Ways Geeks Celebrate Christmas

11. Mountain Dew-nog
10. Printing out "One Year of Free Computer Service" certificates to give to the family.
9. Designing elf-killing levels for your favorite FPS.
8. Explaining to children how it would be physically impossible for Santa to deliver all the presents.
7. Wear mistletoe hat and keep fingers crossed.
6. Devise a computer-controlled system to detect and prevent household members from trying to peek into their presents before Christmas.
5. Put a santa hat on your avatar.
4. Change the blue neon lights in the case to flashing red and green.
3. Decorating the tree with SDRAM and CPUs burned out from your last overclocking experiment.
2. Rewriting Christmas carols in Tolkien's Elvish.
1. Programming the christmas lights to flash out "I hate this holiday of unbridled consumerism" in binary.

could you post the recipe? I may need to do some taste-testing.

1 Egg
1 "Big Gulp" Mt Dew (any 32oz-er will do, but we all know that the 7-11 Big Gulp is the best).
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Nutmeg

Crack egg into a bowl, add vanilla extract, beat with a wire wisk until it's all pretty much the same color and as bubbly as you can get it. Carefully remove lid and straw from Big Gulp cup. Pour Egg mixture into Mt. Dew. Stir carefully (so you don't flatten the Dew in the process) until you're satisfied it's completely mixed. To add a festive touch, sprinkle Nutmeg on top. Drink up!!!
Rum optional.

If you like that, I also have made:

Mt Dew Floats
Mt Dew Pancakes/Waffles
Mt Dew Shakes (although once in awhile it is me who ends up with the "shakes")

and my personal favorite:

Mt Dew on Ice!!! ;~D
