      Because I know almost nothing about anime. If you want me to lecture about early 20th century American animation though, I can tell you all about Ub Iwerks and the Fleischers.

    I thought you were talking about Ghost Stories but I don’t think it came out in the 60s

        His dad is his eyeball! It has arms and legs. His name is Medama-Oyaji, which translates directly to “eyeball daddy”.
        Also the way you say “sunny-side-up” when referring to styles of frying eggs, you say “medama-yaki”, which translates directly to “fried eyeball” because it kinda looks like the yolk is a pupil and the white is the white.

        This has been: the crossover between 60s ghost anime and eggs.

    Right now I just get lectured about Gravity Falls when I make eggs.

    Could be worse.

        You got the first part right. The second part, nope. My wife was literally making eggs for breakfast.

        And I will say nothing more.

        And I think “making eggs” is a joke about having kinds in a way.

        In my case, when I’m cooking for my cartoon-obsessed kid, she knows she’s not supposed to go anywhere but also realizes she has a captive audience.
