LOL.  Eggs.  Good one.  :D

You mean I'm not the only one with a couple of hundred rolls of b&w I have 
the best of intentions of buying the chemicals for processing, digging out 
the tanks and reels and Kodak process thermometer and chemical storage 
bottles and changing bag and stirring paddle and home-made film-hanging 
clips and mixing the chemicals and loading the film onto the reels and 
getting the chemicals to exactly the right temperature and agitating with a 
half twist every 30 seconds and tapping to dislodge bubbles and washing in 
several changes of distilled water and hanging up to dry and taking 
excruciating pains to not cut into images when cutting film into strips and 
storing in plastic negative carriers and labelling the carriers and filing 
the carriers, and then repeating the cycle 50 times for 200 rolls ...I don't 
know why I'm putting it off.

Cygnets would be too advanced a term for them. Small ovoid objects clustered 
around a pole more like. You know what I mean? Eggsactly.....

That Canon G9 is ok for static inconsequential stuff.  Must dig out the M3 
and run a roll - or even ten - through it. That said I have pile of B&W film 
I haven't even developed yet. Digital is just so much easier.
