Maybe you should get a fruitcake _suppository_ (he said, punning the title of this thread). 😃

Um, bad news **fnord1966**.

I had some friends over last night.  
The fruitcake did not survive the onslaught.  
(Vultures, all of them! There were bits of fruit flying everywhere! Oh, the humanity! Oh, the carnage!)

I can send you the crumbs.

(Fear not, I’m sure I am destined to be blessed with more fruitcakes. Heck, I have friends who gift me with zucchini during the summer.)

Those fruit cakes are tricky things! If you multiply the square root of Heisenberg’s principle by the avg. of Plank’s constant and raise it to **N** th power of Special Relativity, you’ll get an idea of just how fast those fruit cakes are!

Hey fnord… if there’s any over flow I would be happy to store some of them for you… for a price of course.

I was thinking of using that title, It probably would have goten more views, but I didnt want it getting sidetracked into the Anal Insertion thread.

I like fruitcake. I do not care how dry it is. I like fruitcake.

Then again, I did go to boarding school for four years, so perhaps that explains it.

I also like fruitcake. Don’t know why it gets such a bad rap, other than it doesn’t taste good once it’s old.  
(Well, what the hell food does? I don’t like tainted steak, either!)
