Ha, the PlayStation IG controller reveal has over 4M likes. -- nm - Shaun Apr 8, 05:45
Spawn, do you have your 400k hat ready? -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 05:44 1

Do you put eggs in your mac and cheese? Also, this woman put two dozen eggs in hers... -- (link) - Krusty Apr 8, 05:42 14
- that's a souffle at that point. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 06:04
- Everyone's focussing on the eggs, but she's pouring a can of condensed milk in there like it's normal. -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 05:52 2
  - I took it as a replacement for regular milk so it didn't bother me as much. Odd but it's still not two dozen eggs! -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 05:56
  - for that extra touch of health -- nm - prayformojo Apr 8, 05:53
- I mean I don’t, but it’s a binder. Plus looks like she’s making it for about 20 people. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 05:50 2

    - Makes the mac and cheese better, but feels like it makes the lobster worse. -- nm - mafic Apr 8, 05:51 1
      - This is correct. Even though M&C can be awesome, you are really slumming it for the lobster by adding it to it. Eat lobster on its own... -- (edited) - Shaun Apr 8, 05:57
