As a child, I was fascinated with the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies. What an idyllic life! A loving family, living in a tree house, no boring school all day, ostrich eggs over easy for breakfast, and a pet chimpanzee. Every day was a field day with a picnic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Tarzan had a magic word! Ungawa!<\/strong> I never knew what it meant, but when Tarzan said it, stuff happened. Even to this day, at the gracefully decrepit age of 140, I still find myself saying “Ungawa” when things don’t go right and I need a quick thaumaturgic<\/a> (my new word-of-the-day)<\/span> fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PanCocoJams has a thoughtful historical and cultural review of “Ungawa”<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarzan: The Garden of Eden?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I think there is more than meets the eye here. Architypes, legends, the curse of imperialism, the curse of greed, the fellowship of man, and man and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ostrich Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I wish I knew the whole story, but a non-profit in Cincinnati, La Soupe<\/a>, received a donation of an ostrich egg, which they turned into a giant deviled egg. Could this be The Worlds Largest Deviled Egg (TWLDE<\/strong>)? We applaude La Soupe’s commitment to feeding the hungry and reducing food waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
