Since no one ever eats fruit cake, every piece that exists today comes from the world’s first fruit cake created back in 36 BC. :-)..(and no Liberace jokes, guys. This is a family strip…)
In the spirit of true pickiness, I am going to chastise Lio: while his use of the fruitcake is clever, he ruins it all by nailing his stocking through-and-through, making it impossible to open it for the insertion of any gift! —Well, maybe a Slim Jim….
So a fruitcake is good for more than just a doorstop.
@A Common ‘tater I personally consider it a heinous crime to do something like that to a good single malt. Use well whiskey, as if you’d be able to tell otherwise.
My mother used to make Refrigerator Fruitcake (so named because it had to set in the fridge for 3 weeks). Fruit, nuts, gram crackers, butter, honey and mollasass; it was great!
Our 10th annual Fruitcake Festival in Independence Ca, “Saturday Night Fruitcake Fever” was a huge success! The historic American Legion Hall was decorated with strobe lights and walls simulating a disco ball (foil emergency blankets!) and we all bake a yummy and edible “cake with fruit”. Eggnog, dancing, an awesome MC, the Fruitcake King, and good company from the local folks and some who travel hundreds of miles each year for the party. Our tiny town of 600 rocks!
This would be funnier if Lio were using the fruitcake to hammer in the nail! Of course, there’s a huge difference between the store-bought monstrosities and real fruitcakes, which I personally like a couple times a year. (About as often as egg nog.)

i totally agree, or even a good long rum soak works for a fruit cake
