I will never put egg salad in my mouth, well at least not for free.


New York Post Weird But True March 5, 2009

It's hard to imagine what's arousing about rotten eggs.
A group of Italian researchers say that the chemical that makes rotten eggs stink so bad - hydrogen sulfide - also stimulates arousal areas in men's brains and could be used in place of Viagra.
"[It] represents a new therapeutic target for erectile dysfunction," they found.

The findings are in dispute. A law professor from the University of Wisconsin has started a class action suit to prohibit the association of eggs and sexuality. Specifically egg salad and sexuality. The noted femmist professor said "Egg salad must once and for all be disassociated from sexuality for the good of all man kind."

This stance has severely dissappointed several men in suburban Wisconsin who have been basting their members in vats of egg salad in hopes of helping with their erectile dysfunction.

New York Post Weird But True March 5, 2009

I'd like to debunk or fisk that link. Italians haven't done real science since Fermi. Please provide.

Trooper York said...

Just goggle weird but true New York Post and you will go right to todays stuff.

Darcy said...

Ok...I will not ask why egg salad seems like a euphemism here. Huh uh. I am staying away from that. :)

I do like egg salad, however. The real thing pictured here. Looks yummy!

Ruth Anne Adams said...

Darcy: Some background, but not because you asked or anything. It may have been before your time.

Darcy said...

LOL! Thanks, Ruth Anne.

Althouse is a gem.

Michael Haz said...

Did you notice on Althouse's posting today the the walls in the room in her photo were egg salad yellow? What's up with that.

And that photo Trooper put up is not egg salad. I enlarged ti and it's some kind of tofu mustardey egg salad wanna be stuff.

Asante Samuel said...

On the other hand, it's hard(heh) to imagine any male Wisconsinoids having a male member large enough to require a fucking vat of anything in which to baste. Not enough surface area, so to speak. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Darcy said...

Hmm...still looks delicious to me, Michael H. And by the way...were you implying some kind of poll hijinks in the past on another thread?

Careful. You don't want to be sleeping with the knishes. ;-)

Ann Althouse said...

I have another egg story to tell... Thanks for giving me the incentive to go through with it. And for using a picture of egg salad that really brings out how appalling the substance truly is.

But why didn't I get a tag?

blake said...

Uh oh. Troop's busted!

It's retaliation for taking him off the blog roll!

Oh, the scorched earth!

Michael Haz said...

But why didn't I get a tag?

Okay. YOU'RE IT!! *runs away*

Michael Haz said...

Careful. You don't want to be sleeping with the knishes. ;-)

I ain't 'fraid of no knishes. The knishes got nothin'. No game. Lookit the poll. Bupkus.

Trooper York said...

Well I can't tag you all the time.
Plus this is really only for people who are in the know, you know. If some stay dickweed comes by from Boringheads we don't want him to know what we know. Do we?

But I will be glad to give you a tag.

Trooper York said...

Plus I knew being listed four times was way too good to be true for too long.

I think the blog roll just got a little scrambled there and it was an understandable oversight.

chickelit said...

...nothing, but I laughed at the "Althouse Channeling Garage Mahal tag".

Hoosier Daddy said...

I love egg salad. In fact I have some in the fridge right now.

Darcy said...

Oh, you sound pretty confident, Michael H! ;-) I'll say it again: Beware the knishes!

And yay! Hoosier Daddy's here to set things straight.

Hoosier Daddy said...

My favorite egg salad recipe is:

4 hardboiled eggs (naturally)
Mayo, the regular stuff not that fat free shit. The amount you use depends on your personal taste.
1 bunch of green onions chopped.

Then the key here are your condiments. I go with the following.

2 tablespoons of horseradish mustard
3 dashes of paprika
3-4 dashes of pepper, I prefer fresh ground myself
1 dash of generic seasoning, I always go with Mrs. Dash.

Basically season to taste cause that's the key. Work with it, don't go crazy you can always add but you can't take away. Then fridge for a few hours and eat right outa the bowel or on toast (my favorite).

Curtiss said...

There's only one thing worse than an egg salad sandwich: deviled eggs.

Ann Althouse said...

"Well I can't tag you all the time."

So you admit all your posts are about me?

Darcy said...

Sounds delish, Hoosier Daddy. I like the horseradish idea. No celery salt?

Mmmm...deviled eggs.

