Why bother with the , then? Once you've had a , you'll forget you ever had .

If I forget I had it, then when I wake up from the gargle blaster I will make tea

That sounds like a good plan.

wot

of course there are mixed drinks containing

long island iced to name one

Now where did I put those holiday lights

maybe I put them in December 2001
shagbark sets out some portable christmas lights along the railing
hooked to a portable hydrodynamic generator.

the tradition continues:shagbark brings out table which he bolts to deck. Decks it in
Christmas finery and installs crockpot for wassail.

lets see if I recall the recipe it had cider, mixed with nutmeg and cinnamon, Peach Brandy, the mystery ingredient,
and the whole thing served in mugs at 40 degrees Celsius.

Shagbark returns from secret closet with two dozen mugs and a mug heater

time to grind the nutmeg.

and to sautee the mystery ingredient.

shagbark brings out and plugs in a large blender.
In goes the cider, in goes the brandy, in goes the mystery ingredient, in goes the spices. Power up and mix for one hour.

Here I come a wassailing upon a pirate ship
Here I am a wassailing upon this jolly trip.
Love and joy come to you and to you your wassail too
And God Bless you and send you a happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year .

AAARG, I was just kidding about the hour long mixing.
Turns off mixer and pours into hickory kegs.

second batch ready, once more loads cider, brandy, the mystery ingredient, and spices. Power up and mix for ten minutes.

the smell of raw wassail begins to drift off the foredeck

Here we come a wassailing upon a pirate ship

Here we come a drinking, there's many ropes-don't trip!!

Love and joy come to you- and to you youer wassail too

and God bless you and and send you a mighty trip God bless you and and send you a mighty Christmas trip
