Now there’s some good old fashioned nightmare fuel! :eek:
So do they make a chocolate fruitcake?
Hmm…
My grandma used to make chocolate-covered fruitcake cookies. She’d bake a very dense fruitcake, cut it into small cookie-sized triangles, and dip them in chocolate. Shudder, shudder.
She’d also make chocolate rum balls that she used to mail to us. When it was time to open the box, the flodfather would remind us to stand clear and extinguish all smoking materials :eek:
Lynn, are you OK? Feeling good? No headaches, memory loss or anything?
I only ask because you said that you like good fruitcake. Everybody knows that there’s no such thing, and hallucinations are a bad sign.
Anybody that makes chocolate rum balls is a saint and should be worshipped accordingly.
Me, I’m making up a batch of chocolate bourbon balls just in case I piss Lynn off.
Ha, Philistine! Airman, I loves ya, so it pains me to see that you have been deprived of the gustatory delight of a truly yummy fruitcake. Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky (Thomas Merton’s monastery) makes a kick-ass fruitcake which is marinated in bourbon and loaded with fruit and nuts.
Sure, there are really bad, gluey, disgusting fruitcakes out there, but tasting a really good fruitcake is one of the great pleasures of the Christmas season.
Great, now gobear is in denial. I’d better found Fruitcakes Anonymous toot sweet before this addiction gets out of hand.
Not to damper Airman’s stance, but there’s also Collin Street Bakery here in Texas that makes the most excellent fruitcakes (and sells to them too! ;)) that’s even garned world-wide attention. They’re pretty darn yummy and I bet Lynn’d really LOVE those.
Hey, I’m not even remotely a fan and I like 'em.
hopefool, the first step in beating your addiction is admitting to it.
Remember, folks, beating fruitcake addiction is easy, as long as you take it one Christmas at a time.
How do you get banned?
(besides the written rules)
- Starting a thread like this.
- Using bad grammar if you’re a newbie. That really lowers your credibility.
- Attacking popular posters, regardless if you’re wrong or right.
- Two words: Sock Puppet
- Starting a thread like this.
- Lying about being in a certain organization that you are not in.
- Harassing people outside of the MB.
- Saying “someone farted” in every thread.
- Having a user name like “20usernames”
- Going to an ethnic board asking what’s their favorite type of ethnic food.
- Having conversations between your sock puppets.
- Starting fights with your sock puppets.
- Starting a thread like this.
I got banned for flaming ALDERBERAN in GDs rather than in The Pit.
Well he really got on my nereves and I just lost it totally.
Anyway after much grovelling, whining, snivelling and such, after about 3 days my posting privs were restored with a stern reminder TO WATCH IT.
I have been so squeaky clean since then I’m getting rusty
There’s also the “one-trick pony” rule: Don’t post on only one topic and drag it into every thread you post on; i.e. Jack Dean Tyler.
Themis00, I would venture to say that you’re wrong, starting a thread like this will not get you banned.
As you might have noticed, the lovely Lynn Bodoni, Admin, has posted in this thread and not banned the OP.
I’m bemused by the tone here. What is so objectionable about “a thread like this?”
{Foghorn Leghorn voice}
It’s a joke,son!

Males can be virgins too :(. But have a virtual hot chocolate on me anyway.
I enjoy SMDB very much. But there is a lot of censorship here, and many moderators are narrow minded in their Political Correctness. Lynn Bodini is a chief censor. She loves to ban people with opposing viewpoints, ban them and call it hate speech. Her and Stalin would of made a wonderful couple.
DO not post anything about sexuality, religion, or politics unless they are from a liberal viewpoint.
Do not post anything about file sharing. Do not post about doing anything illegal, such as "I live in Hooterville, where do I score a (bag, woman, gun etc.). One should not do this anyway.
Be a liberal and you will be OK!
GRADY
Copyright violations, the hiring of prostitutes, the smoking of marijuana, the (presumabley) illegal aquisition of firearms, these are not activities that a conservative engages in.
Except maybe on Thursdays, but that’s our ‘day off’…
Heh. You know, a post like this is always a flag for me…so I did a little checking around. This is at least your fifth name on the SDMB, and I didn’t ban all of the others. So it isn’t that I’m particularly a censor (believe me, if I banned everyone I disagreed with, this would be a much, much smaller board), but that YOU have had problems with more than one moderator here in the past. And you’re still not welcome here.
But thanks for calling my attention to you, pity I didn’t check you out earlier.
