The official blog of the American Chesterton Society where we talk about anything Chesterton talks about or writes about; including everything and everything else.

I've heard of monks who can write passages from the Bible on grains of rice, but I've never heard of someone who can write Chesterton quotes on eggs before.
And here I was hoping someone had painted an egg to look like Chesterton. Picture it! He would have thought that was hilarious. Last year my sister painted an egg to look like Solid Snake, from the video game Metal Gear Solid. She hid it under a box (if you are acquainted with the game, Snake, a covert soldier, often conceals himself by hiding under large cardboard boxes, which is the source of a number of gags, like mailing himself places).

Thanks for the tip, Nancy! I'm using this in Trifles. :-)

ReplyDeleteChesterton, who once said his favorite food was bacon and eggs, would have liked the gesture.

I think it would look a bit like Ben Hatke's Chesterton ornament as seen on a recent issue of the magazine...
