I was sorry to learn that the wonder Fruitcake Lady passed on about 6 weeks ago. She left a legacy of really, really beautiful rejoinders and old-timey comebacks to people calling in to her free-advice program. She's a classic. If youaven't enjoyed the Fruitcake Lady, here are some samples:

A great loss to the civilized world.

Enjoy!

World's oldest shock jock, more like. I hated her bits on Jay Leno. It's not a good sign when someone makes Tom Green's appearances look clever.

I'm sure that she has gone to better place. But she was very entertaining, it reminds me of "ask Elvis in a way

Shame, I only caught up with her last week when someone sent me a clip.

I hate to think what she'll say in answer to St Peter's questions.

Amos, try to send your wishes and thoughts and anything you care to communicate to your lost friend, wherever she may be. This is sometimes very healing.

My best thoughts are with you and your family.

And BTW, d'ya know how to save YouTube videos by any chance?

Thanks Amos. I did enjoy her. Another one gone like the lady in the commercial that use to say "Where's The Beef".

From the sounds of it, I don't think I've missed much in not having known about her. I guess it just proves you can say anything, whether crude, hurtful, or crass, when you get to a certain age. Entertaining to some, I suppose, but not to me.

Susan...by far the easiest way to download these is with YouRipper

It makes a little extra 'address bar' in your browser's title bar, and you just enter the YouTube address and click 'rip'. They just put up a new version.

There's my Bill!

Because:

Can I download videos to watch later?

No. YouTube's video player is designed to be used within your browser as an Internet experience.......

Whereas I always pass on the fruitcake.

So I guess Leno'll have to find another act for his freak show.

RIP, FCL. Happy riffing in the afterlife.

How odd to have helpful advice, offered to a friend in good faith, suddenly thrown back in one's face in a sarcastic vein.

Kat, I'd suggest you watch a couple of the links. She is not a hurtful person, but she is refreshingly honest.

Leno should mourn the passing of the Fruitcake Lady. As it is with her, so it is with his audience. They're all dying off. 90 is about the average age of people still watching that lame show. They should have retired it along with Johnny.

Sorry, Amos, but I watched every one of the links you posted. I didn't mean any offence to you, personally. I thought she was very sarcastic, btw, and crude, etc.

I think the old gal responded the way a lot of us feel we would like to say in some of the questions that are asked in some of the threads that are posted. Stupid dumb ass questions.

Well, I think she's goddam hilarious Amos. The old woman knew a few things and put them to work. RIP Mz.Fruitcake Lady.
