FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS We are reading Farmer Boy (Laura Ingalls Wilder) to Calvin. I never read it as a kid. Last night we read the chapter about harvesting the hay, oats, and wheat. They bring in some extra workers and the whole family works their tails off in the hot sun to get all the grain harvested. Imagine my surprise when they stop at mid-day for a super refreshing drink of ... EGG NOG?!?!?!
"In the middle of the morning, Mother blew the dinner horn. Almanzo knew what that meant…Mother met him on the back porch with the milk pail, brimming full of cold egg-nog. The egg-nog was made of milk and cream, with plenty of eggs and sugar. Its foamy top was freckled with spices, and pieces of ice floated in it. The sides of the pail were misty with cold…he set down the pail, he dipped the dipper full, and he drank. The cold egg-nog slid smoothly down his throat, and it made him feel cool inside. …When he reached the hayfield, everyone stopped work. They…passed the dipper from hand to hand until all the egg-nog was gone. Almanzo drank his full share. Lazy John said, wiping the foam from his mustache, ‘Ah! That puts heart into a man!’ …Father always maintained that a man would do more work in his twelve hours, if he had a rest and all the egg-nog he could drink, morning and afternoon.…”
Capitalism I mean, just thing about Nog Bro. He understands nog now.
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS That is the greatest nog story ever told.
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS NOG BAN
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS I have told him straight up we can't have any more nog this year. He just looks sheepish
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS "I think we are going nog-free for the rest of this season" I would like to hear Gary's opinion on this!
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS More victims in the path of the Nog-Capitalist axis...
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS I got a bottle of 8 year rum at work white elephant yesterday so I'm gonna get some nog at lunch and put the rum in the nog!
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS last night I wasn't paying attention until it was too late and Gary had drunk literally like 3 water glasses full of regular full-egg/full-cream nog. He was like "I don't feel so good" and when I realized how much nog he'd had I got so mad. I don't understand why he thinks he can drink the equivalent of like a gallon of raw eggs, cream, and sugar in basically one sitting. I don't understand how anyone would even want to do that.
I think we are going nog-free for the rest of this season. "If you can't be trusted to drink nog like an adult then we can't have any more nog."
It's not even christmas yet! Not even close
NOGVERDOSE
FUCKING SHIT IT'S NOGWATCH SEASON MOTHERFUCKERS OMG I had some amazing secret nog made by Tyler at Fenrir last night. It's got brandy and aquavit and was so thick and eggy and weirdly refreshing. Too bad it's #secretnog #notavailabletothepublic
