"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Fruitcake without the fruit wouldn't be a million miles from Peperkoek. Although, drier. They sometimes have it at Whole Foods, or Trader Joe's, when 'tis the season.

Generic, store-bought fruitcake is, I suspect, the root cause of America's distrust of the fruitcake. There are some things that cannot be mass-produced. Some things that should never be made "Shelf-Stable". Until they install brandy spritzers in every grocery store in the country, fruit cake is one of those things.

What's with all the fruitcake talk? I don't think Bush is going to go with Brown.

My husband's grandfather's fruitcake was so liquor-y that he stored it in mason jars. That fruitcake was very popular.

I don't know, waiting for indictments feels all Christmassy.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Suddenly I am flashing back to the best dessert I ever had, which was a chocolate steamed cake, very rich and hot, with caramel drizzled on top. Want.

I don't have an objection to fruits in dessert, but neon cubes are not fruits.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am a freak who dislikes the taste of alcohol, so any brandy, rum or liqueur soaked desserts give me the screaming willies.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My grandfather makes a fruitcake every year and I always eat a piece, but it's more out of politeness than actually enjoying it.

ION, the cafeteria had salmon (one of the only seafoods I actually like) with lemon butter as well as fried mushrooms on the menu today. I am enjoying them both muchly.

This is exactly why we need more funding for genetically engineered food research.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you eat too much, you get brain damage?
