If you think the terminal looks like chaos, you should see what the roads around it look like at this hour.

Is that some kind of artillery shell?

Have never heard those things referred to as artillery shells. But I guess with the powerful batteries that we have today, they might just act like one.......

I wish I had a dollar for every uneaten fruitcake in this country, or a dime for every uneaten KFC muffin.

Aunt Ella, is that you??

Mr. FourPeas maiden aunt is the only person I've ever heard of who actually admits to liking fruitcake. I've always assumed it was genetic.....

I think your images are really fantastic. I've noticed a few of other threads and they all hit home.

Fruitcake made by the monks at Assumption Abbey is the very best in the entire world, bar none.

Apparently, the x-ray was of an old guy in England who had bad piles, and used to shove them back up with an old arty shell he had laying around.

One day, however, it got stuck, and he had to go to teh hospital. The doctor, before attempting to extract it, said something to the effect of "It's not real, right?" to which the old man said "No. It could blow a Messerschmidt out of the sky..."

So, they called the bomb squad...

I like one particular fruitcake: the one made by the monks at Assumption Abbey, Ava Missouri.

Yippee, I'm not alone!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sniff. I've felt like I've been living a lie.

And Hi! to your discerning Aunt Ella :)
