It’s okay, I brought the mortar and pestle – just hold one still, and I’ll slice a bit off and grind it up. Freshly ground whore is much better than the dried powdered stuff, anyway.
You’re late to the picnic. I hope your Steve and Mike are already precooked. Quick get them into the boiling pond along with everything else. We have been waiting for days for you to respond. Didn’t you get the invitation?
Indeed. The one I visited in the south of Thailand, they actually had little stone containers that was filled with the hot spring water for you to boil your eggs, so people wouldn’t do it -in- the spring.
Spa boiled eggs are actually a delicacy in some asian countires. I think the real FAIL is the poster who was (presumably) in one of such countries and obviously didn’t bother or manage to learn about the culture of said countries. Maybe that’s a little judgmental of me, but I’d think someone whose gonna put something online for other people to laugh at would at least bother to ask or check, as to make sure it wasn’t his/her misunderstanding.
It’s ok to make fun of another culture’s inability to grasp English sentence construction. It’s ok to laugh at the fact that some people have trouble pronouncing their “L”‘s. I can infer this from the fact that you browsed this site rather than just closed the window in disgust.
But make fun of how another culture cooks their food–you’re going to hell!
I don’t get what’s wrong. It’s a hot spring and it’s very common to drop a bag with a couple of eggs in there, take a soak in a cooler spring and return to eat fresh boiled eggs. If it’s simply because it says “No” instead of “Don’t” that’s not funny enough for this site.
There could be various metal contaminants in this particular spring that are detrimental to humans. Or the area could be inhabited by a rampaging slavering carnivorous giant chicken that charges out of the shrubbery the minute it sees someone drop eggs into the water, shouting “Don’t you boil my children!” before it pecks the would-be egg boilers to death and throws them into the spring. That’s probably the reason, because of the vengeful giant rampaging chicken, this spring is in fact a well-simmered pool of cream of human soup.
For want of an ing, the egg was lost. For want of an egg, the meat was lost. For want of the meat, the survivor was lost. For want of a survivor, the show was lost. No boil rerun.
Should I take a dip in the boiling pond as punishment? Wait, I don’t think I can because then my ovaries will boil and I don’t think they allow that here.
Hey, I have done weekend hikes with a few fresh eggs in my pack any number of times. Fresh eggs for breakfast, along with some whole wheat toast and coffee, beats choking down an “energy bar” first thing in the morning.
I can see where it might be a problem in a tropical country, though, unless you kept them in a large thermos with ice water.
As far as the penalty…as I have advised my son who is attending school in Nanjing: when you are in a foreign country, you just DO NOT BREAK THE LAW. Ever.
They have places where you can boil eggs all over Thailand. Not sure where this one is but others have mentioned they’ve seen them in the south. They also have them in Chiang Mai in the north.
So, like others . . . I don’t really see what’s so funny about this one.
Ooh! Ooh! I knoes, I knoes!
The pit is a sulfur hotsprings. In asian countries, eggs boiled in them are supposed to give you longer life for each one you eat. The only thing is, if people don’t do it properly, they can get sulfur burns. Very nasty. The sign is probably a very terse way of preventing people from getting said burns in exchange for a black egg. (the sulfur reacts with the shell and the albumen, colouring it black) In any case, black eggs taste funky.

You are hereby pronounced a Troll.
yay!
can it be poached?
It’s ok. I didn’t pack any eggs on my trip. I did bring Dave. Can I boil him here?
And what about Steve?
I think Steve was with Meowth, so maybe he’ll bring him.
i’ll get the Weird sauce!!
Did anybody, pack extra whore dust? There’s some around, but not in powder form.
It’s okay, I brought the mortar and pestle – just hold one still, and I’ll slice a bit off and grind it up. Freshly ground whore is much better than the dried powdered stuff, anyway.
and don’t forget the monkey gland sauce!
And no meal will ever be complete from now on without curry egg horse shoe crap with pineapple.
Let’s see,
We have some curry egg, horse shoe and pineapple. Does anybody have any crap?
Wait, I remember JohnB saying that you haven’t had crap until you’ve taken it from him. This must mean that he makes really good crap.
John, if you will do us the favor. Please deposit your crap in the boiling water.
No boil crap.
If you don’t want us to boil it, then I guess we can garnish the dish with fresh crap.
You have to get the crap out of the horse shoe. That is why it is horse shoe crap. I do have the Steve, though, and some Mike.
You’re late to the picnic. I hope your Steve and Mike are already precooked. Quick get them into the boiling pond along with everything else. We have been waiting for days for you to respond. Didn’t you get the invitation?
Sorry I’m late. I was stuck in traffic. They are Steve / Dave cold cuts fresh from the Deli. Here, have a glass of Mike.
And Let’s put some stone crab in there too!
yes boil some dave do you want veg with that?
It’s because you’re allowed to boil eggs at the hot springs. I guess you’re not allowed to do it at this one, hence the sign.
I was thinking it was a hot spring. It wouldn’t make sense for a pond to have anything to do with eggs…
Indeed. The one I visited in the south of Thailand, they actually had little stone containers that was filled with the hot spring water for you to boil your eggs, so people wouldn’t do it -in- the spring.
DO NOT GO IN YOU WILL BE BOILED!
Only if you fall in.
poor steve!

Seriously? OK, let me get this right…

The only FAIL here is your hypocrisy.
Yeah, I think this means exactly what it says. Lots of people around the world apparently use hot springs and seismic thermal areas to boil eggs.
And what’s wrong with that?
The writing looks Thai. There is at least one hot springs in southern Thailand where they sell raw eggs so tourists can boil them.
yup. it’s thai. it just says “don’t boil eggs”
In the “Harvest Moon” games, some of the girls/boys absolutely love eggs boiled in the hot springs.
Not that that’s got anything to do with this, I was just feeling waffy at the discussion of hot spring eggs
The hot springs may be curative if the eggs are sick.

But I just killed the cluckatrice last week!
Maybe it’s a giant rampaging badger then. With an egg fetish.
Or it could be a killer rabbit.
Fortunately, I know where the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and the Book of Armaments are (over on Pundit Kitchen).
But you have to ask the Pope for them!
not engrish unless you count the lack of an ing. saw that place on a survival show. it is possible to boil eggs and meat
For want of an ing, the egg was lost. For want of an egg, the meat was lost. For want of the meat, the survivor was lost. For want of a survivor, the show was lost. No boil rerun.
I bet there’s a sulfur smell in this pond.
Sulfur smell… you mean like rotten eggs???
Egg-sacly
AAAAARGH! *clonk* Dreadful Pun Hell fairy finds your pun eggscruciating.
Sorry Deadful Pun Hell Fairy,
Should I take a dip in the boiling pond as punishment? Wait, I don’t think I can because then my ovaries will boil and I don’t think they allow that here.
I am curious on what would be the penalty if somebody attempts to boil egg there. What kind of traveler in the first place to bring a fresh egg along?

nope, definitely not!!!
