Anyone who doesn't buy Defense Grid at this price is dead to me.

Nice,  Yap. I covet. See here I am covered all up in frosty seasonal covetitious (quad core 1.3 GHz) coveting. I am going to get something similar in the spring.

Hey scout, look what I found in Steerpike's document on silo fealty...

"There will be a plastic pool in the want room, and a tap on the wall labelled 'covet-gravy', and those who are in a position of want shall be placed in the pool and enabled  to swim in the high viscosity gravy of unsatisfied envy with videos of said encounters placed on the YouTube servers with ad-revenue going to fund more toys for the more high up."

Sounds like you're going to want to have your toys sorted before going in.

3)... Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until thick. Do not allow mixture to boil.

 

I can say with authority that while we are constantly looking for 'thick' and 'rich' eggnogg, the line between thick and boiled is tenuous.

I cannot speak for all cultures, and perhaps for some a rheumy, clumpy, rummy  egg and milk chew with emetic qualities is the apex of holiday fun sharing, and for those, carry on. Our guests will be getting store-bought.  [Image Can Not Be Found]

scout, treat that with some care.  Never assume your water supply is perfectly safe, especially since  a 5 minute boil is all it takes to be sure. Naturally, the only thing that's worse than serving your guests a clotted egg/milk/rum casein mix is having your brain turned into one by an amoeba. During dinner. With a nice Malbec.

 

edit: I can say with some authority that the rum/brandy/Irish Cream mix is very nice even on its own.  I did not commit any of this mix to the molten milk/egg fire until it was stable, so we lost nothing lost on this front. We're thinking of marketing the whole thing as kind of a baseball replacement to chewing tobacco, take a big gulp of this stuff and sorta strain it out between cheek and gum and it'll turn into one of those teeth guards you see so often on t.v.
