Rocky's school choir performed at the 10th Annual Great Fruitcake Toss in Manitou Springs this morning. After the kids sang 'The Everlasting Fruitcake' the contest began. The first part of the competition was hand tossed fruitcakes. Most of the hardy delicasies were tossed again and again and again without any sign of wear and tear. Rocky managed to toss her fruitcake approximately 50 feet before the weight of the fossilized fruit succumbed to gravity.
Later the heavy artillery was brought out, catapults, slings... and yes, even a giant sling shot! We brought our own launcher but were disqualified on the grounds that explosives were permitted... Agh! Every party needs a pooper I suppose! I wanted to enter the 'Human Fruitcake Toss', but Dickidoo was a bit too heavy for me to lift. Okay, there really wasn't a 'human fruitcake' category, but there should be!
