Is it a compliment?

I've decided to add a little game to the blog to spice things up a little bit. If I could get sound, I'd even give it a theme song, but alas, we'll each have to write our own. I was inspired last night by talking with Andrew and Matt for a few minutes. Somehow the topic of our blogs came up (as if it's not dorky enough that we have them, now we talk about them with each other) and Matt said something to me that I'm not sure whether or not it is a compliment. So you tell me, here it is:

"Reading your blog is like drinking whipped egg."

That depends. Is the egg cooked?

Was he going for the Rocky Balbo raw eggs for breakfast analogy?

I think you should take offense.

Andrew said...

Belgian waffles are bad if the eggs aren't whipped properly, that's all we were going for.

Ever had an Orange Julius? Their "secret" ingredient is whipped egg white substitute. Makes for a nice, frothy experience. Yeah. I'm still not sure what to do with that.

Okay, here's the deal: Jeremy, that's a good question, I assumed it was raw, but perhaps that is incorrect. Either way, is it a compliment?

Neergaard, I can't believe you actually read this blog, you're geekier than I thought. I don't think Rocky was in mind, though perhaps on a subconscious level.

Sarah, thank you for answering the question, you may be right.

Andrew, you're full of crap (can I say that? Is this a family blog?).

Isaac, I have had an Orange Julius. Perhaps if Matt had said "reading your blog is like drinking a whipped egg white substitute" I could have taken it as a compliment. As it stands, I'm not sure what to say.

Maybe Matt will grace us with his presence and provide insight.

On another note, it amazes me to see what kind of posts garner attention. I can pour my heart out or try to give some theological musings and get nothing. I invent some stupid game because off an enigmatic compliment/insult and people show up in droves. You can bet this will make another appearance.

Water quenches thirst. Raw egg contains water. Raw egg contains a lot more than water. It sits in your gut with a weight that words can't explain. Like Danny's blog. ---> COMPLIMENT

well...then maybe i'll think twice of inviting you to the next chicken and waffles fest I'm gonna have.

danny said...

I feel a little bad that poor Matt Neave got picked on this post. I'm glad he has a sense of humor (I hope).

I'll tell you what, since you all made this first game post so special, you're parting gift is an invite to Andrew's next chicken and waffles fest. Congrats.

It's so much easier to respond to something about whipped egg than something about the eschatological status of the Jewish nation. It takes less thought. We're addicted to sound bytes!

Are they belgian waffles with properly whipped eggs?
