Getting pretty good action so far, but being flipped by the previous selling dealer. Looks like it'll have to hurry to make the 20 it hit last time.

A guy on my Submarine decided one day to see how many he could eat - scrambled - and it turns out the number that day was 56. Took him about an hour. He was 6'4", weighed right at 280; Mountain Man from Idaho.
Came back for lunch.
Some of the things we kids did to fill the time, I dare not tell.

Luke only ate hard boiled eggs.

We had cases and cases of the things. The Chief cook wouldn't let the galley use powdered eggs until all the Mk I items, in the original shell, were gone. You haven't really lived until you've smelt a three-month old egg, fresh cracked. Towards the end of the War Patrol, most of us just skipped breakfast.
