Joy o joys! Sunshine lollipops and rainbows everywhere! It's Easter!

What egg you getting, eh?

This year, I would like some chocolate, a toy and a surprise. But that is three things. *Sigh*

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've already got a Flake one, but am banking on a Ferrero Rocher one come Sunday.

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'll be buying my own, off to the Australia shop to beg for a cherry ripe one I think, failing that, a trip to Thorntons or even Selfridges next week for knock downs.

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As long as it's Mars chocolate I don't mind. I wouldn't mind a Malteasers one, they have crunchy bits in the egg now.

― jel --, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what? the eggs that you have knocked over and broken *deliberately* before easter so that you can then get them on the cheap? bad man.

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

HE IS A BAD EGG

― N., Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

no nickie, I am not a that much of a pikey. I mean the dead expensive ones that Selfridges knock down in price because they haven't sold them before Easter. Got a really really nice Godiva one last year on the very cheap.

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

[what is the Australia Shop? presumably not a shop where one can buy Australia.]

― N., Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the austtralia shop is a store in Covent garden where you can buy all things Aussie. Vegemite, chocolate, boomerangs, koala burgers etc.

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can you buy foul Kraft cheese confections?

― N., Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

have just finished shuddering at the thort of koala burgers. wait, no i haven't *shudder* right then, for easter i am going to get a MR BOOJA BOOJA vegan chocolate egg, i believe they come with choccoe truffles inside mmmmmmm Mr Booja Booja is the GOD OF CHOCOLATE. available in good (ie. not Holland and Barrett) health food shops, even though it is SINFULLY BAD for you!!

― katie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh yes

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There aren't any Aussie coffee table books!

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the grubbing up of chocolate truffles entails the cruel french farmer tormenting his pigs, katie!! his snout is bruised yet only humans get to eat...

― mark s, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't know, my mummy will probably buy me an egg. Let's just hope it's not DOUBLE DECKER.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

SHOCK! Mr Booja Booja in cruel pig torturing scandal! i shall add him to my list of things to boycott EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!

― katie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Instead of stinky eggZor, I will be guzzling Green and Blacks bars (now only 78p/100g in Safeways). More and better choccy = much happier RickyT.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i don't like the way most easter eggs now come with the extra non-egg things *outside* the egg rather than inside. it seems like a real afterthought (egg maker: "bollocks, we forgot to put a bag of smarties inside the egg. ah, we'll just stick a tube of smarties inside the box, that'll do"). where's the fun in opening your egg and getting nothing inside?

buttons eggs are an honourable exception to this trend.

― rener, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This might be the first year ever that I might have to buy my own easter eggs. This makes me feel a bit sad :(

― Sarah, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Last year my mum bought me a Pokémon egg! But by the time she remembered about it it had gone all manky (hahaha MANKEY do you see).

― Sarah, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So do they have the chicken-clucking bunny ads for Cadbury Creme Eggs over there too or is that just an American thing?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Please explain your eggs to me. I am confused. Our eggs only have boiled egg in them and come in a basket with plastic grass and candy.

― Samantha, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

An American thing, Ned. Ours say HOW DO YOU EAT YOURS!!! And therefore many people eat Creme Eggs in a STRANGE MANNER. Current one features a preggers lady eating hers with chips. Then again, that's just like us WACKY AND ECCENTRICK BRITS eh??

― Sarah, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cadbury Creme eggs are beyond foul.

― Samantha, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Samantha is claiming that chocolate eggs don't exist in America? You know - like from the chocolate hens. You must have those, right?

― N., Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

if i ever have kids i will make them eat *real* eggs, Cool Hand Luke style, on Easter Sunday. and then make them run round a church backwards three times. as my parents did to me.

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is Samantha now making a fowl joke? I don't understand anything anymore.

― N., Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nickie, have you been watching Jackass again?

Jonnie to thread!!!!! re-enaction on Easter Monday!!!!!

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No way would I do the cool hand luke challenge.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jonnie: what are you CHICKEN!!??!!??

chickens, of course, having moral absolution from Cool-Hand-Luke-downs on anti-cannibalistic grounds.

