--- Quote from: Tova on 02 Jan 2012, 21:22 ---How could you possibly ever deliberately want to be without eggs? If baking is science for hungry people, and sufficiently advanced science is indisginguishable from magic, then eggs would have to be just about the number one magic ingredient.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 02 Jan 2012, 21:19 ---Is it just the flavor of English that I grew up with talking, or does "We were short on egg" sound odd to anyone else?
--- End quote ---
She actually says "We were short an egg".

Any way you want to look at it, the meaning of today's strip is that the yolk's on us. :-D
Tova:
Ooof. The joke material in this thread is a shell of its former self. :laugh:
DonInKansas:
Seeing Marigold and the cashier staring at the egg reminded me of the scene in Clerks where the guy is doing endurance tests on the eggs.
no one special:
So i LOVE how Jeph has created the word "eierschade", which roughly means "egg-related shame" (simple, and hilarious).
What also cracks me up is the other translation for "eier":
-----------------------------------------
German
eier (noun)
1. Eier {pl} [vulg.] [Hoden]
nuts [vulg.]
goolies [Br.] [vulg.]
balls [vulg.] [testicles]
cobblers [vulg.] [testicles]
cojones [esp. Am.] [coll.]
whirlygigs [vulg.] [testicles]
bollocks [Br.] [vulg.] [testicles]
nards [vulg.] [testicles]
---------------------------------------------
All of a sudden, that becomes a whole different kind of shame! Which, oddly enough, could probably be attributed to Marigold as well!! :laugh:
Kugai:
How eggscruciatingly embarrassing :-D
