This blowhard Dutchwoman is participating in an after-dinner sport called Eieren Blazen, or egg-blowing, the antidote for a meal rich in beef and potatoes. Amsterdam egg-blowers spent the evening, sitting on their hands and blowing toward the goal. Think you might fall into gluttonous sin tonight? No problem. We can burn off those calories. Simply fetch an empty eggshell, a billiard table with two goal nets, a dozen pals, and away we go.
I know it sounds farfetched, but could that be Morey Amsterdam actually IN AMSTERDAM, bug-eyed and diminutive in the cardigan?

If I were a woman, I honestly wouldn’t want the title of “Egg Blowing Champion.”

Not at all. Whether it’s blowing her own eggs or someone else’s, it sounds wrong. Maybe just take the “egg” off and the suitors will come running.

Oh that is an unfortunate coincidence. Just wanted to be different, cause everyone says Jesus *** Christ all the time and that’s really not fair to Jesus, cause he had nothing to do with whatever, and I bet he looks down to us and thinks, “Stop with this *** already, my ears are burning!” You’re welcome Jesus.

I see. Well, I agree that it is better to say Jerry Crisp then, for sure.

Eating lots of egg dishes and saving the shells, evidently.

I could make a killing selling breath mints before the games begin. Oh, and that first egg looks suspiciously like a cue ball. Just sayin’.

I don’t think it’s an empty egg, Kerbey. One, the shell would be cracked. Two, even if the emptied it very carefully, with a pinhole or some such slow method, it would be too light and would blow all over the dang table. No, I think this lady was a hard-boiled egg- blowing champion. Worse or better for her reputation?

That’s what the article said, but it sure doesn’t look like it, does it? Blowing a hard-boiled egg would be impossible, though!
