Thank you
Swift, you confirmed my "cat point" in the other egg-thread--they think they are curious toys. However, those eggs might still smell like chickens, too. That's funny. I'm wondering if he Photoshopped it, because the cat's licking his lips seems too lucky. I saved it anyway.

Balancing eggs on the spring equinox is just as valid a way of celebrating spring as standing in the snow with friends at sunset, eating roasted horsemeat and drinking immeasurable amounts of mead.
I prefer the latter but that's probably just me

I agree, the point is just knowing what is what. I don't think you can drink mead and balance eggs at the same time. By today's standards, mead is pretty gross. Drink too much of it and you'd be seeing monsters eating people, too.
