I’ll be getting a fruitcake for Christmas from my brother. It’s a really cheap fruitcake, more cake than fruit. It is at least 26 years old and still looks to be edible.
We’ve been giving it back and forth to each other for that long. Actually, it’s not the fruitcake, it’s the way we wrap it. Concrete, glued inside a split tree trunk, wrapped in 50 lbs of rubber, welded into a steel box etc. I work for an adhesive company and he is a shop and engineering teacher. We’ve both got access to some cool stuff. Last year, he got it from me in a Rubbermaid bin embedded in layers of rocks and really strong glue. The really fun part is, we live 600 miles apart, so in addition to making it, we gotta figure out how to transport it.
LOL!
What a great saga...Assume that you both have photos over time. Publish them to youtube. What a hoot.
Is there just the one, allowing the most recent sender to rest, recuperate, and conceive of new infernal contraptions?
