We need a DS adjudication on the transitive verb to scramble methinks  rubschin:

Scramble can be transitive or intransitive.

The origin is supposed to be the Anglo Saxon scamble which means to jostle or push around, so transitive use probably came first.

Scrambled egg should always be made with single cream and served with black pepper and button mushrooms.  Drool:

and bacon...
