How not to do Easter eggs...

The devil whispered in my ear, 'You're not strong enough to withstand the storm.' I whispered in the devil's ear, 'I love your eggs.'

I would be surprised to get one ordered sunny side up that didn't have mostly liquid yolk. (It feels like one would specify hard for that).

Sunny-side up if as a side with hashbrowns or corned-beef hash. Omeletted if as a main for breakfast. Deviled as an appetizer. Also when making a bagel sandwich microwaving to make the scrambled ones works quick and easy (and doing it in a coffee mug or pyrex measure makes them just the right...

One of our local private schools is named for someone truly awful (even after accounting for why the school was founded). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammond_School_(South_Carolina)

I'm always impressed how the radio westerns (particularly Gunsmoke [1952-1961] and Fort Laramie [1956]) portray the bad that happened in terms of racism and sexism and genocide and the people who were committing it, but made it clear those people were the bad guys.

I'm guessing that my work shelves' books are not nearly as general audience interesting as my home shelves! If you start (or necro) one I will contribute.

Two new additions were gifted to me recently for my office bookshelf diorama - Oswald and Prince John. Is beheading enough to kill Oswald? Does Robin know the phony king of England is behind the Hodag's reign of terror? (Or is Prince John a prisoner like the reindeer with the Bumble in...

Picked up an e-copy of Palladium's "The Compendium of Contemporary Weapons" for my son. He might be goaded into figuring out how to convert the damage scale to 5e's (maybe using their "The Compendium of Weapons, Armour and Castles" that I already have for comparison). Had the paperback copies...
