Hellooooooo...

North Egg made some friends on the way to work today!

Thanksgiving

Linus: In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksg-iving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food...Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: 'We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."

Peppermint Patty: Amen.

Seven world-renowned astrologers present...

It's Friday, folks, and North Egg had a lot of time on her hands. To foster (even more!) community amongst the Eggs, she borrowed Far Egg's highly scientific and intuitive astrological yearbook. Please see below for fascinating insights into your fellow eggs' lives. If we can't trust this "extraordinary resource" (back cover copy), what can we trust?

FAR EGG: There’s no point for a peacock like you to blend in with a bunch of sparrows… Dull dependable types leave you cold.

WEST EGG: Loyal to the end… Making folks feel and look good may be your specialty. Your brilliant ideas likely make you a valued employee. You’re the type you gets better with age, simply because you refuse to stop dreaming.

SOUTH EGG: You are a rare commodity… You like to think of yourself as a superhero swooping in with your cape of fire to set everything right again.

EGG HIGHLANDS: At the very least, you need to be by yourself at least one weekend each year… A special person like you can’t expect to live a conventional lifestyle.

EGG WHITE: The 1986 Aries can summon the mask of the warrior when necessary in life… Always charging ahead to new projects , you are probably a true maverick.

ORGANIC EGG: Your competence at arguing, debating, and proving your point is striking and quite impressive. Your challenge is to find the right cause or profession to keep you fast-moving mind occupied.

L'OEUF: The 1985 Pisces has a hard time seeing the trees for the forest. The year you were born, Soviet Premier Mikkhail Gorbachev came to power promoting glasnost (cooperation across cultures and political philosophies). This humanitarian philosophy probably matches your own.

Unofficial Sweater Vest Day (!)

Today in the Eggs, South Egg, Far Egg, Egg Highlands, and another orange Egg, were all coordinated beautifully in sweater vests. Taking note of this lovely coincidence, South Egg mused, "It was cold this morning, and I thought, 'I could use some supplementary material in my core area.'" C'est bon, South Egg. C'est bon.

Fruit of the Day

The durian is commonly known as the "King of the Fruits", a label that can be attributed to its formidable look and overpowering odour. In its native southeastern Asia, the durian is an everyday food and portrayed in the local media in accordance with the cultural perception it has in the region. (Thanks, Wikipedia)

It's coming...

Word of the Day

Portmanteau-

1.A large leather suitcase that opens into two hinged compartments.

2.A word used broadly to mean a blend of two (or more) words and their meanings into one new word.

e.g. Movember (Moustache and November) or Thants (Thanks and Ants)

Newbie!

The North Egg Dispatch would like to introduce a new member to our continuously growing nest. Most recently, this shining example of health and fitness went to the CBS health assessment and was given a free blood-pressure test, seventeen CBS and You bags, and a fill-it-yourself plastic water bottle. Her past accomplishments include watching the New York Marathon and waking up early to go the the gym before work once last week. Please welcome the egg that four out of five doctors recommend assimilating into your diet--Egg White!! (Egg White is located slightly north of North Egg at the end of the cul-de-sac.)
