Mostly correct with a few exceptions: Magic mushrooms, eating yellow snow, getting high...

Thanks, it wasn't really worth buying all that extra, it was still just a thick paste just extremely boozy. I think it ruined nog for me. I haven't had any since.

That laptop was a cheap-o p.o.s. I pulled from the pile behind my desk at work:

I buy em cheap and in bulk for our RTD Systems. The lowest system resources possible but without being in S-Mode. I can't stand S-Mode. It's already enough to have to install .NET 3.5 so I can get the RTD system software installed and running.

S-Mode = A lock on the OS for installing software other than things from the Microsoft Store. Low end laptops will usually have this feature enabled.

RTD System = Resistance Temperature Detection. Basically, just a thermometer hooked up to a laptop via wireless transmitter and receiver for temperature monitoring.

My daughter got me this:

(And yes, to judge by the photo of the ingredients, that egg-nog looks pretty powerful.)

Happy Christmas to you both and to everyone on MB.

I like to read as I listen. That was nifty, Lisna. Thanks.

I actually have the Beatles' Christmas album (probably a bootleg). It's interesting how they went from basically just being young clowns, to being more experimental to actually sending separate greetings at the end (Hearing John and Yoko singing to each other is always a hoot).

Tried to see if I could find the original 1967 message (Christmas Time Is Here Again), but the only thing I could find is some mash up with the Beach Boys (or at least a band that sounds like the Beach Boys). It's a lot more than what you here on Anthology though.
