I'm sure they started out
as "Waleedies", but over centuries, it
got corrupted to "Weedies".
Ultimately, everyone just said of the
fruitcakes to "always eat your
weedies." :)
> I just wanted to make you aware that
there is an alarming amount of your
populace being
converted to Waleedinism a very strong
and Chrismatic group soon to righten
all wrongs and
deliver amoungst the believers the
bountifull blessing of the endless
fruit cake. Beware
your salvation is at hand (for a low
cost of a few gold coins)
