Comments on: Clement Clarke Moore Stares Down at Me from Heaven, Brandishing His Naked Fist http://www.runofplay.com/2008/12/20/clement-clarke-moore-stares-down-at-me-from-heaven-brandishing-his-naked-fist/ Attacking Football Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:34:31 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Fredorrarci http://www.runofplay.com/2008/12/20/clement-clarke-moore-stares-down-at-me-from-heaven-brandishing-his-naked-fist/comment-page-1/#comment-3322 Fredorrarci Mon, 22 Dec 2008 23:58:18 +0000 http://www.runofplay.com/?p=5093#comment-3322 If the opportunity arises, Siobhan, I'll certainly give it a go, after that enthusiastic pitch. Discovering this site was like stumbling into a university where the professors are fond of making detours via the chemistry department just in case some "interesting" fumes waft through the vents. But with more football. Long may it continue. If the opportunity arises, Siobhan, I'll certainly give it a go, after that enthusiastic pitch.

Fredorrarci, if you have never had eggnog, then this will be a Christmas to remember: find some and realize what you have been missing! And Richard, if you have never had good eggnog: please do the same! Ignore utterly the insipid yellowish liquid that is sold in cartons in the store, and mix up the properly creamy, spicy, frothy, egg-rich, rum-laden stuff yourself. Despite some European antecedents, eggnog could be called the Americas' signal contribution to the holiday pantheon that includes gluhwein, glogg, and of course smoking bishop. It is a worthy addition. This will be my first and perhaps my only comment on this site, but I cannot allow dismissals of eggnog to stand.

Does eggnog actually exist, or was it invented by a US TV scriptwriter? Hmmm, that sounds a bit ambiguous…what I mean to say is, I laughed.
