popgun Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Just finished reading all the replies in Andrea's post, (Christmas Survey). One thing that really stands out is that almost everyone hates fruit cake. My wife makes at least one every year and I love them. There are some that we have purchased at the store that aren't very good but still edible. Not all fruit cakes have to be re-gifted to folks on your gift list that you don't really like. Not all fruit cakes work double time as a door stop. In case of a nuclear war, not all fruit cakes will survive. Not all fruit cakes make good raccoon or coyote bait. And finally for the OTPG members; a person does not have to dunk fruit cake in cocoa to make it edible. A good fruit cake does not make a very good target for one of your magnum rifles because the texture is much different than ballistics jell. I am hereby volunteering to judge fruit cakes. If you receive a fruit cake that you do not want, you can send me a pm and I will furnish you with my address. Only unopened or uncut fruit cakes will be judged. (because I do not want to eat one that you first tried to feed to the dog; after all, if your dog won't eat it, why should I?) No fruit cakes will be judged from annonymous donors. Homemade fruit cakes do not get extra points. Now...If no one sends me a fruit cake, I will know that some of you lied on Andrea's survey and are actually closet fruit cake eaters. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Like Larry the Cable Guy said, "how come they can make underwear you can eat, but not a fruitcake?" I have to agree, pretty nasty stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeStandBowHunter Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Sorry, you won't get one from me but that's probably because I don't think I would ever send a fruitcake to someone. I was one who said that I don't like fruitcakes. I don't like fruitcakes and doubt I ever will. But I am being honest;)... I have eaten them in the past and I did not like them. But then again, there aren't too many cakes or cookies I do like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 because I do not want to eat one that you first tried to feed to the dog; after all, if your dog won't eat it, why should I?
