What are you're plans

for that fruitcake you get this time of year?
Not the family member/friend, but that 1 or 2 pound cake loaf.
You know? The stuff they made when Washington was president.

Put it on a fence post and use it as a target for that new gun you got for christmas?

Use it as a wheel block?

Or do you eat it?

A local all-news radio station did a segment on fruitcakes, yesterday.
They put them (one-at-a-time) on a table and shot at them with different caliber firearms.

.22 lr (bullet passed right through - no real damage to the cake)
.357 (fruitcake blown apart!)
.308 (fruitcake blown apart)
Last, but not least. . . . 12 ga. shotgun!!!!!! (Fruitcake vaporized!!!!!)

What really burned me up was their last comment.
"Finally, we've gotten the 'gun nuts' and the 'fruitcakes' together!"

My thoughts were. . . . Yeah, Your momma!

When I was a kid in E. Tennessee, we really liked fruitcake. But, as a kid, we were verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry poor. Any 'cake' treat was just that. A treat!

Today. . . they make a good boat anchor.

i'm going to name it.
after hrs of thought i think the appropriate name is Dono. i won't shoot it, trash it, or stomp it. i'll just put it on the counter and scream at it every time i get pissed at something. if it starts to mildew, i'll send it to Hillary

My Mum made the best fruitcake

light or dark..plenty of Fine Rum/Brandy/etc .....fresh ingredients and aged 3 years before eating it.
There was always a constant supply.

Unfortunately, I have to settle for store bought now