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jonnie is your real name Preston or something?

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd do the milk, I'd do the eggnog but there is no way on this earth that I would attempt to eat 50 hard boiled eggs in an hour.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

atp milk challenge?

we need to find someone to drink the other flavour.

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm not generally one for watching my weight (except in a kind of "whoo - would you look at that!" way) but this egg-guzzling plan really turns my stomach. I mean think of the cholestrol. You'd probably die on the spot.

― N., Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

probably.

but how can we find out for sure?

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

actually, there was a really good programme on saturday mornings on bbc2, called Hollywood Science, or some such, where two happy scientist chapees would perform little dinky experiments to prove or disprove spurious events in films.

the melty boat scene in Dante's Peak, the flying bus bit in Speed and the egg-eating in Cool Hand Luke.

For the latter they filled a big stomach-sized stretchy bag full o eggs, mushed them up and wired the lot to a pump. Verdict: his stomach would have exploded.

Conclusion: Hollwood = lies

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Milka Löffel-Eier --- mmm, lecker!

― Colin Meeder, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish you hadn't told Chris this.

― N., Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I still reckon I could do it. I mean, Chris Neiratko managed 37 and he's scrawny (admittedly there was vomiting)

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

pshaw, nick, don't discourage the lad.

if *anyone* can do it, chris can.

i vote that instead of a traditional street party on jubilee weekend, we set up a gingham beclothed table, put on our party hats, and cheer chris on in his brave endeavour.

ATP is no good because i don't get to watch.

i have a preliminary first aid certificate, so safety rules would be adhered to.

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'll have to do it live by webcam from Thailand then.

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

actually I think my mate the G could do it too, he's a human eating machine, which is surprising considering how skinny he is.

― chris, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sounds to me like we've got a contest on our hands. the laws of anatomy bedamned!

i will volunteer to cook a portion of the eggs required. but i have never cooked an egg before. and i don't know how you like them. but i can learn.

i will also peel the shells off, as to leave them on would be taking this whole thing a step too far.

― nickie, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Freshly laid!

― DG, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm getting my gf a Lindt Bunny and some cadbury eggs. Don't know what I'm getting yet....

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am afraid I already cheated on this one. Two weeks ago I bought two bags of jelly bird eggs (the cheap equivalent of jelly beans that actually tasted like something other than sugar...I was pleasantly surprised). Then when I was at the grocery store over the weekend I picked up an awesome bag of Smucker's jelly beans. They were good, now they're gone.

I can't eat chocolate, so unfortunately that's out of the question. I bought robin eggs (the malted ones) a few weeks ago too...hah...just couldn't wait, I think all this bunniness is adorable. I have a Holland minilop named Ben, after all, and he's eternally the Easter bunny.

― jen, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is it true that there are Buffy eggs this year?

― rosemary, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You gotta be shittin' me! Really? Where can I get em?

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what about Kinder-eggs? Those are the best!

― geeta, Tuesday, 26 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like my easter eggs any way except made out of compound chocolate. YUCK!

― Penny Lane, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what about that veggie choco "substitute" carob?

carob vs. chocolate FITE!

― rener, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Srubbish. Vegetarian chocolate = chocolate. Vegan chocolate = green and blacks = num num. Hence no need for weird carob stuff.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Haf researched Buffy eggs. Do not think they exist. Now, Pokémon eggs exist.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what sort of RUBBIDGE researcher are you?

― Alanick Dastoorwartha, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

One who reads the artickle and STILL is convinced they don't exist! It does not show up on Googles first page = DEAD TO MY EYES. Unless I see one in Woolies.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It appears right at the top if you search for buffy easter egg. What mentalist search were you running?

Easter Buffy fan fiction!

― N., Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm not getting paid to write this story.

From the above. Quote of the day.

― N., Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

More Easter Buffy fanfic. What strange subgenre have I stumbled upon?

― N., Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Who wants to be my best friend and buy me a Buffy egg?

― rosemary, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)
