I mailed a fruitcake to a soldier in Iraq
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.

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!

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.

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.

13. "If you don't like the fucking fruitcake..."
is putting it in soldier language.

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.;-)

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!
