imagine you break into elton's house. you run into his kitchen barefoot and rifle through his fridge until you find the eggs. you grab exactly 8 and run out of the house again, your feet slapping against the tile floors. but as you are making your great escape elton appears in a window and calls out to you. you stop and look up at him to see he has an entire carton of eggs.
"nice try motherfucker." he shouts and starts pelting you with the eggs. you pelt him back but the eggs don't reach that high. you turn into an egg monster and spend the rest of your life in solitude, plotting your revenge.
