There's a town near me, Corsicana, Texas. In that town is a bakery, The Collin Street Bakery. A shop known for it's fruitcakes. Stollen, in particular.
The bakery was the recipient of the President's "E" Award.
The bakery was founded in 1896 by August Wiederman, an immigrant from Wiesbaden, Germany With the help of local entrepreneur Tom McElwee, the bakery soon outgrew its original building, and required a new one in which the second floor was turned into a hotel. Celebrities such as Enrico Caruso and Will Rogers were sighted at the bakery, and in 1914 the Ringling Brothers Circus passed through town and ordered dozens of fruitcakes as Christmas gifts to be mailed to friends and family across the globe. In this way, the bakery entered the mail-order business.
Lee William "L. W." McNutt, Sr. (1895-1972), Harry Cook, and Bob Rutherford purchased the bakery in 1946 from August Wiederman.
In reference to the mail order business started in 1947, bakery employees copied names and addresses from a myriad of phone books for "prospecting" list. Lee William McNutt, Jr. (1925-2006), initiated a direct marketing campaign to international customers.
Under his direction, the bakery began accepting orders by mail, phone, fax, and online. He also pioneered the use of a computerized database and fine-tuned shipping methods to make delivery of the cakes more efficient. The third generation CEO, Robert Pritchett "Bob" McNutt (born 1957) has continued to refine all of these methods adopted by his father, L. W. McNutt.
Thomas Max McNutt (born 1990), a graduate of Texas A&M University in College Station, is the bakery vice president. A fourth-generation family member, he ran unsuccessfully for the Texas House of Representatives in the Republican primary election held on March 1, 2016. He lost by 222 votes to the long-term incumbent Byron Cook, also of Corsicana.
Some of its longterm clients are the The Ringling Bros Circus, Monaco's Princess Caroline also places an annual order, continuing her mother, Princess Grace's tradition of a Christmas DeLuxe fruitcake for their family and friends. Hilton Hotels are a longtime customer, as is Master Builders, S.A. of Brussels, Belgium. Also counted in the above group is Madison Square Garden and Vanna White. The company rejected an order from Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini following the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. The DeLuxe Fruitcake is shipped to all countries except Cuba and Iran.
In 1998, Collin Street Bakery hired a bookkeeper, Sandy Jenkins. Jenkins was promoted to the controller in 2004 when he earned approximately $50,000 per year. Before being caught in 2013, Jenkins embezzled over $17 million. A movie about the scandal starring Will Ferrell and Julianne Moore has been in pre-production since the Covid-19 pandemic began. The film is slated to be titled Fruitcake.
Nichols had cement walking trails put around Nichols Green Park and embedded a mile and a half of it with actual nickels. Within a couple days all the crackheads in Jacksonville, Tx had chiseled them all out, leaving pitted cement as a token of their appreciation.
The park is a homeless camp in part now. He just so happened to donate the land just before running for office. Made a fortune selling cap guns, which is a good metaphor.
Just so happens all the city land in J-ville is being sold off to pay for a 700,000$ civic center upgrade, which ain't to many folks excited about.
What the fuck is the deal with baguettes everywhere right now? Weirdest psyop so far.
Wasn't expecting some of those anecdotes :)
Loved it, thank you.
On a positive note, Cowboys stomped the York Giants 40-0 last night.
Comms? Maybe.
For 1 year in 4 month blocks.
Trust Barr 😉
That's the normie spirit 👍
In my opinion, most expiration dates are to sell more product, not protect the consumer.

Mark Zuckerberg snapped up more land in Hawaii for $17 million, adding to his controversial 1,500-acre estate on Kauai
My mistake, thank you!
Good intel, thanks for patrolling beyond the wire. 👍
Coincidental:
Tell him his character is being tested and ask him how he would grade himself.
Both dates add up to 17. 🤔

I think I like that Q post # as much as you do 😉
Rob Peters?
"To rob Peter to pay Paul",[1] or other versions that have developed over the centuries such as "to borrow from Peter to pay Paul", and "to unclothe Peter to clothe Paul",[2][3] are phrases meaning to take from one person or thing to give to another, especially when it results in the elimination of one debt by incurring another.[4] There are many other variants and similar phrases in numerous languages.[5] "Maneuvering the Apostles", which has the same meaning, was derived from this expression.[6][7] In patchwork, "Rob Peter to pay Paul" is an alternative name for the Drunkard's Path patchwork block.[8]
In general, a trust is a relationship in which one person holds title to property, subject to an obligation to keep or use the property for the benefit of another.
A trust is formed under state law. You may wish to consult the law of the state in which the organization is organized. Note that for a trust to qualify under section 501(c)(3) of the Code, its organizing document must contain certain language.

Just wanted to throw an alternate meaning out there for consideration.
This guy lifts boats.👍
