Does anyone know how long it will take for the urge to click on little colored spots on any and every website to go away?


Hahaha. Me too! Last night I kept clicking on the Firefox symbol over and over again expecting something to happen .... The hunt was a lot of fun. I do remember getting a bit frustrated by it at one point as I initially thought that the eggs would be scattered at random throughout the site and all we'd have to do is browse to them. Not actually THINK! I got over that though and my favourite part was when I misguidedly replaced all key words in the title of most of E.E Cumming's poems with the word egg/s. I had tears running down my face I was laughing so hard at the seemingly very pertinent (to this hunt) titles. Especially the 'Dying is fine but eggs' and 'Egg is like a perhaps hand'. I'd never heard of E.E Cummings before but I'll never forget him now :D I'll post them here again ...


Eggs and Chimneys
I carry your egg with me
A man who had fallen among eggs
All in eggs
anyone lived in a pretty egg town
a total egg one black day
as eggs is a breakfast food (that sounds like it might have something to it)
Ballad of the Egg's Lament
when what eggs stopping earth silent is
An egg out
between the eggs
Buffalo Egg
Buy me an goose and I'll sell you an egg
Egglion
gee i like to think of eggs
eggs are the cause of more disorders (can't disagree with that one ATM)
Eggs I love you
dying is fine but eggs
here is little Eggie's head
Egg speaks
i am a little egg
i go to this egg
i shall imagine eggs
i sing of eggs glad and big
If I should sleep with an egg called Death
if you like my eggs let them
if there are any eggs my mother
in the middle of an egg
in spite of eggs
into the strenuous egginess
lily has an egg
Little Egg
love is an egg
my egg moved through dooms of love
my egg is building a building
nobody loses all the eggs (ha!)
you shall be above all eggs
now does our egg descend
Egg is like a perhaps hand (too right!)
the Cambridge ladies who live in furnished eggs
the way to hump a egg is not (?!?!?!?)
Egg omnipotent goddess Thou
there are so many eggs (humph!)
this is the garden:eggs come and go (you bet)
Tumbling-egg
when eggs bargain
Wheres egg then (indeed)
When faces called eggs float out of the ground (yep- pretty much getting that way)
who sharpens every egg
when g-d lets my egg be
up into the silence the egg
warped this egg (well someone is)
yes is a pleasant egg
your little egg

WOW - I don't get how

"It's been used and abused"

and
This was referring to the Konami Code, arguably the most popular 'cheat code' of all time.

even has a remote connection. :D

Am I missing something?

CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

It is a bit curious because, according to the video, you only enter the code after clicking "start" on the homepage, clicking on 'our software' and then "Direct FTP". Then you entered the code. Did it actually flash up on the screen like it did in the video because I'm pretty sure I took that route to the Direct FTP page at least several times.

Jo Ann: Maybe he's used and abused ... it or himself :P Just kidding ..:lol:

I dont get how Vinnie said it was on the left side and very small but in the video you had to enter a code and the large golden egg appeared in the top right corner. Doesn't correlate!

This hunt was so much fun, and I bought the blue and beige egg software, it's wonderful. However, one bad thing: WITHDRAWAL SEASON!!! it's just like the withdrawal of Sundays without football games when the NFL has disappeared. I *so* miss seeing the little eggs, it was just fun to find the claimed ones! Thanks a lot, I can now sleep at night!

In my opinion this contest was too hard for the grand prize. But I guess if a person has nothing better to do than do this all week then its for them.

Still it was a cool contest

Hi guys. I had to get some sleep and then my ISP had a major outage this morning. You seriously don't need to split it with me Vinnie but ,if you want to, you can give 'my' share to Mike's MS pledge campaign since he wanted it so badly for that. I don't know how you'd do that since you don't seem to be able to pledge directly online.I wouldn't mind a copy of VSD though guys :P I did buy an e-commerce pack (those were the eggs I was searching for after the super packs) so have been having fun trying to figure those programs out whilst waiting to get online again. Now all I need is a website! :lol:


HEY MIRIAM........... You and Vinnie won fair and sqaure. Vinnie was nice enough to share the prize with you. You keep what you got. Okay !!!! Enjoy your prize !! :cool: Hope you and Vinnie don't spend it all in one day. he-he-he-he-he-he!!! :lol::lol::lol: Hope we all can become friends though. It does say "WARM PEOPLE" here in coffeecup.com.

I should keep the golden egg behind my avatar. What do you folks think??? > CoffeeCup Ambassador

Jo Ann - Before I start, I'm not picking on you or picking a fight... Just thought your one liner was the easiest to quote...

The Konami code has got to be THE MOST USED AND ABUSED code in all code. I've seen it on several dozen games, on various game systems, and PC programs over the years. Granted, I didn't get it when I read through the first time, but then again, I've been driving for 10 hours in 35-40 mph winds (mostly crosswinds) while pulling a U-Haul.

As to being on that page... I'm sure MANY of us were there, I know I was several times and I wasn't even actively searching.

And with that... CONGRATULATIONS to this years winner, enjoy your winnings, whatever you wish to do with them. Hope CC does something like this again for those who enjoyed it. To those who didn't: Don't bother playing next time :D It's as simple as that. Living the dream, stocking the cream :D

Well I'd be lying if I said I ever even heard of it let alone would have even thought to google that misuse and abuse phrase which made absolutely no sense to me. I'll leave it at that since it doesn't really make me feel good about it. Jo Ann
