from that page, which is chock full of ... something ...



My buddy used to have one of these things. It's a wooden moose, and you can load it up with M&Ms or other small candies. And when you lift it's tail, it poops out 2 or 3 M&Ms into your hand.

THE ORIGINAL ALASKAN POOP MOOSE

I... just... don't understand. WHY? 

[the last yatto]

Have a chicken that does the same thing, its good way to keep small bits of candy hidden from the misses

Is Herbert aware of this? If so, tell him to have that fat blonde airhead over. It's high time she meets us.

ALL OF US.


Also: The Tack™, and other ornaments, will be reclaimed by the Sovereign Princess, formerly of the Suucasa Keep, now known as the Monastery, in a ritual that should involve a pineapple.

This is my bidding.

The General and I will also be arriving fashionably late, but hopefully already a little drunk.

[Richter]

Awesome you can ditch the tree dicking in tiem to join us!
Herb knows I'm throwing a shindig, and will likely be at work, please pre-arrange any ornament retrieval with him, I'm not invovled in this. 

Pinapple will happen if I have time to get one.

[Suu]

The Tack™ is a family heirloom. He is no longer family as of October 12th, 2010. I am merely reclaiming what is righteously mine, and it is coming to Florida with me to rejoin it's kin.

anybody else making egg nog?

We make a ton of this stuff so we like the simple recipes, the ones that don't require lots of heating and then chilling it overnight or whatever.

Here's our typical nog:
(and truth be told we usually just use rum instead of rum and brandy)

Eggnog

6 eggs
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup brandy
1/3 cup dark rum (Captain Morgan for best flavor, but Myers is fine)
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups milk
All liquids should be very cold. Refrigerate in advance.

Beat the eggs for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed until very frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Turn the mixer off and stir in the cold brandy, rum, whipping cream and milk Chill before serving. Sprinkle individual servings with more nutmeg.

Makes about 2-1/2 quarts.

btw Cram,

Having done all manner of complex navigational calculations involving the use of a sextant and several messenger pigeons, I have determined that I probably won't be able to make it any earlier than 11:00 AM, and probably more like 11:30 AM. Just a heads-up.

[Cramulus]

that's fine, I figure most people probably won't get there till 11 either

oh my god Moosemas is the best holiday ever

[Cramulus]

check in:

end of moosemas day, dec 19 2010 -

started drinking at 10 AM today
had last beer @ 12:50 AM. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

best day ever

we discovered that if you pour funfetti cake mix into a waffle iron, you get a waffle with the consistency / flavor of cupcake

made us wonder what else you can cook in a waffle iron -- ground beef?

decorations included the first 50 images I printed from the google image searches "Moose", "Moosemas", "Moose cartoon", and "Moose comic". Some ridiculous stuff.

so many delicious things were consumed today

bagels & coffee
mimoosas
sparkling bubbles (champagne + sparkling cider)
moosenog from scratch
hot mulled cider
waffles from scratch
waffles from cupcake stuff
coffee cake
cheese and crackers
great beers and vodkas and rums and brandies
bloody mooseys
chinese food

biggest moosemas ever this year - easily 30 or 40 people over the course of the day. They came in waves.

we were visited by jolly old st. nicklemoose

cainad gave me a set of diabetic socks 

for some reason people began throwing the principia discordia at each other's faces. One guy got cut a little. He bled in the name of Eris.

it was a moosemas miracle!


a great time was had by all

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That whole "using the waffle iron for other than its intended purpose" thing is totally awesome. Also try corn muffin mix, and sandwiches.
