Exclamation The Immortal "Fruitcake" of Christmas.

I was thinking to dump this into religion, but thought it more fitting here [ducks the Ericgtr schythe].

Watching this comercial [not sure what they were pimping] I thought about the immortal- and infamous, fruitcake people give that no one wants, and the idea of pasing it along to others who likewise don't want it, to eventually find its way to the original giver. It's a metaphore for those psycho zombie killers [Jason, Michael Myers, et al] than just never seems to die. It's such a horror of the hollidays that maybe it should be bumped to Halloween instead.

Questions?
Comments?
Insults?

on one occasion I was giving this fruit arrangement made to look like a bouquet of flowers ..... But other than that People know better than to give me any type of food gift,because I'm very picky about what I eat.

I love fruitcake. I've never understood why everyone doesn't.

I could never get over the smell of a fruitcake let alone the taste. But I know what Heretic means about the "passing" of the fruitcake. Is that why we call other emotional/mental people, friends, and relatives "fruitcakes?" Pass them on and let them rot. Makes sense.

I knew you'd "do the math" on that one. Stoners think alike.

For me it's the way the fruit looks.

Like they plasticoated it ....or something

It looks like they mixed up ornaments in it.
I expect they had the real fruit on the tree?

The cake itself isn't that bad, but it's all that shit they pour into it. What the fuck!?

But yeah, I think you're onto something. A litle fruity in the head has a dangerous association with fruitcake.
