We're sure that many of you currently lay in a Whopper-fueled stupor, unable to will your appendages to lift themselves off of the ground -- but perhaps we could entice you to jump into action for a worthy reward. You see, hidden inside of three posts over the past two months are tiny Easter eggs, just aching to be found by an avid Joystiq reader. The first person to find all three and leave a comment containing the headlines of the stories where the eggs were located wins a prize more valuable than gold -- a B-B-B-Brush with Fame on the next Joystiq Podcast. We've got hints after the jump -- Let the hunt begin!
Those who haven't set off in a headstrong search for fame and glory know that true happiness comes from knowing what consoles sold the most in Japan last week. No real shockers from this edition -- the handheld market is continuing to boom, with the PSP dominating overall (though the DS is beginning to nip at its heels), and the 360 is selling at N-Gage-esque speeds.

Egg #1 -- Finding this one will be as tough as being between a Rock In a Hard Place.
Answer: "Rock in a Hard Place" was the name of an Aerosmith album. We've written stories about Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
Egg #2 -- This poor egg. All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado, trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear.
Answer: These are lyrics to Player's smash hit "Baby Come Back," featured in a post about the new editor in chief of Gamespot.
Egg #3 -- Can you have help finding this egg? Yes, no, maybe -- I don't know. Can you repeat the question?
Answer: Yes, no, and so on are the opening words to "Boss of Me", the theme song to Malcolm in the Middle, performed by none other than They Might Be Giants -- who performed on the Sims 2: FreeTime soundtrack.
