Itlog, Manoy , Orange!

If you are Cebuano, you would definitely know what "itlog, Manoy, Orange!" means. This phrase is so commonly heard from food vendors. When riding a bus to the province, there are necessary stopovers which will often have the food hawkers advertise their wares simultaneously shoving them into your faces.

For those with confused conjugations, or have a muddled mind, it is presumed that a person's yard balls are a reddish yellow. (Probably from hours of tight sitting--you know how buses can be so crowded during the holidays).

So now why am I talking about eggs and orange. It's because Easter is a time for eggs..and lots and lots of it...First of all, what's with hiding them, and then letting little children look for it? Second, what's coloring the eggs got to do with it? And third, don't they know that eggs cost so much nowadays, don't they think of those poor chickens that have to push their embryos out so humans can have fun? What's with you people??! Oh yes, and do you really end up eating those eggs you find after it has been crushed and probably peed on by dogs.....Eating all those eggs you find will cause a GAS-tronishing catastrophe which equals that of eating the musical fruit....(pinch nose)...pheeew!

Okay, so before I get carried away, here's my Easter contribution for the day...




breakfast fare for my grandchildren....and the title of my article.
(check out the hair--groovy fried quail's egg)

Finally, there is this argument about which came first, the bird or the egg?
My take on this is that they came together when creation was made--they came
in between Adam's legs!!!!
Now my question is, was Adam Cuacasian or Asian!




unsa man dong! Itlog Manoy Orange?
