[blue_moon]

I'm just wishing you all a merry Christmas.
Just don't let this turn into this (http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=341100&hl=) or this (http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=341277&hl=). Happy Holidays :)!!!

[jeff]

Haha thanks I guess.

And btw I was gonna say that I was jewish if it wasn't for that thing you posted below.
I was basically gonna start the fight lmao.

[blue_moon]

If you wanted to talk about Hanukkah (I hope I spelled it right), that's fine. The thing that stinks though is that it already ended.

[Samail]

Have a happy... 4th week in December! :)

[wildgoosespeeder]

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hope this (http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/uncensored.shtml) video gets everyone in the giving (or recieving? :eek:) spirit. :)

[wildgoosespeeder]

"Happy Christmas" is a British saying for our "Merry Christmas".

Hey, maybe Drow Elf is British...

[Zwaken]

Did you happen to know...That Santa Clause is coming to town?

[Skix]

I have that same jug -o- Eggnog Bert...

[jeff]

does that eggnog bottle say kroger? in that little blue circle.

[Bert]

I have that same jug -o- Eggnog Bert...

Sweet :). I just picked out a random google image pic of eggnog. The sad part is that I have never had eggnog before! What is it comparable to, milk? ¿Es bueno?

[Skix]

Let me put it this way:

One Has Not lived Until they have tried Eggnog.

If your lactose intolerant, it's OK, because One sip is all you need to get the full flavor.

[blue_moon]

Eggnog tastes like crap.

[Bert]

Can someone describe the flavor please :)?

[Everlast]

Merry Christmas! And may I just add a link to this video...

[Drow Elf]

OY! I was born, raised, and currently reside in California. I don't get why phrasing is traditional.

Bert, are you Jewish? Even so get some eggnog.
Si, es muy bueno. Neccesitas probar.

What kind of eggnog tastes like crap? If it's that fat free organic junk then get some other kind, that stuff is nasty.

[Bert]

No, I am not Jewish. Still no description of it :(.

[Drow Elf]

It's hard to explain...

Here's a better question:
What religion do you celebrate?

[Samail]

That's not a better question at all! Eggnog is a vital part of the holidays!

...And a flavor that I cannot describe. Just get a small carton of it. Regular stuff. You'll be happy afterwards.

[Bert]

I don't really have a religion, but I celebrate all the major Christian holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Halloween (is that Christian?). I don't have a religion, I don't go to church, yet I celebrate all of the holidays :).

[Samail]

Same here.
Holidays are holidays, unless they have deeper meaning to you.

And dude! It's almost December 25th! Christmas is not complete without the noggy goodness.

EDIT:
Uhh, when I typed in Christmas and accidentally spelled it like this: Chirstamds, the first option on the spell checker menu was Bloodthirsty. :shocked: Then "Thirsted", "Thirster" (is that even a word?), "Thirster's", and "Thirstier".

[Bert]

I will have to go to the store and pick some up tomorrow. I feel deprived!

[Drow Elf]

Hate to break it to you, but tomorrow is Christmas. Very few stores will be open. I found a recipe (http://www.eggnogrecipe.net/diamond-eggnog-recipe.html) though.

[Skix]

Eggnog tastes like crap.

One of two things:
You are an uncivilised, unwashed hethan

Or more likely:
You've had some crappy eggnog.

Good eggnog is hard to find.

However, Too find the good stuff, Their are three things You have to look for:

1) Color
Good eggnog should be Tan with a Noticable yellow tint.
If it looks more yellow than tan, it has to much Tumeric In it, and will have a funky aftertast, and may seem bitter.
If it's compleatly tan, with no yellow, Than it has to little or no tumeric. It will still be edible, but will tast... off...

2)Speckles
Good eggnog should have plenty of visable "Speckels" in it, but not so much it's compleatly filled with them. These Speckels are nutmeg, And are a key ingrediant in egg nog.

To much nutmeg will have a strong aftertast, May be spicy, and will have a generaly unpleasing flavor.
To little nutmeg or none at all, will throw the other flavors out of balence, and the eggnog will be Bland and unimpressive, or bitter and nasty, depending on how much tumeric is in it.

3) Thickness
Eggnog should be thick and creamy. Part of the Eggnog experiance is it's utter thickness. without this thickness the flavor cannot be fully enjoyed. also, if it's watery, Than chances are it probably won't tast to good because watery eggnog is eggnog that someone cut corners in, and they probably skimped on the nutmeg and tumeric.

