Mission Mission

Reader Nick and his chick have a little tale of getting more than they bargained for:

My GF and I bought a dozen “Rainbow” brand eggs at BiRite a little over a week ago. No less than 10 out of the 12 eggs have been double yolkers. It’s bonkers. We did some research and found out that such phenomena tend to happen in groups among flocks of chickens about the same age. Odds are high this wasn’t the only magic dozen sold at BiRite recently. This means the Mission is probably crawling with double yolk madness right about now.

Thanks for sharing, Nick. Anyone else eggsperiencing this phenomenon?

P.S. All that extra black space on either side of the video really gives me room to ponder my own mortality. Just kidding, it doesn’t. Don’t forget to turn your phone!

Some mystery bombadier seems to be  pelting random passerby with barrages of eggs as they make their way down Valencia approaching Pica Pica, that newish Venezuelen place across the street from Little Star.  My buddy Eric described his first encounter:

Heading home from practice, I started to notice this peculiar smell, like it was breakfast or something.  Then I saw that it was emanating from this huuuuuge pile of broken eggs on the sidewalk.  At that moment, I felt something whoosh past my face . . . sure enough, an egg.  I looked across the street to see who was throwing them, but didn’t catch anyone, so I just got out of there as fast as I could.

Then, a few days later, I’m walking down the same street and this girl about 10 paces ahead of me gets nailed out of nowhere.  I hurry up to get out of range before the ambusher can reload, but I still can’t tell where they’re coming from.  Be careful when you’re getting arepas!

Does anyone have any idea would could possibly be motivating this dairy-hurling poultry-slinging villain?  Any word on if they’re organic or cage free?
