- |i am going to drink an entire quart of
- |store-bought eggnog today.
-
- My housemates have their own Eddie Haskell, a tall lanky guy named Max
- who is always over when the laugh track is starting to pipe down.
-
- Max convinced Scott that Safeway eggnog -- the usual, inexpensive
- kind, not the Premium kind in the black containers with the gold
- printing -- was the Correct and Proper eggnog, and therefore they went
- on a drinking binge of it. A half a dozen times I would come home to
- find the empty half-gallon cartons littering the kitchen, the glasses
- with that bizarre crusty film on them, the two of them sitting there
- moaning.
-
- "It is important," says Max, "to drink the right amount. Not too much,
- or you'll get really sick. Only enough to give you that queasy
- feeling."
-
- Just like true addicts, after a while this wasn't enough.
-
- I had pointed out to Max that eggnogg was merely whipping cream with
- some eggs and nutmeg in it. Max, being a gadget hound, brought over
- his instant cream whipper, and poured a pint in, charging it with much
- of the precious Gas of Hilarity. They spent a long time thereafter
- spraying it into peoples' mouths, and occasionally, Arrow the Dog's
- mouth. Arrow likes whipped eggnog. Arrow also likes Rolo candies,
- avocados, and pizza, but that's another story.
