I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Also, harebrained, I see what you did there. Took me a minute, but I did catch on

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Ha! That was 100% unintentional. Tim always refers to his almost-certainly-not-life-threatening ideas as harebrained schemes, so it's the local lingo.

I feel like Middle Brother should create an elaborate egg map.

That does feel like something he would do. If there's a map, I will definitely take a picture of it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My one uncle used to hide an egg in his mouth.

He had a particularly large mouth.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I guess if there are a lot of trees or shrubs they could utilize vertical space for egg hiding. I agree that this is something that could be fun to watch from the sidelines. Not to conflate kids and pets, but one year a friend of a friend gathered up all the lost and used up tennis balls from her local court. There must have been 50 of them. She gave them to my then-roommate for her lab-shepherd mix, Sam. Roomie just dumped the entire box of balls out onto the living room floor, and Sam went nuts. It was great! The 300-Easter egg event could have the same energy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

That is a lot of eggs.

Thrive to spite them

M's brother does the plastic eggs with stuff in them. There is always one egg with a bunch of ones in it. I don't think they've done 300 but I remember the first Easter I witnessed this the adults kept sending the kids back to find eggs because the cash prize egg hadn't been found. There was the initial rush of excitement and the free for all and then a kind of determined slog of...ok..more egg hunting.

David, yes having a crafty friend to do something outside home and work is nice. She has some anxiety about driving and when I was there and we were talking about getting together again she asked if we could keep meeting at her house and I was like "that works great!"

Punishingly Intricate

“One egg with a bunch of 1s” I thought was an egg filled with a bunch of little pieces of paper with the number 1 written on them. Der lol

I love the idea of the ott egg hunt! Sounds like a ton of fun.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I got my temporary crown today after a couple of false starts, and most of the pain was in my wallet as expected. I hate how rough the plastic feels to my tongue, though.

Naturally, when I checked to see what snack foods I have in my cupboard tonight it was popcorn and sunflower seeds. If I eat either this crown would probably look like a jian dui afterward.
