1,700+ Eggs

Prev1
Gonna be first at least!

I've spent the last 4 hours trying to decide if I'm done or not.

I'm less than 100 snakes from the coliseum - so I'll get that, but the motel? I've being doing the math, checking it twice, and I am so conflicted. If I continue to go full out, I PROBABLY can make it. But if I don't ... well, I'd go to a lot of effort to collect 2468 eggs. Will I get another donation from one of my neighbours who has finished and is generous? Will my aunt come to town and delay a snake harvest? What time will the event end? The others have tended to be mid afternoon here on the West Coast.

Oh decisions, decisions! I need a crystal ball!

    man I am in the EXACT same position! approx 100 snakes from the coliseum so definitely getting that. I'm starting to think without any further assistance (and I have just depleted my inventory of snake eggs, so I can't trade for more eggs each day anymore), the number of snakes I'll get each day will drop drastically. Have been collecting around 600 snakes per day which would've gotten me very close to the 12,500 mark but mhmm I don't think I'll make it without the daily eggs to trade. The deliberation is tough..

    But I'm not a message here to get those free eggs from the kind and generous OP (though of course if I got the eggs then I'd continue full steam ahead to reach the top prize). But chances of getting a generous boost from an egg donor is slim so I think i've decided to relax it, get the Coliseum in a few hours and call it gg. :roll:

    the end is near :!:

    Ok, so my nine year old daughter gets me hooked on this game in January. I build a nice respectable Springfield. I figure, "this is harmless. I don't _have_ to buy donuts." Right?

    I'm sure many of you have felt that same confidence, before the fall. Oh, yes. It started with. $1.99 worth of donuts. What's two bucks, right? Pretty soon you are calculating out how much money you would "save" by buying a truckload.

    Anyway, so here I am. The whacking day promotion arrives and I think, great. I have a chance to get some really cool things without paying for them. Yay.

    But we all know that whacking day has a price.

    I've got 5-ish days left and if I see another snake, I am going to lose it. I've got around 9500 snakes. If I could just get to that 10,000 mark, I will be able to walk a tiger. A tiger.

    So please take pity on me and lend a girl some eggs.

    Ok...I'm doing this for another player (she ::really:: needs the eggs) so I'll give it a shot.

    For the next few days (until I head to my next job) I work in retail. The job sucks, but the silver linings are fun...I have four wives. :mrgreen: One regular wife (who doesn't work where I do; otherwise, I'd be dead)...and three (work) wives. The oldest (the pharmacist) is 50 or thereabouts; of the other two, the oldest tech is in her mid 40's while the youngest is in her late 20's. How did this come about?

    About two years ago, I came back from vacation. Obviously, no one wants to come back from vacation. :( Anyway, the ladies saw my depressed look when I got back and decided to cheer me up. They started by pointing out that some of the medicaid patients that come through our drive thru do so in new (or new looking) cars. Not that many do it, but it's enough to annoy you since they're supposed to be receiving assistance. So they told me that they were each going to go down and claim medicaid for themselves...and put my name on the 'husband' line so they could all be my sister wives. At that point the two oldest told me that I wouldn't have to worry about getting them pregnant since they were already too old to have kids. Just then, the youngest (and then pregnant) one piped up and said "you don't have to worry about getting me pregnant either; I'm already knocked up."

    Needless to say, I howled. I really did. So from then on they've been known as my sister wives and I've been their 'husband.' That's kind of the in-joke in the pharmacy...if you're a wife, you get special treatment. :wink: The last two times I went on vacation I got each of them different gifts...obviously, you have to treat them equally and be fair about it. :D

    The real kicker is explaining the 'relationship' to new techs. It was tough keeping a straight face tonight when I explained "as a manager, we try to develop up close and personal relations with our pharmacy staff" to one of our newer hires. The look on her face was nothing short of priceless...

    Sadly, I'll be moving on to another job...but I'll have lots of wonderful memories. I'm seriously debating whether or not I should put up a group picture of the ladies at my new office job before laying in wait for some unsuspecting soul to ask who they are :lol:

    Eggs are round, eggs are yum
    Even though they come from a bum
    They have a goey middle and hard shell
    They also have a weird smell
    I like them scrambled and in cake
    But they are always best when they contain a snake
    So can you please send me an egg
    Come on man don't make me beg
    I need them so I don't starve
    Here's my username: lachlan_harv :D

    That username again is Lachlan_harv

    A doctor tells a guy: "I have bad news. You have Alzheimer's, and you have cancer." Guy says, "Thank God I don't have cancer."

    Cellphones are like a dog's *. You don't have to shout into them!

    Two old ladies on a park bench. Guy walks up and flashes them. One old lady had a stroke. The other couldn't quite reach that far

    Almost all serial killers are men. That's 'cause women like to kill one man slowly over many, many years.

    A couple is married for 47 years and the woman dies. At the funeral, the pallbearers swing the coffin, which hits a wall. From inside the coffin, the woman yells, "Oh, my God!" She lived another four years. She dies again. The pallbearers are swinging the coffin. The husband yells, "Watch out for the wall!"

    a man is about to go into the desert for 2 years,

    he tells his best friend -
    if i'm not back in two years
    i want you to be with my wife -
    here is the key to her chastity belt.
    his friend solemnly takes the key and bows.

    the man heads off into the desert, alone on a horse
    he is a couple miles out of town when a whirlwind of dust
    approaches him from the town he left.
    he is baffled by the unexpected tornado.

    he slows his horse and turns,
    and it is his best friend.

    "wrong key." his friend tells him.

    Every night I fall asleep whacking snakes... The game never shuts off the screen so one time my phone battery died, my alarms never went off and I was late for work. When I get there I whack snakes. Yesterday I fell asleep again and the phone fell out of my hands and whacked me in the face. So, please sir/madam.... May I have your eggs?

    P.S. oh my god, I just realized I sprayed my hair with febreeze instead of hair spray...

    Another pharmacy story...if it can win my friend some eggs and is worth a laugh, then I'll try it. Like I said, she needs them badly.

    We sell small packs of Hispanic condoms in my retail store. Don't ask why; it's part of a Hispanic health set even though we have a full selection of condoms elsewhere in the store :D Anyway, one of the pharmacy techs asked "why do we sell Mexican condoms when we have the regular ones?" The pharmacist, with a straight face, told her there was a miniature Mexican flag along the length of each condom once unfurled. She believed it and ran around telling everyone "hey, did you know there's a mini Mexican flag on the Mexican condoms?" We have fun kidding her about it now.

    Me and my little brother share an account because we are too poor to buy a new one. Each year on our birthdays we are allowed to get one set of 132 donuts. This is our only present. On Christmas we were allowed to get 60 but we were too late to get any Christmas items.

    We have 9500 eggs, if we don't get to 12500 we won't be able to get motel as we cannot afford donuts.

    Please, have a heart, donate eggs to joeaikman.

    Thank you
