On the last day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Twelve skateboard tricks.
That's right children, it totally happened. We have made it to day twelve of Clogmas with minimal pain and suffering. I hope that all of you thoroughly enjoyed your presents, because it sure as shit took every ounce of physical and mental strength to provide you with them. I am sad to say that, much like the little drummer boy, I have no material gifts to deliver anyone. Hopefully mine and Clark's skating will suffice.
On Christmas Eve's eve I dragged Clark out into the freezing cold to experience some unbridled Holiday cheer. We did a few tricks, had some laughs, and pissed off a couple horses. Merry Christmas every last one of ya'll!

the 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 11
On the eleventh day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Eleven walnuts cracking.
During these long winter nights few things are as comforting as a huge bowl of walnuts, a lobster claw cracker (I think that is the actual use of the tool in the picture), and a hot cup of joe. It is day eleven (I mean not technically), and I could not be happier. Why is that you ask? it is because I already have day twelve ready to go, and after I post it I'll be able to sit back, relax, and overdose on cookies and gingerbread.

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 10
On the tenth day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Ten Niner wins.
No other football teams' colors represent the holiday season better than the 49ers. Red and Gold, come on son! A few weeks back a few friends and I attended the San Francisco St. Louis game, and needless to say, it was a blowout. It also gave the 49ers their tenth win of the season, and my tenth day of Clogmas blog post. How's that for a win win situation!
Raw happiness... and hoppiness.
Grill masta Mike.
Burger and a side salad.
"I am the best Robinette," declared Tyler, right before devouring a chicken wing.
the self proclaimed "Best Robinette," in peak form.

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 9 (yes I am well aware that by the time I finish this post it will literally be Christmas)
On the ninth day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Nine stollen slices.
Have I failed miserably at providing Clog patrons with meaningful and entertaining posts coinciding with the twelve days leading up to Christmas? I don't think so, because by my count there are still twenty four hours and nine minutes left for me to squeeze in three days worth of Clog presents.
It has come to my attention that it has been quite some time since I have dedicated a post to baking. Do not take this as a sign of me slacking off, because there has been plenty of epic baking sessions going down lately. Today I deliver to you nine slices of stollen, which is a German Christmas bread filled with fruit nuts and other lovely flavors. It is dusted with powdered sugar and looks like a snow covered worm. How can one be certain that this loaf was actually cut into nine slices? Well, how can one be certain of anything these days!

the 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 8 (sooooo behind I'm not really sure what the date is)
On the eighth day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Eight legged critters.
I have never done a Clog book review, and that is for good reason. I seldom read, and therefore have little to no authority when it comes to the topic of literature. I do however, have quite some experience in the art of Christmasing. I know this is neither a word found in any dictionary, nor a word most of you are familiar with, but it basically describes the act of celebrating Christmas.
The Cobweb Christmas is a book that has been with me throughout my childhood, and tells the story os an old German widow who slaves away every Christmas preparing her house for friends and neighbors. I wish too keep most of story secret, but let's just say that spiders are involved.

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 7 (still way behind)
On the seventh day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Seven Scottish photos.
Scotland always reminds me of Christmas time. Perhaps it is the damp rainy weather, dense greenery, or red and green plaid scarves available on every street corner. Then again, maybe I am just desperately trying to come up with anything to post for the twelve days of Clogmas. These photos were taken over the past summer, and believe me, I have been saving them specifically for these twelve days of online holiday gifting. Does anyone actually believe that?
I took a long walk from our hotel to the seaside town below. It was sunny when I left but the clouds soon returned and drenched me from head to toe.
Then the sun came back again. This I would later learn, was a common occurrence in Scotland.
I can most likely attribute my eventual food poisoning to eating things like this. Totally worth every painful bowel movement I suffered.
Scotland got spots. Stefan's line is gnarly.
Castles just sort of randomly pop up out of the ground like mushrooms in Scotland.
Edinburgh University's campus is flat out breathtaking. It also has some nice granite to tear apart.
Some mo' breathtaking shit!

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 6 (2 days late, damn it's after midnight. I am still two days behind)
On the sixth day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Six idiots at Tommy's.
Xmas lights and amazing humans...
all add to the overall brass of the holiday season. A 49er win over the Steelers mixed with a generous portion of celebration ale don't hurt either.