I get so hungry reading this blog!

chickelit said...

You're so wrong Curtiss. Deviled eggs rock!

Curtiss said...

De gustibus non est disputandum.

Curtiss said...

"Then fridge for a few hours and eat right outa the bowel or on toast (my favorite)."

Got this recipe from Titus, did you?

I will not dispute your windy bus. I will instead respond:

de gustibus aut bene, aut nihil

or, translated:

"the windy bus, out of goodness, out of nought."

(Theme from an imaginary western Althouse road trip)

Michael Haz said...

Beware the knishes!

You're probably right, Darcy. The Ides of Knish is rapidly approaching. You may have seen the story in that great classic film, The Night of The Living Knish, which was the first major movie filmed entirely in Knishicolor.

Trooper York said...

You got me professor. Especially the ones about monkeys.

Darcy said...

Hee hee, Michael H. I could be wrong, but I am prediction a surge in the popularity of the knish.

Curtiss said...

chickenlittle:

Notwithstanding your Latin License, I'm afraid the egg salad, the deviled eggs and the knishes have all been conicio sub carrucha.

Darcy said...

Mean, Curtiss! :)

Curtiss said...

Darcy, don't worry.

What do I know. I voted for Ice Cream.

And I only voted one time, too!

Darcy said...

Good point, Curtiss. We both picked losers. Wonder what Ruth Anne voted for?

chickelit said...

We're all losers then. I voted for pizza.

Darcy said...

Trooper needs to open up a "Loser's Lounge" where we can sing sad songs and lament our polling losses, chickenlittle.

Karaoke! LOL.

SOFTER THAN AN APPLE PIE-
Yes that’s what impotence is all about. Some of us just can’t get it up, OR- If we can, then it just don’t stay up there long enough for our partners to mount a decent attack. Yes, we have tried the blue pills, but less than 50% of us have any joy with those, so imagine how that feels. Still not getting a decent stiffy when taking the supposed wonder drug. The answer is about as low as the belly of a sausage dog.
Fortunately there are alternatives and if you are lucky someone has already told you about HealthyED pills. If not then get yourself off to their site and buy some pronto fellas. These pills are clinically proven to improve sexual function in over 80% of all men that take them. They work on the body in the same ways as the major chemical blue pills but as they are natural there are no side effects and better results. The full clinical trial is online along with information about how and why HealthyED works so well is all on their internet site.
Just call me bigboy.

Trooper York said...

That's how Steve Douglas ended up with "My Three Sons."

Now you know the rest of the story.

Darcy said...

LOL, Trooper.

Curtiss said...

O.K., I might give Mr. Ed some HeathyEd. But I better not end up with a 4-hour Apple Pie.

Michael Haz said...

StevenDouglas - We don't need any stimulation, thanks. We've got Darcy, which is waaaay better than your overpriced crap.

chickelit said...

We've got Darcy, which is waaaay better than your overpriced crap.

What's this "we" business pal. I'm not into that kind of sharing.

Michael Haz said...

@Chickelit - in the metaphorical sense. In the sense of Darcy being a very nice woman who is fun to hang out with in blogworld and twitterworld.

For those who have met her in realworld, I have no doubt it's even better.

Michael Haz said...

May I suggest a poll of the best Althouse photos?

Memorable classics, such as:

Shoes and sox.
Ann standing on rocks.
Ann doodles poodles.
A meal with noodles.
My two sons.
The creek runs.
My car looks fast.
Pictures of my past.
Pictures of trees.
Ann's legs below the knees.
Travels with Ann.
A day with a plan.
Some guy I met.
A meal I et.

Darcy said...

Michael H! What a nice thing to say. Thank you.

*hugs* to both you and chickenlittle. Charmers. ;-)

chickelit said...

Hey Michael, I wasn't meaning no disrespect for the lady- I hope you know that.

Curtiss: Your avatar has me real intrigued. Which family do you or did you work for?
See I used to work for one of the families (really the only family) in Madison. They were real nice to me and took me in even though I wasn't one of them. Gave me a job. I've always been grateful. I promised I'd tell Althouse a story about it if she finds a certain marker.

Michael Haz said...

Chickenlittle - The idea of disrespect never crossed my mind. Don't see you as that kind of a guy.

Darcy said...

Never crossed my mind either, chickenlittle!
