" Oeufelia is a keen student of oology. " There used to be a lot of jokes about prenatal influences determining characteristics of the offspring. So, let's hear some theories about what "frightened" Oeufelia's mother.

Well, since "oeuf" is egg in French, maybe her mother dreamt eating an omelet made her pregnant.
Maybe she will grow up to be loved by Omelet, prince of Denmark.
If you're going to make an Omelet, you have to break eggs, and that was the end of Oeufelia.
Oeufelia was cloned as an oologist by a special process that took three ova and no sperm.

Oh, I imagine Oeufelia's mother was too hard-boiled to be frightened by much of anything...

Oeufelia's mother was too hard-boiled to be frightened by much of anythingeggcept by scientists. e.g. an egg-whipped-tologist. Which was why the egocentric mother was egged on by the father (known as Eggs Benedict)! But she became oeuforic when given a coddle, scrambled downstairs, and shelled out for another chicken to go with the one she poached earlier. She made herself a martini (shaken not shirred) and calmed down by chanting "Om". Let that be a lesson to you, not to give a challenge like that! Enoeuf already! These yolks are egregious.

Hey, that's a really neat link! And they're brief, but the one or two I know something about aren't phoney.
Thanks Bill/Faldage.

Oeufelia is a keen student of oologyOuefelia was eggshelly® a bit of a flirt and acquired the soubriquet oeuf-en-coquette. As she grew up she became an easy lay, so much so she was called leg over easy  ** Rod (I warned you there was more) ** Is the expression "to get your leg over" used in US, Zild, and other languages?

Omelet, prince of Denmark
Changing tack, I saw "Hamlet the Panto" by the OddSocks Players last Christmas. Absolutely hilarious. If you ever get the chance to see anything by them, it will be well worthwhile. As are (in my humble opinion) the Reduced Shakespeare Company productions, including the Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged) in 3 hours. Again, give them a try.

I had the chance to see this at Pic. Circus a few weeks ago. The actors were witty but I kind of missed the 'Shakespeare' part of the show. At points we drifted so far from the concept it really didn't make a difference what the show was meant to be about. Nevertheless it was a right laugh - definitely more 'panto style' than theatre. I didn't make it to the Barbican ("London's Cultural Powerhouse" te-he), or rather, 'Henry' was going to be too intense for my foreign companion.
