A Dilemma: How to Make a Spring Egg Bomb

“Well, I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.”

~Elwood P. Dowd, from the 1950 movie “Harvey”

Production here has switched over to Spring Time and I’m sure you’ll understand that Twisted Bunny can’t carry a basket filled with jelly beans. That would be ridiculous.

My solution? It has to be either a carrot dagger, basket booby trap, or an egg bomb (an Easter Bomb-it. Hah!). I’m thinking egg bomb. Imagine the fun to be had with an Egg Bomb Hunt. Much more exciting than the hard-boiled variety, yes? To up the stakes, we could even set a timer on the egg bombs that way they’ll go off if the little dears aren’t quick enough to find them. Poof! No more long, drawn out egg hunts!

So…the dilemma is how to make an egg bomb without actually damaging anyone. I’m not thinking of making a real bomb. Great Toads of Horniness, how crazy do you think I am? Since there is no good answer to that question, I will just say this: if any Secret Service, Homeland Security, CIA etc are tuning in, not to worry. I could never work with real explosives. I’m way too clumsy for that, official-investigating-danger-and-threats type people.

My work desk. It’s all askew at the moment: desperately scribbled notes, half doodled faces, bits of spring green yarn strewn about, and partially sewn Twisted Bunnies. By the way, I created my very own Twisted Bunny template. Fingers crossed it turns out.

Back to the matter at hand…shall I just attach a fuse dealy-bob to the top of a decorated egg of some sort? Would that truly get the point across? Hmm…I suppose that could work as long as I include explicate instructions.

I’ll do my best to keep you updated. In the meantime, it’s back to work for me. No rest for the wicked or small business owners, apparently.

Note: This post is merely a tiny example of the challenges small business owners deal with on a daily basis. Or is that the weirdness I deal with on an hourly basis? I can never keep these things straight.

  1. I sincerely hope that the explosives used for the Bunny Bomb are going to be made from the creamiest most divine chocolate ever? when the bomb is set off, the fuse ignited that what we can expect is a cascade, no indeed a plethora of M&M’s, tiny eggs, fountains of chocolate, exploding out in all directions! …..sounds a bit like me after a choc fest actually!! xoxo

  2. You are killing me! I cannot wait to see what comes next. I actually like the idea of the timers on the things. Too many many years of rainy or cold Easters spent wandering around behind the little ones….

  3. I’m really forward to seeing the outcome of your bunny-eggbomb doll. I’m loving both the scribbled expressions that you may use for your Twisted Easter Bunny although I’m sure (knowing you) that an entirely different facial expression will be featured! Keep it up IK, it’s looking good so far.

  4. I watched Harvey again a few months back. A truly brilliant film and the quote you chose sums it up nicely. Jimmy Stewart was wonderful. Exploding eggs? Why not? Definitely has potential.
