| Since there is nothing exciting to say about this picture, I will tell you a little story. First of all, you have to know that Aptos is pronounced "ap-toss." I think it was the name of an Indian tribe or something. So anyway, many years ago, I was sitting in a diner on the edge of town staring at some scrambled eggs and wondering how it was possible to carry on with life in a linear fashion when each moment was playing itself out in reverse. The drama was unbearable, and so were the eggs. They seemed to be turning a most peculiar vivid greenish-blue color, much like our friend Christine. Well, the booth behind mine was occupied by some truckers with a big drawl, the likes of which you don't hear much around here, even in diners. Trucker One asked Trucker Two where he was headed, and he said to the Safeway just down the road a bit. That in itself was funny enough. Then Trucker Two asked Trucker One where he was going, and he replied, "Wall ahm goin down tew Aptos after this." Except he said it like "Ayupp-towss." I couldn't laugh; nothing was happening in order and I didn't know why my eggs existed so I just slid under the table and stayed there until it was safe. The End. |

| wim commented on 03.12.04 | | Rebecca, your eggs, as my eggs, as all other eggs exist because the easterbunny, who is not a rabbit, has to put them coloured in churchbells, unboiled before the trip to Rome, boiled on their return. If truckers risk to meet the mad-mat-hunting-rebby, a squauw of foreign origine, the bunny has to scrambl the eggs by sheer intelligence, forcing the lady with the camera on the ground, only to maintain the secret of the eggs. If there were no eggs, they could never fall out of heaven. |

| Pablo commented on 03.12.04 | | Was the floor clean under the table? It has been my experience that the floors in diners are not places that one would generally choose to sit. However I did frequent one in Cincinnati that had exceptional floors and eggs but I always suspected them of filling the Heinz bottles with a cheaper brand of ketchup. I stopped going there in the end because I moved back to England. |

| Rebecca commented on 03.12.04 | | Hey I used to eat ketchup all the time, straight out of the bottle. |

| Jeff commented on 03.12.04 | | I have a hard enough time eating eggs when the moments are playing out in an acceptable order, I think I would have been more likely to just eat straight ketchup but that's just me.. |

| Rebecca commented on 03.12.04 | Jeff - The eggs were supposed to save me from myself. What was I supposed to order, a white rabbit scramble?
Ian - I haven't seen the movie so I can't say whether I do or not. My sister says I'm like this "Daria" character but I haven't seen that either so I couldn't say. I do wear contact lenses instead of glasses whenever possible. They're not colored ones though. |
