That one guy looks a little too excited. Oh heck, he looks very excited.

The historical context here is that's how you cracked eggs in the middle ages, before they had our modern egg-cracking technology. You balanced the egg on the head of a priest or monk and then hit it with a rock. So the excitement comes from the imminent enjoyment of a freshly cracked egg.
