Fruitcake is the Lamas Bread of our world

[tonym]

I like fruitcake. And I was sitting here thinking about fruitcake because I don't have any fruitcake when something occured to me. Fruitcake is very filling. And then something else occured to me. Fruitcake doesn't mold. And then a third thing occured to me. Fruitcake is the modern-day lamas bread! (...the elf-bread from Lord of the Rings.)

Think about it: fruitcake is extremely filling (it sits in your stomache like a lump of clay), it lasts forever in a backpack or kitchen cabinet, and nearly everybody dislikes its taste. Lamas bread!

Sounds like Pratchett's dwarf bread to me. Can you use it as a weapon? You could probably get dwarf bread as a special material when making weapons, although it'll only do Bludgeoning damage.

So it's a fruitcake filled delerium that fuels Zogonia and Mt Zogon, eh?

I wouldn't know. I refuse to read those books. There's too darn many of them in the series.

Tolkein. *sigh* Now that guy knew when to stop cramming your bookshelf full of books.

Hmm. Perhaps, assuming fruitcake can build-up in your brain, like aluminum.

Aluminum can build up in your brain? Is that why the Tin-man needed a new one?

Of course that would explain the talking mushroom. In my opinion of the funniest comic around.

The Discworld books are not one series. They're four (Death, Witches, Night Watch, and Rincewind) and some standalones. And almost every book largely stands on it's own; it's not like pterry leaves them off hanging on cliffhangers.

Oh yeh. Aluminum can totally accumulate in your brain, and seems to contribute to Alzheimers Disease and other more disturbing neurological problems, like watching the O'Reilly Factor.

It's not nice making fun of the Tin-man's handicap.

It is my dream that one day, perhaps Thursday or a week from Sunday, people of all heights and eye colors will no longer persecute the differently-brained animated constructs of our imaginations.

That's odd. I must be confusing him with Danielle Steele.