Lastly, it is possible to get overly spiced eggnog in general. (I once had a really powerfull bottle of promise land) You can tell by an unpleasnt bitterness coupled with nasty after tast, in an other wise fine looking bottle. To fix this, Just stir in a little milk. The higher fat the better. It will dilute the spices a bit and make it more paletable...

As you can see, Eggnog is a very delicate drink, and Corperate Automation will murder it sometimes...

As for flavor...
There is no other to compare it to.
You'll have to go buy some and try it for yourself.
You can make it to, but unpasterised eggs can be dangerous...

Also, many people will add rum to eggnog. This is called "Spiced" or "Spiked (Obviously)" Eggnog.
The Rum is not neccisary However.

[Drow Elf]

Why/how do you know all that?

[Skix]

I love eggnog.

And I have had many a nasty bottle.
So Instead of throwing it out, I would go to the spice rack and Add stuff...

[Rex Nex]

Hello Blitwise!

Its 6:13 AM here, my parents wont let me wrap gifts for another hour or so. So many video-game looking packages under our giant christmas tree! Oh the joy!

[Zwaken]

I got to open a few of my presents yesterday, because one of my cousins has to go to California this morning, so we 1/2 celebrated yesterday and the next 1/2 is coming whenever everyone else wakes up.

[Onikura]

Merry Christmas all!

[Samail]

@Skix: I should print off your tips and tricks post. :)
Know your nog.

Guess we may as well list the stuff!

-Nintendo DS Lite

-DS Lite starter kit with a crap-load of equipment/accessories/doodads/what-nots.

-Wii Zapper (Now we have 2. Oh well.) :rolleyes:

-A good digital camera

-Two imitation Rubik's cubes

-Lots of sugary edible stuff

-All 4 seasons of Corner Gas on DVD. :)

Here's (http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture054ng2.jpg) the kind of area I live in. Took that shot a few weeks ago.
Didn't get as much snow as we usually do...

[Inugo]

I got ya'll beat.

I got a shirt, a pair of pants and two more shirts.
I then recieved an orange, a second orange and three pieces of chocolate.
Superbad.
Two seat covers (I can't afford racing seats as I want a Muscle car).
A Calender of Muscle Cars (the ironing is delicious).
Basically, my Christmas sucked; I found a 100 dollar check from my Grandparents, but as I'm saving up for a $5,000 car, that doesn't get me very far.

[Samail]

As far as the stuff goes, not so great I see...

[TurtleTuck]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
(dah...Turtle's back, I thought he died...:() A lot of new people:shocked:

[Rex Nex]

Eh...

Chirstmas was ok... if I didnt get pocket tanks it would have been worse....

Some hollister t-shirts (Overpriced)

Oblivion (Very nice, just wish I had gotten the expansions with it)

For some reason, these weird dudes in cubes that interact with each other....

Pocket Tanks: Collecters Edition (Complete with X-Man stamps)

Giant beanbag chair-type of thing. (Instead of beams, its cotten. But not like chair cotten. Little peices of cotten all over the place: Makes a great game-play chair)

Uh... K'Nex (Not only did it have Nex in it, but I heard you guys talking about them. Sounded cool)

20Q (20 Questions)

Err... a gumball machine... and a lot of candy.

[Rex Nex]

By the way Samail, that looks exactly like Michigan. Heck, minds as well be Canada...

[TurtleTuck]

You hadn't heard of K' nex before?!?:shocked: kind of like the little brother to legos. Then there's Lincoln logs but those are for Orphan kids.

Apparently I'm hard to shop for so I got a lot of gift cards.

[Inugo]

Lincoln logs are for s'peds. Most are too big to be eaten, so... Orphan's don't get toys; everyone knows kids with no parents don't deserve a happy Christmas.

[Skix]

100 Dollars
My Favorite Bike Was Fixed

It would have Been Perfect Had I gotton The Surround Sound Headphones I had Asked For, I'm Buying them Tommarow... It's been a good, if strange Christmas. Then Again, I've had Weirder... I once got Socks and Tiny Pecker Condoms...

[Drow Elf]

Toenail clippers?

I'm like Tuck. But I got $1150 and gifts. Mostly Terry Prachett books. For those of you who don't know, he's a British humor writer who's books are so popular he makes almost as much money as J.K. Rowling. I also got around 5 pounds of chocolate.

EDIT

I think I'll close off this thread for the night, as it's 10:32 in CA, and as far as I know, no one is in Hawaii so...
