that’s the best way to regift fruitcake to the earth. I’m glad Boeing engineers care enough to give back to the planet. That and that’s one sweet air cannon!

ok i always thought fruitcake was one huge joke…….i have never in my life recieved it as a gift or given it, nor have i ever met anyone who has given or recieved it…..who are these people who give fruitcake? is this some kind of phenomenon i am missing out on?

yeah, i’ve seen fruitcake at office parties and it’s as much of a terror as you think it might be. plus, it usually smells funny too.

cool story though. it’s amazing the measures people go to spread the yuletide joy to squirrels.

hey, lay off beating up on the fruitcake already – most of us ‘like’ fruitcake in england!
that ‘funny smell’ is usually something alcoholic like brandy, a good thing, surely?

anyway, if you ‘must’ throw fruitcake around, I have an improvement to suggest… feed it to your least-favourite relative and see how far it’s possible to throw them by mechanical means?

enjoy the rest of the holidays, and a happy new year to you all. :-)

What a waste of perfectly good fruitcake! Shoot it over to my house!

What a waste of food. Give them to a food bank for those who don’t have enough to eat.
