Who or what Evert Carton (odd name !!!) is or was ...

This is what came to mind when I saw the name the first time:

Evert - transitive verb: overthrow, upset


Carton - noun: a box or container usually made of cardboard and often of corrugated cardboard

Ahh... so "Evert Carton" really means "Overthrow the Eggbox"... :D


Well, I understood it to mean "overthrow all cardboard packaging", but essentially, yes...

Why not bring it up?  The chap wanted to say "goodbye" and that's it.  I bet he wishes he hadn't bothered now.


I have to admit, it seems folks are having a field day with this. I could understand it if it were the case that Hyperion Entertainment had turned round and said "so long and thanks for all the fish" but that's not what has happened. Well, at least not yet anyway though I'm sure some folk still live in hope.
