I just discovered Larsens Danish Kringle. God help me.

I posted this in Thread Length the other day, but this is a better thread for Military Specification Fruitcake.

Currently accepting your unwanted fruitcake. Next week I'll be gone a few days, but after the first of the year, I'll be available for fruitcake intake most days. PM me for dropoff location information.

Why does everyone hate Quark? Quark; what did you do to make everyone hate you? Is it even possible to eat fruitcake let alone "like" it? Doesn't Quark live in Truth or Consequences NM? If not, why lie about living there instead of here? Just a few questions I want clarified

[More Cowbell]

Quark lies.

The Fruit Cake part is mentioned near the end. Jim gives me a good laugh.

Boehm's Chocolates in Issaquah has a really good Kringle, though it sells out fast every year - not sure who bakes it. Larsen's I had in years past, sweet but very delicious. My current favorite though is pannetone bread from Borracchini's Bakery in Rainier Valley, freshly baked and handed over the counter by Mr. Borracchini on a saturday. Light on the fruit, just a few raisins, great bread texture - and less than $6 a loaf, buy two. Merry Christmas everybody.

As most of you will recall, after having been missing for several months last year, Quark was presumed to have eaten her last fruitcake (or anything else lurking under her truck seat, for that matter). After having gone to all the trouble of having a memorial thread (it was the most we could do), Quark was resurrected/reanimated on Halloween 2009. After consulting various experts in the field (as well as ones found elsewhere), it was the general consensus that we are now dealing with a Zombie Quark. I would therefore suggest that anyone planning to meet up with Quark to drop off their refuse fruitcake should take some commonsense precautions: 1. A helmet with a secure locking mechanism; 2. A reliable anti-Zombie weapon (not one of those cheap novelty items); and, 3. Place a label on the fruitcake with BRAIN written large and legibly. In the event that the experts are correct and we are dealing with a Zombie Quark, if she disarms you and while she is delayed at getting your brain by the lock mechanism on your helmet, show her the fruitcake (with the label toward her, of course), then loudly and enthusiastically say "Yummy Brain!!" before throwing it in the direction opposite from your predetermined escape route. Although it is normally unwise to take the risk of meeting with zombies, the opportunity to get rid of fruitcakes will undoubtedly cause many of you to take the gamble with your brain. Just be prepared. P.S. Even if the experts are wrong, it's never a bad idea to wear a helmet around Q. She may have gotten a new iron for Xmas.

Nicely said Z! Good thing I didn't get any fruitcakes this year. Actually, they are forbidden in my family. ALL 10,000 (well, not really but close estimate) of us hate the stuff! If/when I ever come across a fruitcake, I will be sure to read this thread again. There is some good beta in this thread that can save your life!
