Piano. Gee thanks Jox, thought I'd avoided the flying fruitcake this year, how wrong was I. I'll try finding someone who hasn't had it yet to pass it along to, but then again, seeing as how this goes back to "at least" 2004 it should be pretty nicely matured by now so I may just hang onto it, with a bit of brandy custard it should go down a treat.

I was going to pass it on to MG or Vox, but they haven't been on in a while so I didn't want to be mean and have them be stuck with it.

I thought you were keeping it on purpose Kat. Anyone who can handle vegemite might actually like nice ripe fruitcakes.

He's saving the fruitcake to use as brick, and the Vegemite is the mortar to hold it together. Yes, Katina? (Hey, btw, guess what I saw the other day...guess, guess, guess. A sugar glider!!! So cute and soft! And a kookaburra too, which is also cute and oh-so-LOUD. Oh my, how can you people sleep down there!)

I remember a song from when I was young about a Kookaburra in a gum tree - but it didn't say anything about them being loud or boisterous. I know some of the exotic parrots get loud and people aren't prepared to deal with that so many are not cared for properly. I take it the Kookaburra was a pet in someone's home? I've known a couple of people who had sugar gliders and they said the same thing you did - they're very soft like a chinchilla.

Fruit I thought you were keeping it on purpose Kat. Anyone who can handle vegemite might actually like nice ripe fruitcakes. Yeah Step' I am keen on fruitcake [ the older the better ] so I may just "forget" to pass it on again next year as well. He's saving the fruitcake to use as brick, and the Vegemite is the mortar to hold it together. Yes, Katina? Hey I know you're not into New Year's Resolutions Gams but I have one you could try ...... to stop taking the mickey out of our national pride and joy, namely the culinary delight known as Vegemite. No on second thoughts that's probably one resolution you'd never be able to keep, so just forget my suggestion and carry on. (Hey, btw, guess what I saw the other day...guess, guess, guess. A sugar glider!!! So cute and soft! And a kookaburra too, which is also cute and oh-so-LOUD. Oh my, how can you people sleep down there!) Apples I gotta guess? Okay then, a Wombat? Yeah they are cute that's for sure, Sugar Gliders I mean and not Wombats, though they're kinda cute as well in a roly-poly kind of way. sugargliderpet.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/sugar-glider-breeders.jpgpetsareourpassion.com/clients/3668/images/sugarglider_thumb.gifand a roly-poly Wombat ..... www.abc.net.au/reslib/200803/r234995_944443.jpgWhere did you see it, I'm guessing one didn't glide all the way over to the U.S of A. The Kookaburra certainly has a distinctive call [ laugh ] doesn't it. If you've ever watched old Tarzan movies [ or Jungle Jim ] you would have heard it, there was always one in the soundtrack ..... always made me wonder how they migrated to Africa. Oh yeah, a word .............. Sweet.

One of the bakeries down here makes fruitcakes that I like. They're not the traditional round cake that most people envision - these are shaped more like a long box of thin mints. They're pretty good and I buy at least one a year. I managed to keep it down to just one which is a good thing as far as my waist line is concerned. A TV show on a week or so before Christmas included a long segment about fruitcakes. A supervisor at the factory where fruitcakes were being made said they start making them 7 to 8 months before they'll be sold so the flavors can seep throughout the cake. I don't know the real shelf life of a fruitcake, but it's longer than I thought since they are already nearly a year old before they're sold. Ya know, we should send a fresh one to Phalon so she can find out what she's missing!

Hey! He started it! <looks angelically innocent and points at Stepper>
I'm not sure if they (there was a trio) glided here or not, but the sugar gliders and kookaburra were part of an Australian wildlife program I took BP to see at a children's museum the other day. It was pretty cool, but I was kinda disappointed after hearing so much about it from you, that they didn't have a deadly enchilada.
Although we went to lunch afterward and I had a killer meatball sandwich.
Ba-da-boom. (and eye-roll)
Uhm...thanks for thinking of me; you are truly too kind. But no thanks. Besides, there is no such thing as fresh fruitcake.

Phalon has misspoken, but kind soul that I am I'll fix this for her...she meant to say "looks and points at angelically innocent Stepper". She is forgiven for her faux pax because I am in a forgiving mood and it's the first day of the year - nice way to start the year huh! How you gonna eat up those leftovers if you keep going out and dining? You can't feed it ALL to boyfriend ya know.

Hey! He started it! <looks angelically innocent and points at Stepper> Yeah he did, "this" time. I'm not sure if they (there was a trio) glided here or not, but the sugar gliders and kookaburra were part of an Australian wildlife program I took BP to see at a children's museum the other day. It was pretty cool, Did they have one of our venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed egg-laying mammals on display? but I was kinda disappointed after hearing so much about it from you, that they didn't have a deadly enchilada. No, you'll never see one of those outside Australia because of a world wide travel ban placed on them since 'that' day. Many years ago we sent two pair to an exhibition in Europe, somehow they managed to get loose in mid flight and ........ well I won't go into detail here on a family board but needless to say it wasn't pretty. Now I realise you're a 'bit' skeptical of my claims about their destructive capabilities, so here's an extract from a site called Australian-Wildlife. ...... Name The name echidna derives from the Greek ekhis meaning 'she-viper' and refers to the mythological "mother of all monsters". .... The "mother of all monsters" now I ask you, could any animal be more aptly named. Although we went to lunch afterward and I had a killer meatball sandwich. Ba-da-boom. (and eye-roll) LOL, ya keep whippin' em in Gams. One of the bakeries down here makes fruitcakes that I like. They're not the traditional round cake that most people envision - these are shaped more like a long box of thin mints. They're pretty good and I buy at least one a year.

Ya know, we should send a fresh one to Phalon so she can find out what she's missing! Looks like you and I are the only ones who appreciate a nice aged fruitcake Step' everyone else seems to turn their noses up at them for some reason.

They did, they did - but only in the slide presentation because, I'm sure, they were worried about the safety of the audience in the presence of such a venomously deadly creature. (They are strange things, aren't they?)
Do we have a word going somewhere around here? It seems to have been lost in all the animal/fruitcake droppings.

We do in fact have a word madam P, but the last person posting that word forgot the magic signal and didn't bold it. I won't mention any names so as not to embarrass her...unless the last word was he instead of Fairy which means I should be embarrassed because it was appropriately bolded...but being a fruitcake - I"m not embarassed at all. Next word: Tale <= Note the bold - works pretty good huh!

(They are strange things, aren't they?) Strange indeed, apparently when first reported back in Europe they were considered to be a hoax as they couldn't believe any animal could have so many strange characteristics. Camelot.
