Definitely. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs, and I think that recipe is good to go.

Nice to see you again, Az. While we obviously aren't all around all the time, it is an odd feeling when you don't manage to come around at all.

From BBC news, linked in the wiki article above:
'Stoned wallabies make crop circles'
Wallabies have been observed acting strangely in poppy fields
Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around "as high as a kite", a government official has said.
Lara Giddings, the attorney general for the island state of Tasmania, said the kangaroo-like marsupials were getting into poppy fields grown for medicine.
She was reporting to a parliamentary hearing on security for poppy crops.
Australia supplies about 50% of the world's legally-grown opium used to make morphine and other painkillers.
"The one interesting bit that I found recently in one of my briefs on the poppy industry was that we have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," Lara Giddings told the hearing.
"Then they crash," she added. "We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."
Rick Rockliff, a spokesman for poppy producer Tasmanian Alkaloids, said the wallaby incursions were not very common, but other animals had also been spotted in the poppy fields acting unusually.
"There have been many stories about sheep that have eaten some of the poppies after harvesting and they all walk around in circles," he added.
Retired Tasmanian poppy farmer Lyndley Chopping also said he had seen strange behaviour from wallabies in his fields.
"They would just come and eat some poppies and they would go away," he told ABC News.
"They'd come back again and they would do their circle work in the paddock."
Some people believe the mysterious circles that appear in fields in a number of countries are created by aliens. Others put them down to a human hoax.

Wallabies is the far more preferable answer.

Re: Just...................whatever [5]
Thankyou very kindly everyone for the "welcomes"
I went for a job interview as a blacksmith yesterday. He said, "Have you ever shoed a horse?"
I said, "No, but I've told a donkey to fuck off."

I was just reading that too. The comments at the end are incredible. These are just a sampler:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8118257.stm
I have seen a stoned wallaby but I don't know about them making crop circles. The one I saw was slurring his words and asking me for a dollar as he was trying to get the boat to see his brother in New Zealand - he looked in no mood to be formulating a series of complex agricultural design patterns. I could be wrong - they might have masterminded the twin tower attacks, who really knows?
Dijon, Hobart, Tasmania
I was travelling in Tasmania in the summer of last year and witnessed what I believed as dancing wallabies. I was intoxicated at the time and so put it down to the poppies I had consumed earlier that day. However after reading this article that experience made a lot of sense.
Alan Rees , Tring
I want to know who sold out the wallabies? Who's the narc? My guess is the platypus, he is such an odd duck.

Re: Just...................whatever [5]
Once, a man found an eagle’s egg and decided to place it into the nest of a prairie chicken. Eventually, the egg hatched along with the rest of the chicken’s eggs, and the mother chicken began raising the baby eagle as her own.
For years, the young eagle, convinced it was a prairie chicken, did exactly as its “siblings” did. He scratched in the dirt for worms; he copied their clucking; he never flew more than a few feet off the ground.
Eventually, the eagle, now very old, saw a great bird flying far above him in the blue and cloudless sky. Soaring with majesty and grace, the glorious bird had the eagle spellbound.
The eagle turned to one of its siblings, scratching in the dirt nearby. “What an amazing bird!” the eagle said. “What is it?”
The sibling clucked, “An eagle, king of all the birds. But don’t worry about it. He has nothing to do with us. Just be happy where you are.”
The eagle, believing his sibling to be wise, immediately put the majestic bird out of his head, never thinking of it again for the rest of his days.
The eagle died, still thinking it was a prairie chicken.

Re: Just...................whatever [5]
it is sad but its also a warning if you like. it means never give up your dreams, always be true to yourself no matter what, and NEVER let anyone tell you to settle. I got that story from the results of a fascinating personality test which is the most weirdly accurate one I have ever taken. I have a theory that most people on this forum would be from one particular personality on this test and it would explain a lot about this forum. but its just a theory and everyone would have to take the test first, being as honest as possible.

Re: Just...................whatever [5]
that was a quick test but, a lengthy conclusion mine said INFS ? most of it was spot on about me but, was it generalising ? Im gonna do the test again & pretend Im someone else Its like Astrology, they say a Taurus person is like this & a Gemini person is like that but, as we are the same species surely there cant be that much of a difference between us ? I think you can place people in certain "groups" as how many combinations can Humans have ? same as any other animal ? How many personality traits can Bears or Rabbits have ? the odd ones would be the villains of society, murders, paedos etc, they are mentally wired up wrong. Fun game tho !

Re: Just...................whatever [5]
I got more annoyed than sad. Why is the eagle better than the desert chicken? Why pity the chicken-eagle because it speaks and lives with the chickens rather than hunting and eating them? Should everybody lust for power and greatness? Why is looking down at others better and more worthy than getting your beak dirty? Should all dreams and aspirations be followed, period? Is the chicken brother a lesser being for being satisfied with his life?

Re: Just...................whatever [5]
Finrod is watching some Nat Geo(?) documentary about some guy trying to find Noa's arc, so I keep getting a overly heroic and -dramatic soundtrack when replying to the personality test. Not sure if that's good or bad.
Can't say I agree with all of this stuff, but some of it is spot on. And having unanswered emails is not the same as having a cluttered inbox!
Personality: INFJ ("The Advocate")
Variant: Turbulent
Role: Diplomat
Famous INFJs
Martin Luther King
Nelson Mandela
Mother Teresa
Nicole Kidman
Jimmy Carter
Mel Gibson
Goethe
“James Wilson” from House M.D.
Yeah, no pressure there then! But I do love Wilson.
Edit: It does seem that Figgy and my response to the chicken/Eagle story are quite within our personality types.

Your Results
PERSONALITY: INTP ("THE LOGICIAN")
VARIANT: TURBULENT
ROLE: ANALYST
I keep getting that result in these tests. Who knows, maybe there's something to it.
Famous INTPs
Socrates Rene Descartes Blaise Pascal Isaac Newton Carl Jung Albert Einstein James Madison Dwight D. Eisenhower Gerald Ford
I wonder if all these people took the test too? Although it's interesting to see the person who came up with the test originally in my group.
