Gudetama "Eggs-hibition"


Say hello to Gudetama!

The lazy little egg came out of his shell to surprise customers in Hong Kong’s busy shopping area Mong Kok. Together with a pop-up store, fans can explore truly ‘egg-cellent’ exhibits, including a kawaii Gudetama themed bakery, a commuter train and Japanese restaurants.


Nothing can stir him up. Gudetama has a reputation for being lazy.


All aboard the Gudetama train. No ticket required.

The Boxer Rebellion Egg

A Troublesome Egg to Hatch
J. S. Pughe
Pub.: J. Ottmann Lith. Co., Puck Bldg., 1901 April 6.
from Puck magazine

The rulers of "Russia", "Germany", "Italy", "Austria", "France", and "England",  are as chickens trying to hatch a large egg labeled "China." A chicken labeled "Japan" stands in the background with Uncle Sam, also as a chicken, perched on a fence in the rear.

Refering to the Eight-Nation Alliance in response to the Boxer Rebellion in China, 1899-1901, five years after the first Sino-Japanese War.

The combination of extreme weather conditions, Western attempts at colonizing China and growing anti-imperialist sentiment fueled the movement.
The European great powers finally ceased their ambitions of colonizing China and this period marks the ceding of European great power interference in Chinese affairs.

Lazy Egg or Desperate Egg ?


His name is a wordplay on “gude-gude” which means lazy and “tamago” which means egg in Japanese. So Gudetama is an egg who seems to lack the energy to do anything much at all. He’s whiny, always has a face of despair and can usually be found sleeping in his shell, curled up in a bacon blanket or taking a nap on a bed of rice.


The latest character to join the Sanrio family, the Japanese lifestyle brand behind Hello Kitty, isn't a cuddly animal, or even a living creature. It's an egg named Gudetama.

Fritando Ovo no Asfalto


Se o caro leitor acha que o clima estava quente nesta sexta que passou, prepare-se para o pior. Hoje a temperatura começa a subir, domingo vai a 36º, na segunda a 37º e na terça e na quarta vai a 38º. Em Luís Eduardo, terça e quarta bate nos 35º. Com 38º graus à sombra, o asfalto fica entre 50 e 60º. E aí dá pra fritar um ovo. Mais lentamente que no fogão a gás, mas o resultado final é o mesmo.

The Origin of Humpty Dumpty

Beware the Batman
Television series
Warner Bros. Animation, 2013

Jim Gordon and Batman recall how the Gotham City villain Humpty Dumpty came to be.

Humpty Dumpty (Humphrey Dumpler), a large, portly, well-mannered man, is obsessed with putting broken things back together again even if he has to take them apart. Thinking that his abusive grandmother is broken, Dumpler dismembers and reassembles her in an attempt to fix her.
