    If you needed our help, I'd venture to say, yes, yes we would.

    I live in Indiana, and it has not been our finest week.  I came here to escape from the RFRA sh!tstorm that the idiot politicians and wingnuts on both ends have created... this thread isn't helping too much!

    Sorry about your egg @shannonlcorum - that truly stinks!

    I don't think id cry about it at all. I've almost tipped over my large, wondered if my mini max was going to collapse my table since I left it overnight. Things happen, in life we pay a stupid/accident tax...its just the way it is. I'd chip I but you know what, truth is I have family members who could use the money just as much, they come first in my book if I'm being charitable in "some" cases.

    I'll admit that initially (I don't hang out here much nowadays) I thought the poster was a man so I was more reacting to the fact that HE was bawling but didn't want to call HIM on it outright so I used HIS/her words as the basis for my disgust. Now that I know it was a SHE and not a HE, I'm not as surprised at the bawling or the use of overly strong descriptors. So in full disclosure, I guess I take things too literally AND I'm sexist. For those of you curious if I'm annoyed at the news - the answer is yes. It's all and I mean ALL sensationalized ****. I hope the mothership helps you on your luxury item.
    No one cares about your feelings, honey. Don't be so sensitive.

    The Egg is only half-dead. Did you call the Mothership yet?
    You mean call BGE directly? I doubt it's covered under the warranty. But if you know something I dont, please share. 
    My earlier post: You never know. Yes, call directly. Tell the truth, be gracious,  have a sense of humor and tell Bruce you are devastated. Never know!

    Agree w/ @MaskedMarvel ;
    Call the Mothership (800.793.2292 press 5 for customer service), Talk to Bruce. Tell your story. Nothing to lose. My bet you are picking up a bottom tomorrow. It's right off 85 (first exit ITP) at spaghetti junction.

    Sorry to hear about your Egg. Although there is quite a few 'off-topic' posts in here, I am a bit amazed at the offers from the folks to help you out financially to get another Egg. Touching to say the least. I wouldn't mind offering to set something up for you so that you could receive donations directly if you wanted, but.......yeah. Hopefully something can be done at the Mothership and you can get back to Eggin'.

    Tootsie was a wonderful movie. It had Dustin Hoffman starting as the effervescent cross dressing actor using gender role reversal to land a job as a soap opera actress. Hilarity ensues (9/10!)

    Sorry, "dude"

    But I guess it's ok to play the "bigotry pays" card, "dude"?

    Just want to know your rules.

    I didn't open that door double quote guy.

    If you read this whole thread, I didn't inject anything controversial or off topic here, I just responded and/or mocked them.  And I didn't raise any unfounded doubts of the OP's intentions, nor jump on the group mentality bandwagon when that started rolling.

    A few years ago this forum raised $4000 for Operation BBQ Relief. Cazzy ran a great raffle. Was fun and helped some disaster victims. If we're gonna raise money, drop a $10 or $20 and send it to cazzy. I'm sure he can arrange an egg purchase over the phone. We don't have to get a 501c to help somebody out. If it a ruse.. which I don't believe it is, you're out a few dollars.

    The political bitchin does get old, weren't some of you pounding the US chest over in that proudest day thread. That's our system folks, the next guy will be just as much a joke and crook (not literal, 2 faced, double speak etc)...these days.

    @henapple, I guess you didn't lose any sleep when N. Korea built their first one in 2006 either because economic sanctions don't work, so F it, right?
