Next time you go to buy eggs you will be offered (for a small additional cost) the option of purchasing a half dozen customised Egg-Heads.

These are ordinary hen eggs unto which the heads and faces of the celebrity figures of your choice have been raster printed using a simple ink and laser process. The eggs are dispensed from a machine which features the celebrity heads that can be selected from a comprehensive menu. The usual subjects are all present and don't need to be listed here.

Now when you want an egg, you will have the extra satisfaction of cracking open your hard boiled Egg-Head icon with the back of a spoon, or bashing it against the edge of the pan before frying.

       Well, that gives me an idea. (+)   

       //The usual subjects are all present and don't need to be listed here.//   

       Thank you for your restraint. [+]

       The way things are here now, a grain of talc falling on the hair trigger would detonate every nuclear bomb known to mankind simultaneously.

       So you can start your day with murder fantasies about crushing your enemies' skulls and eating their brains. Okay.   

       Not something I'm wired for but would probably be popular with a certain crowd.

       You know those things made of rods that you can put your face or hand into and the shape is mimicked on the other end? If you had a very fine one with hundreds of pins linked to the facial recognition scan in your phone you could order a soft-boiled egg with a bust, a message, or some geometric forms.   

       Maybe the boiling times could be lessened if a texture was impressed on the shell that quickened heat transfer.   

       Funny how some folks immediately go to the most violent iteration of the idea. At base this idea has some practical applications that are overshadowed here by ideological bullshit. Look for the humor in the violence.

       Agreed - the cracking open of eggs is a joyful occasion and a source of particular merriment for children.

       Uh huh. Lie and hide what this idea was about.   

       If hatred and violent murder fantasies give your life meaning, why hide it? You do you man.

       When I said a single grain of talcum powder, I should have made that a single molecule. You simply cannot stop yourself from making personal attacks on me via this platform. Why don't you just vent to me privately via email and keep the halfbakery free from this tiresome perpetual tirade? It's why I stopped posting before.

       //keep the halfbakery free from this tiresome perpetual tirade?//   

       Boy is that a dictionary example of projection.   

       Post anything you want, this is a free forum but don't get pissy if somebody responds in a way you don't like. I won't tell you what you can and can't post, you do the same for me.   

       Suggesting gruesome murder fantasies about ANYONE strikes me as kind of sick but like I said, you do you.
doctorremulac3, Apr 15 2025
  

       All I ask politely is that you leave me alone. Try it and see how nice it is very everyone.
xenzag, Apr 15 2025
  

       Cool, let's leave each other alone, which includes not posting murder fantasies about people in the other's country and expecting the other to just take it, something I would never do anyway.   

       Deal.

       Send me a pic so I can get it printed on an egg hahahahaha - oh how 8th would have loved this.

       //Send me a pic so I can get it printed on an egg hahahahaha//   

       So now you're fantasizing about killing me?   

       You are way out of line. If you're engaging in murder fantasies you need to leave people on this forum out of it.
doctorremulac3, Apr 15 2025
  

       hahaha - now you're self identifying as a hard boiled egg that gets "murdered"! That's genuinely hilarious, and must be a first even for this place. For how long have you held this "I am the egg-man" fantasy? Now I'm imagining a new James Elroy style crime thriller...... a head-sized egg shell is found posed deliberately on a large white breakfast plate - its contents are gone - what is clearly the dastardly weapon responsible lies near by - it's a giant yolk stained tea spoon!
