Egg Pants

Egg Pants.



Egg pants!



Why do you affect me so, egg pants? Since d. showed me the NYT article about them yesterday, we have each broken into giggles more times than I can count. I almost cut myself shaving this morning when an egg pants fit overtook me.

And they are coming- sooner than I expected. There will be a delivery to Cambridge (from the only official Canadian vendor, who is in Ottawa Port Dover, rcmenterprises@sympatico.ca ) TOMORROW. And I've found a willing way-station between them and me. So if everything goes according to plan, I will deliver [livejournal.com profile] melted_snowball two pairs of egg pants for his birthday, which is Sunday. Go, me!

Otherwise: they say they'll ship for $7.50 Express Post, or a bit less if you want regular mail.
A box of two egg pants from these nice folks is $20CAD plus tax.

...If you happen to be local and want in on the order, I imagine they might be able to fit you in on this delivery if you drop them an email this afternoon.

If, y'know, you're as obsessed with egg pants as I/we seem to be. (Isn't everyone? If not, why not?)



If you are not [livejournal.com profile] melted_snowball, you may open the cut. If you are [livejournal.com profile] melted_snowball, please wait until I say you can. Thanks. :)

But why are they called egg pants instead of egg cups? Pants have two legs, these have three. Ah, the mysteries of the universe.

Because "pants" is a funnier word than "cups."

Can you imagine the first time someone realized that from certain angles they looked just like little pants-- when all along they thought they were designing egg cups? Much giggling. Pants.

I should have ordered two more sets. One for you and one for the silent auction.

Hey- are you going to midwinter? I just decided yesterday that I would go. d's staying here.

I am not sure that I'm going to be there. I have a week off over new years, then will be away five days over MLK weekend for a conference in San Diego. Just not sure I can take more time just 3 weeks later.....

I, of course, want everyone to come to MWG, so I can see them. And because MWG is fabulous.

Besides, Mr. Wife, I will need a spouse -- Ms. Math will be in the UK. If neither you nor she is there, I may have to resort to my consort, whom I know will be there (since he's on the planning cte).

I'm thinking of bringing my snowshoes. :)

And resorting to your consort- I'm so sure he'll be utterly verklempt.

snowshoes sound like fun. Maybe I'll bring an extra bag for them on the plane. :)

If only I had thought to buy a pair of egg pants for the silent auction!

Wow! Those are too cool!

Dang, this is the second time someone's made me aware of something I'd love to give as a gift, when I'm committed to giving only local southeastern MI gifts.

!!!

You MUST tell us how d. reacts to these for his b-day. They are too cool.

And no wonder you've had fits of giggles. I think I might now, too.
