I’m pretty sure the bubble will burst now that the pandemic is over and people are going out and realize they don’t need their goat eggs anymore
Quoted from jgreene:Wtf is a goat egg?
Goats meet. Fall in love. Build a nest. Lay an egg. And sit on it until it hatches.
Where do you think goats come from ?
LTG : )
If the egg is fertilized or not could have a huge difference on value/price.
If not fertilized no matter how long you sit on it you won't get a goat.

Quoted from LTG:Rarer and more valuable are dragon eggs.
These were once sold at renaissance fairs many years ago. Long sold out.

Yeah, there are a lot of goat egg scams. Always buy your eggs from a trusted breeder. And get them evaluated by a licensed medicus capra.
Make 100% certain that your seller packs them well and marks the box "NO FORKS" as the resonance of the tines/tynes on the forklift can vibrate the eggs at just the right frequency to crack them.
Quoted from Jaybird815:I prefer my goat eggs poached.
You really should buy them like everybody else.
LTG : )
Yeah, I don't like poachers. When you see a sable queen on a ridge, her 6 eyes flashing and her probiscus fully extended while she howls at the moon, it's just so breathtaking and majestic. How could anyone poach such a creature?
I want to know the title if the next goat egg, who is the designer and code writer.
Will it ship with an incomplete code and will it move???
Quoted from jgreene:Wtf is a goat egg?
Inside joke I guess. Be careful what people offer when you are selling an IJ TPA below market price.
Quoted from golfingdad1:That doesn't look like it lays eggs....
That looks like it can lay whatever it wants whenever it wants.

Ha !!!
It's well known in some circles that there is a large overlap between some of the high end goat egg dealers and pinball players. After searching the dark web for a while, I'm pretty sure that Lady Marmalade is owned by an Englishman named Sir Myke Poppington-Hornsucker Thryce III. I can't find a picture, but a barrister once described him as a cross between Tom Selleck and Rosanne Barr, with the hairline of Danny Devito.
He famously had a feud with a former friend named Archival, which makes sense, given the text.
Trying to find more information now...

You sir are on a roll in this thread! lol Too funny. I call dibs on that dragon egg!!
I fully expected to see an image of Mr Elwin on the egg, now at least I know mine is rarer and more valuable
Some goat eggs are dimpled. It's cosmetic. The prismatic breed are all dimpled, from what I understand.

If your internal goat egg chute has speed bumps. Your goat egg gets dimples.

I wouldn't know. Sad to say, I'm not rich enough to have much experience with goat egg production. My mom once had a goat that had been removed from an unlicensed breeder. It was defanged, had the venom sac removed and she kept the disembowling dew claws filed down. I don't remember much about it, but the blight control officer told me later that memory loss is normal.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:but the blight control officer told me later that memory loss is normal.
Sadly, that is one of the risks of goat egg production.
Well worth it if you don't succumb to it. If you do get it. Doesn't matter. You won't remember it anyway.

Quoted from ThatOneDude:an Englishman named Sir Myke Poppington-Hornsucker Thryce III.
Oh, THAT guy.
Wow. Now that I'm thinking back, I once did rum shots in a dive bar near West Bay, Florida, with a guy named Archie Sorwhole. I was there on a vintage SCUBA dive meet. We met randomly and got to talking about dangerous habits, like spearfishing for shoggoth spawn off of Catalina. And, just now, I found a reference to the guy that Sir Thryce mentioned: Archival Bennings Hemmingford Sorwhole. What are the odds that that was the same guy?
Dude wore a peacoat in July in Florida. Dark hair, huge beard and big bushy eyebrows. Like he had a handlebar mustache above each eye. Missing a pinky on his left hand. Stood well over 6 feet tall. Almost drank me under the table. Luckily, my buddy Keith picked me up to head back to Destin. I'm not sure it was a good idea to be getting drunk there.
The oddest thing about it was that I could never find that bar again. And no one in town remembered it when I asked around. I must have drank a lot!
Quoted from ThatOneDude:What are the odds that that was the same guy?
They are the same guy. Both were buddies with O.D. Cleaver. Though O.D. was a cowboy. He didn't go in for shoggoth spawn no matter how good they tasted.
LTG : )

Oh, was he the dude in that one picture on the horse? If so, I really dug that saddle. So freaking metal, man! Just lined with skulls!
Actually, now that I think about it, that was over a dozen skulls on the side of the saddle. How big was that horse?
Quoted from LTG:Pretty big. I'd guess at least 18 hands.
Oh, maybe it was a retired British police horse. One of the Enhanced-Mobility Operational Capability Upgrade Mounts I heard about.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Oh, maybe it was a retired British police horse. One of the Enhanced-Mobility Operational Capability Upgrade Mounts I heard about.
Or a short Clydesdale. Who has short horse syndrome.

Quoted from ThatOneDude:the eyes were well done.
Extremely accurate.
Hooves are rendered good too.

It's been a weird weekend. I tried to get in contact with that diving buddy, Keith, that I mentioned. I met him on a vintage scuba website(vintage doublehose maybe? Might have been vintage scuba supply's forum). Anyway, we talked for years, then lost touch. I just tried to contact him to see if he remembered that bar where I met Archival. But I don't have any emails from him anymore. Or contacts. His account isn't on any of the forums. I even tried calling the shop where he worked, and no one knows who he is.
There is some strangeness swirling around these people.

It's goat egg gate all over again.
The man's keeping us down.

Eh, I might just be getting old! The more I think about it, the more things I can remember about that bar. The way it smelled, the bartender who made Marty Feldman's eyes look normal. An old Polybius arcade game in the corner(which didn't match the rest of the decor, but then kinda did) which this short dude played the whole time, without even looking around. But this is the part that messed me up this morning. I can also remember stopping by that spot, not going into any bar and driving back to the motel. I had a nightmare about that last night.
I was there because I used to live in that town, back when the old draw bridge was still up. So I stopped at the waterfront to walk along the part of the old bridge that is still there. You can still the old bridge in maps: 30.294547412663118, -85.85794594880372
Too much liquor, man.
Anyway, one of you jokers must have my number, because someone left a voicemail on my phone. Mostly static, but someone mumbled something about eggs. If the phone number wasn't unknown, I would have called back.
