Actually, I once saw a landmine destroyed when a soldier dropped a fruitcake sent by his grandmother on it. The fruitcake survived the experience intact, apart from one miniscule piece of fruit that separated from the cake and lodged itself in his cornea. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
After a large scale exchange of thermonuclear weapons, only roaches and fruit cake survive. Then the roaches starve.
Glad you liked it. I have a hard time picking between Palmolive and Arko for my best value in shaving. I know Arko can be had a bit cheaper, and I do enjoy the scent, but I still much prefer the scent of Palmolive. The Palmolive just tickles something in my memory of my childhood. It feels so comforting to me when I use it. Both are great.
My stick is from Germany. I got it from @BaylorGator as part of my Shavey Award. I don't know if it is current production, but the ones listed on IB are from Germany as well. My Palmolive Menthol cream is from Italy. Both are excellent.
OCtober!!! October 24 Razor - Gillette NEW LC Delta Echo Blade - (2) Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat Brush - 30DC LE Post - Alum Using this combo makes it very easy to write a shave report. Here it is in one word. Superb. Or, how about.......incredible. Perfect. BBS. Spectacular. Well, you get the idea. I have to give at least partial credit to the Sharp Star blade. Finest NOS blade on the planet. And the New LC with MWF from the LE brush - it's a lot of initials that all spell WOW! Have a great day!
We could soften the fruitcake up by soaking it in the Veg. At least it would smell wonderful that way. Terrible waste of an awesome after shave though.
I just repeated the joke. It's like every other food. Some are good, some are awful. But, bad fruitcake is really bad....
I think it is likely that those candied cherries in many fruitcakes are secretly marinated in the Veg. That would explain the colour, the taste and the longevity. edit- I see Neal just came up with a similar joke. Great minds...
If you could tell us what good fruitcake is, I would consider stop using that as an excellent example of an oxymoron.
I can't speak to others, but the longevity of my Grandmothers fruitcake was due to copious amounts of bourbon.
Yes, a homemade fruitcake soaked in some sort of alcoholic beverage can be very good. Although apparently you need to control the amount of alcohol. I remember my Dad being really excited when I was around 7 or 8 because someone had made a homemade fruitcake and he soaked it in brandy. Lots of brandy. As in....I think it was an explosive hazard once he stopped soaking it. I only got to taste a tiny piece of it because I was deemed too young to be drunk from cake.
