The Straight Dope Easter Egg Hunt!

gotpasswords I was on a gondola minding my own business when some scallywag launched a dark chocolate egg at my head from this Orange Bridge

Scallywag? There may be rascals and neer-do-wells around my egg, but no scallywags or scalawags.

And no, that is the wrong bridge.

Smam, reward yourself with a great big Double Nougat (with extra rasperry syrup); you are correct once again!

Nobody found my egg…

The orange bridge ought to be obvious to anyone that noticed my location.

The other bridge is the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge.

The actual location was inspired by the other Claes Oldenburg installations that people were hiding their eggs at. In November 2002, Cupid’s Span was installed near the SF anchorage of the Bay Bridge.

And that’s where I hid my egg. :stuck_out_tongue:

Dammit I am such an idiot, my brain must have short ircuited when I read your answer photopat .

My egg was actually hidden in Madison Square Gardens
Just to recap, Faberge is the maker of a well known (in the 70’s and 80’s at least) aftershave called Brut’.

Brut was synonimous(sp) with the heavyweight boxer Henry Cooper who did such a cheesy job advertising it, any Brits over the age of 25 should know that.

Oh well, Covent Garden was just a guess anyway. I can’t even remember now why I guessed it.

smam, my egg was indeed in the Lamington National Park, near the wreck of the Stinson.
