Sorry, I have no idea who said "I am just an egg."

Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.

Robert Anson Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land, referring to Micheal Valantine Smith growing up on Mars after being born en route, and then left orphaned. The Martians, having a quite different life cycle than humans, which includes an egg stage, use the term to express a humble deference to anothers greater knowledge. "I am only an egg" means that they have not had the life experience yet to dispute the elders knowledge on a subject.

ads -- shmads...

Brandi used to advertise as being Asian .. same with mia_cash. Wonder how accurate the new ads are in Uptown??? Anyone have 2 browns to throw away in case?

I'm out of commission for now due to an injury, but I'd be interested in this. I'm very leary due to the number of agencies and false advertising out there (mia, brandy). But I'm going to try to do some more investigating, and if it looks promising then I'll definitely post a review.
