I mailed a fruitcake to a soldier in Iraq

[Skittles]

a one pound eight ounce Entenmann's fruitcake. It's with some other goodies - corn nuts, poptarts, 8-pack of small Kellog cereals. I enclosed a note saying "IF Y'ALL DON'T LIKE FRUITCAKE IT CAN BE PASSED ALL OVER IRAQ".

I bet the poor guys eat the damn thing.

[Ripley]

Did you mail him that guy from the House?

Who called the cops on the Dems a couple of months ago? From Colorado I believe. "You, you fruitcake!!"

That's a nice thing to do Skittles!

1. That wasn't nice, Skittles.

Sheesh. A FRUITCAKE?

Maybe they can use it as an improvised weapons device (whadya call those things?)

:evilgrin:

[Field Of Dreams]

and sent him over to observe his handy work.

Seriously though ... nice gesture on your part! :thumbsup:

some people like fruitcake - I do. It's good sliced really thin, toasted and buttered.

5. They need door-stops in Iraq???

8. Gee Skittles, you sent a citron bomb through the mail?

I hope the poor soldiers have a good sense of humor (or no taste).

Why didn't you send pork rinds and hoarhound candy? Maybe some cod liver oil? Hee Hee.

9. lol.........................

I dunno......the holidays are approaching.......it just seemed appropriate. :7

[LiberalTexan]

11. And, don't forget

Texas is known for its good fruitcakes....we produced Tom Delay and Kay Bailey Hutchinson, didn't we? Or didn't we? :)

I'm sure they'll love the fruitcake. I WOULD if I were over there.

[OneBlueSky]

12. didn't know they let you mail weapons . . .

think about it . . . if he runs our of ammo, he can hurl the fruitcake and knock someone out cold . . . :)

just kidding, I trust you know . . . nice gesture on your part that I'm sure will be appreciated . . .

[lebkuchen]

13. "If you don't like the fucking fruitcake..."

is putting it in soldier language.

[Skittles]

16. actually

that is Skittles language. :7

[tnlefty]

14. So how much was the postage to mail Pickles?

i would think that would cost quite a bit! Wonder if Georgie* will miss his "lump" or notice she's not with him during his visit.

On second thought this might be the most fun that she's had in a while.;-)

[Skittles]

17. priority post, this particular package was just over nine bucks

nothing really :D

[Pastiche423]

15. If anyone else had posted this

I would have responded w/a fruity zinger. As it was Skittles (and I don't want my ass kicked), I will simply say, great job!

[Skittles]

18. I want to kick GOP ass today

I'm sickened by the body count. :(

[bleedingheart]

19. We should all send them fruitcake

its so terrible it might allow them to come home on a medical discharge if they eat it...

;-)

[Skittles]

23. I can honestly say I've never eaten fruitcake

really, it didn't look that bad, but what makes it so freaking heavy?

[DoNotRefill]

20. Ah, hell.....now they WILL find WMDs in Iraq....

BECAUSE YOU SENT ONE TO THEM!!!!

:evilgrin:

[TrogL]

21. I thought you meant MATCOM

[ElsewheresDaughter]

22. skittles you're too funny and a wonderfully good soul

[alcuno]

24. Have they not been punished enough? n/t
