Hmm fair point good sir. Well alright then.
Finding said eggs sounds painful. Though.

Just make overlords and before you do anything click somewhere safe. It will rally the overlords, select something else and then make more units.

Why isn't checkers a sport like Chess? That's a totally ridiculous statement; things that are competitive can have different difficulty levels/learning curves/skill ceilings. Not to mention you're taking a joke statement seriously; lighten up dood!

If you're occupied, it is next to impossible to do, but if you're in your base and you just got larva I build OL's first, double click and re-rally them. Then I use remaining larva for other units, but always try to remember to build OL's first just for re-rally

say you have 20larva. you select em, make 5 overlords, rally them somewhere else
then you select something random that has nothing to do with hatcheries. you select your hatcheries again, you select your 15 larva remaining and make whatever out of them which you can rally somewhere else
it sounds rather complicated but it's not too bad really :p only in the lategame can it become really annoying

Can be good vs infestors if you manage to get sick EMPs off. For sniping broodlords? Not so much. I disagree, snipe is super effective against broodlords. The range of snipe exceeds the range of brood lords, and it has zero cooldown so broodlords just melt against it. I respectfully disagree. If snipe didnt have energy cost it would be great, but unfortunantely it does cost energy. Also the broodlings makes it difficult for ghosts to get close to the broodlords. Also the zerg will probably have some lings/infestors near the broodlords, making it even harder to get snipes of. You make a good point, but I think cloak changes things. Zergs don't usually have overseers with their army, but even if they do, overseer sight is only 1 more than ghost range, and ghosts can snipe an overseer very quickly. Zerg does have fungal, but if the ghosts are spread out or EMP the infestors then they have free reign to snipe broodlords. It can also be hard in a hectic late-game to spot cloaked ghosts to fungal them. So zerg does have responses to ghosts as you say, but I still think ghosts are very strong against the broodlord/infestor mix, if you have enough of them.
Its hard to get enough ghosts out. And when you finally have enough ghosts out, your tank count will be pretty small, making ling/infestor a really awesome combo.

We're not talking about monobattles! All those hours spent playing 'how many times can you click in a minute' would finally pay off. Unless you get 5 snipes of instantly its 6 snipes afaik. And when trying to snipe broodlords, theres the risk of your ghosts dying to fungal, and getting trapped by lings. Unless ofcourse you cloak, and the zerg doesnt have overseer/you snipe it. So that leaves rather little energy left to use snipe. Im just saying, ghost usage vs broodlord isnt some magic trick that will make tvz imba once terrans start to use it.
I don't think it will make Terran imba, but I think it would reach a stage where the player who micro's better will win the battle. Like late game TvP Bio vs Deathball is at.
Snipe barely out-ranges fungal growth (I think with the aoe of fungal it can barely hit before snipe, but that would only be one ghost caught) so ghosts can also kill Infestors.
edit:Ghosts can also EMP an infestor before its in range to fungal.

That's when the terran manage to keep attacking non stop yes, that's basically the whole TvZ game plan here. Forcing the zerg to spend larvas on units and not on tech or drones, limiting his expansions and his economy and trading units until you kill him. Textbook TvZ there
