One Thing to do With Your Extra Easter Eggs

K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid! What a great and easy use for those useless little things. I'll have to wait till spring when Mum gets them back down from the attic.

why don't u just get them down your self???

Because they're buried under ungodly amounts of stuff.  Trust me, you don't want to go into our attic without getting a ton of stuff out, too.

um yes wires a jack and the head phone bulb can resemble a wiring for a small bomb the TSA looks for anything with wires in it, around it or attached to it, i am not here to criticize just to forewarn

nice, if you cut a hole in the egg you could push more wire in/pull it out to shorten.lenghthen the earphone wire.

There is a store in my neighborhood I go to often because it is cheap. It has dated stuff that is good but out of season, and they just put out a bunch of M&M Easter Eggs. I have eaten the M&Ms out of a dozen so far.

What is an airline adapter?
Jul 6, 2008. 3:19 PMJellyWoo says:
i thought airlines only used 1 jack.
Sep 22, 2008. 6:07 PMmettaurlover says:
well, NOW they do.

Just an Idea: It might look a bit ridiculous, but how about running the headphone jack through a hole in the bottom of the egg? That way, You just have to pop it open and put in the headphones.

I'm liking the red, do you prefer that generation ipod nano to the first generation ipod nano?
