This was some pretty good schtuff before Chazz got hitched! Two eggs scrambled for me, Chazz!

A dog and his master connecting over fried eggs, priceless.

Hey Chazz, make him some ‘Grits’ with those eggs..

Good. Because it is time to move onto something else.

Ugh … I’ll pass. Boot camp broke me the habit of eating eggs.

But if ya’ gots some BACON, then …

I smell something and it’s BACON! Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon there’s only one thing that smells like bacon and IT’S BACON!! What’s that say? I CAN’T READ!! Please, please gimme what’s in the bag!

OMG…Xane - are you ‘Banks’ from Barkeater Lake? Ohhh I hope so.

Oh I feel better!

Whew!

Our long national nightmare appears to be over. But let’s wait until we go to the park to be sure.

As someone told me in the college dining hall, before being in the Army, you can’t make powdered fried eggs. That’ll save you in the post mess hall at least, but not in a field mess.

He’s still rockin the ponytail

Eggs! The unborn embryo of the avian species.

Still want eggs for breakfast?

Paula: Nah, just thinking of nostalgic commercials.

So much better than the new commercial.

@ Xane_T: Thanks for the link. You’re right! So much

better than the new one!

My hubby was in the army in the 1960’s. He says they were always asked how they wanted their eggs, but the eggs were always served scrambled. Apparently it was a legal thing: they were required by law to ask.

The way over 99% of layers in this country are treated, eating eggs is about as anti-bird as you can get. They are kept in a space little bigger than they are for the entirety of their lives, are so genetically altered in the interest of increasing productivity that they have a league of health issues and are worn out after a year of production (if they live that long), and are fed a diet that is so unnatural to them that they must also be fed drugs in order to survive. The male chicks have it much better than the female chicks - since they serve no purpose (“layers” are genetically different than “broilers,” so the off-spring of layers are never raised for meat) they are immediately killed, typically by being tossed into a grinder or similar gruesome method. Only the females have value, so only they are subjected to a year of absolute misery.

If you care anything about animal welfare or the environment (or your own health or the taste of the eggs), then only buy eggs labeled “Certified Humane,” “American Humane Certified,” or “Animal Welfare Approved.”

i meet the yardbirds who lay them they seem happy

And only eat free-range corn, carrots, lettuce, and pecans.
