Egg Shells and Costumes

Oh my goodness.  Today I have discovered something wonderful.  So I was cheating at a word association game on Facebook.  I know. Sad, right?  And the word was carving.  I want people on Facebook to think that I am creative, so I Googled the word carving e and Google autofilled "carving egg shells".

...

I had never heard of such a thing so I clicked on it and...



My God, people are crazy.  These things are amazing!  I realize that I am geeking out about carved chicken fetuses, but I can barely carve a pumpkin!  Actually, I happen to have an example of just how much I suck at carving pumpkins.

Yes. He is hurling. His name is Humphrey.

Anyway, I did some research at the very informative theeggsculptor.com and apparently these are all real eggs, but not eggs that ever had living baby chickens inside of them.  They use dentist tools to do it.  I don't know about you, but I would loooove to own a carved egg.  I once painted Elmo on an egg, but it isn't really the same thing.

More on carving things.  Pumpkins.  Halloween.  Costumes. (See. I can do this.)  I still haven't decided what to go as for All Hallows Eve.  If you are like me and have not yet determined your look of choice yet, here are some suggestions for really easy (lazy) costumes.

1. Static Cling- Had to be done.  Basically, you wear all black and tape socks to yourself.  You probably shouldn't do this one, actually.

2.  Bag O' Jelly Beans- Get a clear garbage bag.  Cut some leg holes in it.  Fill it with multi-colored balloons.

3. Good ol' Fashioned Zombie/Witch/Vampire- You know what to do.

4.  Cereal Killer- Pin cereal boxes to yourself and hold a (fake) knife.

5.  Crazy Cat Lady/Man- Borrow your friends/sisters stuffed animal cats.  Arrange as needed.

6.  Cloudy with a Chance of Showers- Pin cotton balls or paper clouds to yourself.  Bring a water pistol.  Only squirt some people. Keep them on their toes.

Well, that's about it.  If you want incredibly lazy-ass costumes, then that is about all I know.  Do what you will with that.

Still love those egg shells, though.


Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
