TOPIC: Omelette and scrambled are probably my favorite

Raiders at 20:27 lol

You've not much time, so seek and climb.
Two find the eggs, look in the dregs.
Dig deep in lore in eighty one
In cinemas where we had fun.
Make this no chore or you'll be blue.
A hat could be a subtle clue!

If you miss your chance tomorrow
Do not be glum nor have sorrow.
After next day that's full of sun
Go twenty sev', then subtract one
To get you one more chance to see
Though different climes it'll be.

Well if you're going with Raiders, and the reference to deep, I'm thinking The Well of Souls, you know, where you take the Headpiece to the Staff of Ra to a secret map room of the city of Tanis...and it shows the location of the Ark of the Covenant.

But another 1981 movie that may be relevant is Dragonslayer.

Less probable but possible would be Excalibur, Quest for Fire, Time Bandits, or even Clash of the Titans.

And for a longshot, the movie Heavy Metal.

And now I feel old.

The only two combined Easter eggs I can think of would be C-3PO and r2d2 in the same screen.

The Intruder Within

1981, prehistoric eggs. Also has a guy in a blue hard hat

Just in case this is right, at 20:27 of The Intruder Within, a female radio operator (Zortron 101) is trying to reach all points, as a mustached man leans in to listen to mostly static.

That scene does not seem particularly relevant.

Envy me!!!

Might this be an anagram somewhere? I mean, Lori almost never posts.

Ok - let’s narrow down movies from 81.
Raiders of the lost ark fits the hat piece
Other genre relevant movies from that year:
Excalibur
Clash of the Titans
History of the world part 1
Dragonslayer
Evil Dead
Time bandits
(81 was a really good year for movies)

Raiders easter eggs:
C3p0/r2d2
OB - CPO call sign for airplane (obi-wan reference)

I'm pretty lost in this, but throwing in my thoughts like in the dungeon in case it sparks someone else. I think it's related to VTD-26: Heart of the Sphinx. Druegar mentioned "twenty sev' minus one", so that's 26. Also, today is the last day to find the easter egg, which is a coincidence since 26 starts tomorrow. Then it says the day after next full of sun, so that's Sunday.

I also see "climb" twice in the puzzle: "climes" and "climb." Not sure any of this helps, but thought I'd share!

That's what I said! Maybe there is a movie related to Egypt or Tombs/Pyramids?

The last part of this says if we don't get it, we'll get another shot at it during VTD27 which is Grunnel's Holiday Special 2 which starts on December 6.
