It is like a Tom and Jerry or an eggy punch.
It's usually cream, eggs, nutmeg and booze. There is a non alcoholic version with milk instead of the booze.

eggy milk punch, is what I wanted to say.

Mom made egg nog at home when we were kids. No idea how genuine, certainly not "crafted""and certainly not spikey. Eggy milk punch is exacty right. Nicely sweetened....my mother couldn't do otherwise.

What's even sweeter about that album that my favorite drag queen, who fancies himself the 6th Spice Girl, turned me on to it. In her boy waiter persona, he used to run "Maybe" all the time on video where he worked. The video for Maybe is amazing, too!

I feel like a lot of it is that people feel that liking an artist-- or even liking music itself!-- is taking some sort of "stand."

In my record store days, I sold at least a dozen Cramps CDs off the player to older, dignified people who NEVER would have listened to a band with a name like "The Cramps" (let alone who LOOKED like the Cramps!)
