The lump of coal traditionally was a disciplinary gift in the 1900s where wood and coal chimneys were commonplace. The idea that Santa Claus, krampus, la befana and others are mythological historic figures are tied to chimneys basically reinforces the idea that the kid was naughty so the entity forgot to pack them a gift so instead reached into the chimney for a lump of coal instead.
Thank you guys for coming back, I just had to put both my dogs down within 3 days of each other because of cancer and your videos lend me some nostalgic joy. So merry Christmas and thank you Jeff and Adam
This was like the most ideal brood lord play. Just force the enemy to have to fight an endless wave of no cost no supply because they're going to facetank it. No subterfuge. No flanking. Just face to face mashing.
lagtv, merry christmas. it's a pittance for the entertainment you guys have provided over the years, but go ahead and buy yourselves 3 apples. seriously, thanks for so many epic moments, great laughs, and more fun with a video game than i thought i could have while not playing it.
Used to do figgy pudding at my place when I was young, was tradition to light it on fire with everclear and carry it in like the world's most dangerously disappointing birthday cake
Before electricity, getting coal from Krampus was a way of saying, "you're so poor that you should be happy just to get a lump of cheap coal to not freeze to death".
My grandmother on my dad's side decided to give out a small bag of coal to all of her grandchildren one year. She had gotten it at a gift shop from some historic mine, or steam railroad, and she thought it would be fun and funny. Needless to say, pretty much all of the grandchildren young enough to still believe in Santa, including me and my brother, lost their minds over this.
They do, in fact, have figs. Take figs and boil them in wine, and pound them in a mortar with bread. Mix it up with good wine; boil it. Add good spices and whole raisins. Dress it; decorate it with pomegranate seeds on top. Modern day is actually fruitcake. Straight up.
Honey, nut, fruit (often figs, but idk if thats up to not understanding its just a weird name) and rum flavored pudding. Basically a dense Christmas cake that every region in Europe has its own version of. Traditional English version just happened to be boiled. Panettone is Italy's but has become one of the more popular and widespread version in the new world. Being Veneto, pandoro is ours and is more-less vanilla flavoured brioche cake in the shape of a star. Most of the time it gets eaten with custard and berries. It use to be like Fyghey, but moved to figgy because English. Could also be because of figs popularity during the late medieval period and fig just got battered in place over the centuries. Because English. Pudding is just an old word for steamed/boiled food. Its totally separate in origin from the 'normal' gelatin puddings, but they both borrow the same word as an origin. Because English. Boiled blood sausages, back sausages being the most famous variety, are sometimes called pudding sausages. Somehow pudding came to mean and easy meal item and got added to things that are by definition not puddings. Steak and kidney pudding is just a meat pie.
Figgie puddin? You don't? Figgie puddin'! It's figs, in puddin', in dough. Not bread dough, sugar dough. You had cake before? Add some figs, make a circle, cut them nice, add them when time is right. You know, bake the dough and add figs. Shit's 'spensive.

That was quite the segway from socks
Segue for a transition between topics, segway for the self-balance two-wheeled thingy.
Sweet baby Jesus, that was not consensual!
Those Brood Lords were... doing unholy things.
Before electricity, getting coal from Krampus was a way of saying, "you're so poor that you should be happy just to get a lump of cheap coal to not freeze to death".
*Get your FIGJAM and wel-come to the SLAM*
Merry Christmas
We love a big swarm of brood lords.
I think that "Fig Jam" was in '90, when The Dead played the Copps arena in Hamilton
I just watched "Are All Gaming Chairs a Scam?!" and couldnt belive that my boy MaximusBlack was there on 3:33
Thanks to you guys for bringing back the StarCraft!
Nothing says happy holidays like buttstuff, gg.
Omfg, realised today you guys are not dead yet. I feel ten years younger..... butplay ftw
Great cast guys, keep it up!

Blue Terran's name means
"AssPlay Looking for Coal"😂❤️
Once you guys hit 40, good socks become the gift you want. Don't sleep on good socks.
By the way, fig jam is awesome! My sister, who lives in Canada, makes delicious fig jam.
Figgy pudding much more edible than a " blue waffle "
Happy holidays 🌲❄️♥️
Merry Christmas!
Broodlords with slow lings is wild lol
Wow, haven't seen Brood lords in a hot minute.
Zerg'd!
If u don't get coal u won't fear santa
Anyone else notice Zergling Speed was not researched but Adrenal Glands was?
I noticed they were slow lings, but missed the adrenal glands. That's kinda funny.
zerg was a tier above in terms of macro, took damage but still ended up with a huge supply lead
My siblings got coal--and that was it--for our little sister, who was a terror.
so sad you guys weren't calling apl apple
Lol.🎉
Figgy Pudding is a musical artist of the 90's. Lust for Life was a banger of a song.
Fig sure jammed something into the apl hole.
EDIT: Nope, I can do better...
Gettin' FIggy wit it!
Fun fact about figgy pudding, it doesn't actually use figs (I have no idea what the fuck figgy pudding is).
No one knows what race KKKAMALA Hairyass is either including herself, ain't the world full of mysteries!

Take figs and boil them in wine, and pound them in a mortar with bread. Mix it up with good wine; boil it. Add good spices and whole raisins. Dress it; decorate it with pomegranate seeds on top.

Figjam come on bro
Expected some LAGTV shenanigans with terran blindcountering with libs or vikings or just plain mismanagement by zerg. Nothing of the sort :(
Even bad games are good games. This wasn’t a bad game though. Just saying.
FIGJAM = F*** I'm good, just ask me
I have actually asked for coal in my stocking before because I was into rocks and stuff
We wish Trump didnt say he was going you
Chim-en-y?
I know a guy who got coal once.
Tiny Tim . Scrooge. coal
