Lamp is kind of funky, made in India. The stained glass bug was hand made by a artist in Las Cruces NM

An egg cup. Americans do not use egg cups.
(Note to gobsmacked Brits: Yes, Americans do not use egg cups. We also don’t know about dipping “Soldiers”. Yes, we really are that backward.) |

I have a bootleg CD of this album. It was nice to read the inside and now I no longer have to guess what part of the production the sounds were from. Now I'm curious what's on the back cover.

The back cover is exactly the same as the front, but without the "Stereo" sticker.

I respectfully beg to differ. When I was a kid my family had a nice green porcelain double cup egg holder. And an "egg cup" search on Ebay today produces 3,579 results.

My grandmother was a proper British woman who had soft boiled eggs and tea everyday. My dad grew up eating soft boiled eggs from egg cups during the depression. I have 7 of those 8 egg cups that they used back then, and they are still in regular use today. My sons use them. Some Americans DO use egg cups.

Wait... I thought you were in your late 40s?
Your dad must have been super old when he had you...

Well, maybe I misspoke. Dad was born during the depression. He used those egg cups from the time he was able to eat from one. His 5 older brothers used them during that time too. Dad was 30 when I was born. I'll be old enough to order off the senior menu at IHOP in January.

Hi Mr. Fish
Could you burn a copy of that cd for me and the boy?
