Or you can just snip a hole in the top (air cell end) of the egg and put a piece of clear tape over it. That's how it's been done for a long time.

Wow. I grew up on the Oregon coast and how it used to be illegal to be black in Oregon was definitely part of our curriculum in middle and high schools.

"Does the king of the Watusis drive an automobile? "

This made me think of shiptits, then I laughed for about 2 minutes straight because I'm on cold medicine.
