Nog-changes.

Due to lack of leadership by the original Nog-Blog's founders, all content has been hi-jacked for its new home. Here. Loyal followers rejoice as the worldwide center for all nog-related activities has come back to fruition.

Rejoice!

The Nog Tolls For Thee

Everything changed. Changed so fast; a lightning pace. It was clear we weren't ready. We should of seen it coming. There's no one to blame but ourselves. Our foresight perhaps unsuspectingly hi-jacked by absurdly-early liquid festive cheer. The broken boundaries and dizzying highs from a whirlwind of online popularity has left Mark and I changed forever. Never has a blog spurred such a positive reaction from the digital masses. We were caught off guard and I doubt Mark will ever return to normal. Though I know our loyal fans will never truly accept these facts as an excuse for our absence, we can only endlessly ask for your forgiveness. Furthermore, we pledge to progressively change the arena of Nog discussion, expanding current paradigms and forging new ones. Though we can't see your faces through our computer screen, we know you can see the scars this adventure has forced us to bear. Let's all raise an ice cold glass of Nogliciousness, and together get right into things this young holiday season!

Noggin'


Hello Friends of Nog

Thanks to our local Ultra-mart and Dominion grocery outlet, there is an early yet bountiful harvest of fresh 'Nog for all. Thats right friends, 'Nog is back this season into homes across Ontario. Mark and I shared our first, creamy, eggy glass and recorded the joyous occasion. Note to viewer: Zoom into the background television screen to confirm the date of this years first sip...A whopping 2 months before Christmas season. Can anyone say Halloween Nog?

The 12 Nogs of Christmas

Thanks to Pat Bad's dissapearance, all Egg Nog drinkers in the Guelph region were finally able to stop looking over their shoulders, and ease into the long festive week ahead. The weekend of the 14th provided many 'Nog references, whether it be in conversation, sports or local box social chatter.

In the spirit of festiveness, Egg Nog followers have provided a hymn for all Noggers' to refelct on;


Graham spiked the egg nog,just how much we did not know.He stood there flashing a young lady,underneath the mistletoe.

Patty looked at Huey, he passed out on the floor.Always unwed, an old bugger, but he seen' plenty of naked men before.

Sheppard had a little taste,well maybe it was five or six. Was found laying on the floor.rolling over doing tricks.

Ally loves egg nog,especially with a little booze.I think she had a wee too much,plop, her false teeth she did lose.

The last was drank by Santa, boy that was a big mistake.He passed out on the sofa,now the kids know he's a fake.



Congratulations to all Egg Noggers' as we wish you all a great Nog Season!

If a Nog falls in the forest...

Though our ability to update the blog was hindered by a crazy schedule of box socials and wine parties, we still found time to photo fellow Noggers this festive season. Again, please note the unbelievable times and dates associated with these photographs.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing this seasons early favourite for the infamous "Scrooge" award, Mr. Andrew Smythe,

Great Nogging to one and all!

Hark! The Nog Herald Angels Sing!

A Nogsperience by: A local Nogspert.

Noggers' around the world love the final week before Christmas. The entire North Pole is buzzing with activity. I don't think anyone sleeps more than a couple of hours a night as the Nog'powers-that-be strive to make sure this will be the best Nog season ever. It is truly exhilarating. As most of you know, I love my caffeine Egg Nog blend - I drink it non-stop up until I go to bed - but it is not the caffeine that keeps me going, it's the festive spirit behind the drink that keeps me wide awake.

But Imagine a holiday season without Egg Nog.

Fear. Uncertainty. Desolation - That is a world without Nog. We have to understand the consequences of a world without Nog before we truly begin to appreciate what it does for us. It is hard to imagine a Christmas without a cup of the "nog" to spice up the atmosphere and lend merriment and joy to the proceedings of any occasion. When you and your mates enjoy this holiday season, remember that, like many other of our grand traditions, there is history and life behind that little frothy brew. Don't take for granted a single cup, sip or even a little merry drop of that special "lait de poule".
