Egg Day, Repeat Day

Today is all about the incredible, edible egg!  Wild fowl were domesticated as early as 3200 B.C. Egyptian and Chinese records show that fowl were laying eggs for man in 1400 B.C. Europe has had domesticated hens since 600 B.C. There is some evidence of native fowl in the Americas prior to Columbus’ arrival. However, it is believed that, on his second trip in 1493, Columbus’ ships carried to the New World the first of the chickens. Nearly 200 breeds and varieties of chickens have been established worldwide. Most laying hens in the U.S. are Single-Comb White Leghorns.

Egg Day, Repeat Day

Did you know that today is Repeat Day? Did you know that today is Repeat Day? Why am I repeating myself? Well, because today is Repeat Day. If I told you once, I told you three times! Watch a favorite movie twice, have a second donut, or call a family member, and then hang up and call them back . . . and start the same conversation with them all over again. Torturing family members is always a fun way to celebrate any holiday.

♥~ 1888 – There was no joy in Mudville this day, as Casey at the Bat was first published in The San Francisco Examiner. The author was not given a byline in the paper, but he was given $5. Ernest Thayer wrote a series of comic ballads for the San Francisco paper. Casey at the Bat was the last, and the only one to live on through the years. William DeWolf Hopper,  first recited the poem at Wallach’s Theatre in New York City and then did it again It some 10,000 plus times.

♥~ 1937 – Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson of Baltimore, MD, the woman who was the cause of King Edward VIII’s abdication of the British throne, was married  to the former King (The Duke of Windsor). This was the storybook romance; the king in love with the commoner gives up his throne to spend the rest of his life with the woman he loves. They lived happily ever after … in France.

♥~ 1948 – Korczak Ziolkowski began his sculpture of Crazy Horse near Mt. Rushmore.

♥~ 1998 – An 87-foot memorial to Crazy Horse, sculpted into rock near Custer in the South Dakota Black Hills by Korczak Ziolkowski, was dedicated after 50 years of work.

♥~ 2001 – Antony Larose of Windsor, England, got a moth trapped in his ear while trying to rescue a cat from under a bush. He said the pain from beating of the moth’s wings against his eardrum was excruciating. It was eventually removed at a hospital. He said, “The noise was unimaginable.”

★~ Good to Know: Tuesday Giggle 

smile

A husband went to the police station to file a “missing person” report for his missing wife. The following conversation took place.

Husband. I lost my wife, she went shopping and hasn’t come back yet.

Policeman. What is her height?

Husband. I never checked.

Policeman. Slim or fat?

Husband. Not slim, not fat.

Policeman. Colour of eyes?

Husband. Never noticed.

Policeman. Colour of hair?

Husband. Changes according to season.

Policeman. What was she wearing?

Husband. Not sure whether it was a dress or a suit.

Policeman. Was she driving?

Husband. Yes.

Policeman. Colour of the car?

Husband. Black Audi A8 with supercharged 3.0 litre V6 engine generating 333 horse power teamed with an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. And it has full LED headlights, which use light emitting diodes for all light functions and has a very thin scratch on the front left door , and then the husband started crying.

Policeman. Don’t worry sir, we will find your car!!..

I am going to hit publish really quick before something else steps in front of me and keeps me from finishing El Morno which has now turned into El Bruncho. Wishing everyone a terrific Tuesday!

If it makes you smile, giggle or laugh…Do it again! It’s Repeat Day!

  1. I wonder who the very first person to try eating an egg was! I mean, who’d have thought those things would be edible in the first place??

    That poor author was given $5 and no byline?? Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Not much has changed, sadly.

    Love the photo of the grinning sheep. Look at his teefies!!

    • Debbie. It’s could be a sheep. But it’s a camel. He has very fine teefies tho!! I’ll label from now on!
      Good question about the eggs! I have no idea.

  2. I like eggs. Don’t have them very often though. Nik would have them mixed in with her food until the vet guessed she may be allergic to them. Hope not.
    There’s been nothing about today that I’d care to repeat. Perhaps later something will happen worth repeating!
    Good afternoon!
