Friend of my parents once stole a cooked egg. The "owner" turned towards so he SWALLOWED it. hahahahahaha What a stupid guy huh?

Blackbirds eggs are very attractive.

Oh god, actually, yes! In ninth grade me and my buddy wanted to do a whole 'fly away home' thing with the area Canada geese. Her subdivision was across the street from the home & property of one of the wealthiest men in town (jerky company owner). We 'disguised' ourselves by wearing her dad's baseball caps and safety goggles and carried a padded box over to his house. He had a big, reedy pond in his unfenced front yard where the geese liked to stand, breed, and yell at the world. We started wading in it, highly conspicuously, and sneaked a few eggs until he came out in his underwear and yelled at us. He'd been eating cottage cheese so his mouth and saliva were all slimy white.

We did a bad job of incubating the eggs. :(

i blame the easter bunny.

(did know someone who had a bunch of blown eggs in school, this before the change in law in 1980s that made it illegal)

Pre-emptive strike against Ned calling me out on very apropos story

More than 7,000 eggs, including 653 belonging to the UK's most protected species.

Total bummer.

the eggs i can kinda understand (attractive, nice shape), it's all the dead birds in the fridge that get me.

koogs, Thursday, 3 April 2008 17:58 (eighteen years ago)

It's illegal to blow eggs now?
