"ToySoldiers" news and stories

I've never really used an egg cup. To me it's almost as bizarre a kitchen accessory as the bygone ice cream fork. Apparently there are folks out there who feel differently about egg cups. Witness the military-themed egg cup I ran across the other night.

It's available online from Boys to Men, a site that sells everything from a brain-shaped mouse to a memory stick designed to look like a twig. My guess is that it's designed to tap into nostalgia for green army men. Personally I'd like to see a few of the minesweeper guys surrounding the egg.

I'm not sure how many people are going to pony up $21.99 for this unique piece of tableware, but it's certainly worth visiting Boys to Men if only to read the catalog copy. "They are working hard to protect the egg but one after another, the bread soldiers just keep coming. How will it end?" Oh, the humanity!
