It is Yule. It is. It is. I am all a giggle. Most of the pressies are stashed already and the tree goes up this weekend. We're not one of those November tree families, you know. That is freakish. You have to wait for the cold to come and it came yesterday.
- Amazing show of RCMP red serge and support from over a thousand Mounties at the funeral for the lost police officers in Washington state. h/t to Mr. Taylor via FB.
- It may be Christmastime but be careful. There are anti-Yule forces. Anti-Santites. Wow. Shocking news. Egg nog has calories. Who knew. Who cares. Is this news?
- My local NNY TV station of choice knows enough to use the phrase "Gordie Howe hat trick" - excellent.
- Good news for Jays fans as Jamie Campbell is sent out to pasture. I know he is a human being with feelings and all but... THANK GOD!!!
- Syracuse wins another. This may be the year I head down and catch a basketball game live. I've caught football and lacrosse and now need to complete the holy trinity of orange garbed sports. Nine and Oh.
That is it for now. Not the most bullets but better than last week. Remember the third week of June back in '07? That was good. Those were great Friday bullets.

Meanwhile... in Canada local officials are reporting a rash of bank robberies and brazen shoplifting. "It's like they had no fear of getting caught" lamented one shopkeeper who was relieved of several rounds of fine cheese by a gang of 80-somethings on scooters.

Egg Nog IS calories... tasty, tasty calories only negated by the addition of Appletons..

Well, at least the Horsemen still have the most impressive uniform of any police force in the world...maybe they can build on that.
Eggnog has no calories...it has anti-calories. It is the rum/brandy/skreech which bulks you up.

Well, that hardly makes me feel better Jay.

I prefer the Evan Williams Egg Nog myself - where spirits abound - spirits like brandy, whiskey, and rum. I'm sure you'll find it, or other brands like Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog as well at that liquor mart you showed me last week.
Alan - December 14, 2009 7:16 AM
I don't know if we would, Mark. Are those old school brands?
David Janes - December 14, 2009 7:52 AM
Make the Eggnog yourself - it's worth it.

That's like whittling a sofa. Weaving your own bike from leftover bits of yarn.

It's just _eggs_ dude. It's like scrambling an egg, with icecream.

But you'd need to apply technology, right?

I think we mastered the pot about 80,000 years ago, and fire about a half-million before that. Cool, the outside provides.

Surely one must whisk. You can put an eye out with a whisk.

Thanks a lot.. I cant get the words "whittling a sofa" out of my head.. internet gold Alan.

The egg nogs I mentioned are the first thing you see when you visit Arsenal Wine and Liquor in Watertown. Admittedly, its the convenience of it already concocted as opposed to home made versions. But tasty nonetheless!

FYI, best pub In TO. Shoeless Joes.. Amazing selection of euro-drafts.
Alan - December 17, 2009 8:48 AM
Also, try Bar Volo up a bit on Yonge. I have not yet been to Shoeless Joes but hear very good things.
