Does it come in a scented candle?
I no longer have a fireplace.

How about a perfume, cologne or aftershave?
Isn’t this the same thing they did last year?

Yes, as I wrote in the first sentence of the post.

Did you use up all last year’s log? You’re very brave.

It’s a holiday tradition.
My dad used to rewrap the same damn fruitcake every year and give it to a new dupe in the family.

Is that just the really oily gravy with a wick stuck in it, or an actual wax candle that just looks (and presumably smells) like their “gravy”.

I haven’t done the math, but it may be cheaper to just burn a bucket of KFC.

I have no idea, but don’t think there would be any difference between “actual wax” and “oily gravy”. I mean, have you ever tried to eat that gravy?

Careful, burning KFC would definitely cause a chimney fire.

fire log that smells like greasy fried chicken
Why not 3 day old fried fish fire log, could be a real winner.

As “artificial” fire logs go, this is still better than the Xmas Eve televised several-hour loop of a log burning in a fireplace that we in NYC were offered by WPIX. Not altogether a bad idea … given the dearth of fireplaces there… and the understandable need for the WPIX staff to get away and spend time with their own loved ones. (I still wonder about the one or two poor shmucks who had to man the station, though.)

But to be fair, more than a few of us were thinking:
Jesus Fucking Christ, why oh why?
It’s the Freudian slip that we needed to see.
Lutfisk logs for everyone! Gather around family!
