A Real Life Secret Egg by Icarus

July 10th, 2008 4:58 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: You'll know what to do.

Secret eggs are the little surprises that are hidden into places you don't expect (sometimes called "easter eggs" in movies or games). These are my real life secret eggs, and I introduce them to you via the ancient art form of SONNET:

I own a set of painted egg-shaped things
depicting nature on their vivid shells.
From long gone trip to China I did bring
these beautiful fake eggs I cherish well.

This task does tear my weary heart in two -
I find myself in quite divided thought:
to make some real life secret eggs for you,
or keep the foreign treasure I had bought.

And thus I settled on a compromise;
out of eight eggs I would keep only one.
The rest would hopefully bring some surprise
to people's lives, adding much joy and fun.

So sate yourself with this small praxis fix:
Enjoy my secret eggs - click the pics!

Another fantastic completion - nice :)

Also, ouch - do you only have nine toes now, a pathological fear of bikes, or both? I can only imagine that as being extremely painful...

What doesn't kill ye only makes ye stronger?

I only have 9 toes, and I have a pathological fear of showing my feet to people. I'm still biking though.

Same thing happened to me in Black Rock City a couple years ago. Gears got so gummed up from the dust that they stopped and my feet went into the spokes. I grew back most of what I lost though.

I'm going to be thinking about those beautiful little eggs sitting in those hidden away places waiting to be found all day...

Oh, I so want to know what the person who finds an egg perched on top of that beam thinks of it...

And I'm loving it.

I may check back in some of the more accessible locations to see where the eggs have gone.

To your last question...
