Jaeger Sports increases Barry Zito’s velocity by 10 MPH by long tossing fruitcakes:

Woodland Hills Ca 12/27/2007. Jaeger Sports demonstrated today a new technique for increasing pitchers velocity by over 10% by long tossing fruitcakes. “We have been studying ways to increase pitchers velocities for several years and were running out of ideas” said Alan Jaeger President and CYA of Jaeger Sports. (Chief Yoga Aficionado)

“Last year I received 3 fruitcakes for Christmas and I just did not know what to do with them. This lead me the think about my biggest fruitcake client, which of course is Barry Zito” said Allen. “As you all know Barry has a killer curveball but his fastball velocity has not been where he wanted it so it made perfect sense to me”

“Barry has been working out with my new FLT (Fruitcake Long Toss) technique for the past two months and his fast ball velocity has gone from 82MPH to over 92MPH during this period of time” “The results have been staggering” said Barry “I only have to spend one-half hour per day working out with the fruitcakes, which allows me much more time to hang out at the beach, chase girls, surf and think about ways to spend my one hundred and twenty-five million dollars”

Barry demonstrated the FLT at Jaeger Sports winter camp this morning in front of over 100 pitchers from around the country. Said one CAdad “Heck if my son can increase his velocity this much who cares about first pitch strikes” A Bobblehead from Canada said “ If my son can increase his velocity this much he might even give up hockey” Trhit from the Connecticut said “ I don’t give a **** about Fruitcakes, we all know everyone from California is a Fruitcake”

The leading expert in pitchers arm care, Dr. Frank Jobe, said “I believe the increase in velocity is due to the fact that it asymmetrically works out the muscles with out putting stress on the UCL, Labrum and ulna. It does not seem to effect the VCL, WCL and ZCL, in fact all of the CL’s are not affected, except for the UCLA of course”

Allen will be releasing a new DVD on the FLT technique next month. The new DVD called “Fruitcakes a Flyin” will be available exclusively from Jaeger Sports at www.flyingfuitcakes.com

Fruitcake the latest banned item on airlines

CTV.ca News Staff

Holiday travellers packing one of the season's traditional fruitcakes had better hope their journey's short. Transport Canada says the festive confections are not welcome on the nation's airplanes.

The ban is not, as one might suspect, the punchline to a joke about old, dried-out fruitcakes making lethal weapons.

That would be in bad taste.

According to the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, fruitcakes are being banned because they are notoriously difficult to identify on the X-ray scanners used to inspect air travellers' luggage.

And that, according to the agency's Jacques Duchesneau, means the otherwise innocent cake could prompt unnecessary security alerts and subsequent delays.

The fruitcake is just the latest in long list of items banned from travellers luggage in the wake of the September, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.

OK got to put this in both threads. Thanks P&Cmom for the inspiration.

John Doyle of Baseball Training Secrets introduces revolutionary work out program utilizing fruitcakes.

12/28/07 Long Island NY. After seeing the dramatic success of Jaeger Sports “Fruitcakes a Flyin” John Doyle is following up with a program directed toward full body conditioning. “After seeing the dramatic improvement in Barry Zito’s fastball utilizing Fruitcakes we figured that they might have some benefits in full body conditioning, and boy were we surprised at the results” “Our controlled studies indicated that when using Fruitcakes properly trained athletes can expect a 10% increase in overall strength and power over non Fruitcake athletes”

“I have been looking for the “Holy Grail” of baseball strength and conditioning training for years and was shocked to find it in my grandmothers kitchen” “For some reason Fruitcakes unlock the hidden “force production” enzymes that build up in muscles during ballistic exercises. Fruitcakes seem to draw out these enzymes and allow the muscle fibers to explode with the additional power” I am simple amazed at the results added John.

John demonstrated his program at the SPARK training facility in Southern California today. “We figured the best place to introduce our program was where we could find the most Fruitcakes, which of course is in California” “SPARK is actually considering adding in our Fruitcake Flinging into their testing regime” said SPARK spokesperson Sparky Anderson “We have found that Fruitcake Flinging is the most direct representation of a baseball athletes potential over any other measurement we have been able to come up with” Added Sparky.

“The results on actual athletes have been amazing. P&Cmoms middle school’s son was recently recruited by Virginia Tech to be their closer for next season. “He’s only 12 but he is just touching 90 now, so we figure by next season he should be hitting mid 90’s” said John. CAdad’s said “ Heck if my son can throw that hard who cares about first pitch strikes” BOFjr said “Heck if I can jump higher than six inches I might actually have a chance in Basketball and might consider switching sports” Always the antagonist TRhit said” I don’t give a **** about Fruitcakes, we all know everyone from New York is a Fruitcake”

John’s revolutionary new program “Pylometrics for Fruitcakes” will be available exclusively at the SPARK training facility in Los Angeles. “We figured the best place to launch our program was the Fruitcake Capital of the world, which of course is LA” said John. It will also be available in February at www.pylometricfruitcakes.com

This is for real...the picture wouldn't take...


The M-63

Back as early as 400 BC catapults were used to hurl the vilest of projectiles: Rocks, arrows, cow manure, diseased horse carcasses, barrels of venomous snakes, wasps nest, the heads of captured prisoners, but perhaps the most notorious missile of all may be...the fruitcake. Designer Dave Myers is the architect of the M-63 Fruitcake remover. It’s an Industrial-grade slingshot style catapult powered by the ample potential energy stored in 36 feet overextended surgical rubber tubing. The Machine has a yoke 10 feet across and two large people are required to **** the spring. The trigger is similar to a sailplane hitch release. Myers built this machine large and strong because it has an important job to do. See fruitcakes are hard to get rid of. The specific density of fruitcake is equivalent to mahogany. It’s the one gift that the US Postal Service has not found a way to destroy in transit. And you simply cannot flush a fruitcake. Hence the M-63. One year the M-63 sent a fruitcake more than 300 feet (short porch).
