in you'll see I thought to myself what better way to attract a boo-boo than

with a blue face lunch [Music]

any moment now perfect Maurice will be so proud that I

The Perfect Moment

stuck with it maybe we can still do the baguette really I'll show this to him first before I take it to the Mad

Science I mean the scientist [Music]
