This seems to be drifting away from nostalgia and into some sort of war against eggs. In an attempt to tie the two subjects together, I remember watching Mork and Mindy on tv many moons ago. Mork was an alien who flew to earth in an egg. I've also watched a few episodes of it recently on Paramount. It seems to be very dated now but still quite amusing.

what about kinder eggs? has anyone ever got anything useful out of one of those things? i remember when they used to have little turtle models in them, doing very natural things for their species such as roller-blading and fishing. can't remember why but there was a brief craze for collecting them at my primary school.

Didn't they do a similar thing with crocodiles as well?

this is probably a completely different issue, but still related to the kinder eggs thing, why do humans have such a liking for depicting animals doing human things?

where's the appeal / logic in creating a little roller-blading turtle, a dog in a busniess suit, a wise-cracking rabbit (if anyone says a bad word about buggs bunny i'll drop an anvil on you).

What a logical and reasonable response! I would not dream of dissin Bugs and that has nothing to do with your anvil throwing abilities. I am not sure you are in the right cartoon though. Do you have a strange desire to chase road runners????
