DS Holiday Party for omphale23 by <user site="livejournal.com"

The centerpiece was truly appalling. Pink, with brown glaze and unacceptably crunchy burnt bits bristling at the edges. It was spiral cut, and most attendees at the consulate event appeared to be enjoying it.

"It is a foreign country, son," Fraser Senior's ghost, in full formal attire reminded Fraser Minor from his perch next to the raven above the fireplace. "Perhaps things are done differently here."


"This is not a foreign country, this is a consulate of Her Majesty's Dominion of Canada, and there is no excuse, Dad." Fraser muttered, rubbing his eyebrow. "Good evening, General. Yes, lovely weather we've had. Good! Glad you liked it!" The US Air Force General passed on to the visiting hockey icons to engage in further small talk. "That is not ham, nor bacon, nor any other product that has ever seen the inside of a pig. It is a disgrace, and it has no business gracing the table of this reception."

"Now, son, really. Anyone would think it was a threat to national security."

"It is. No less a threat than Turnbull's attempts to do higher math under the influence of sobriety."

"Son, it's just a roast."

"No, dad. That is not a roast. That is a Tofurkey. It is masquerading as a honey roasted ham, and that is misrepresentation of its business. That's a felony. And by God, by the end of the evening, I will arrest it, as I throw it out into the trash dumpster on American soil where it belongs."

Fraser Sr did not appear shaken. He had heard these rants before, usually from Caroline. So he invoked her favorite English hymn, and wandered off to find the egg nog. "Tidings of comfort and joy to you too, son. Happy Christmas."

"Bah. Humbug."

Oh, I love this! I detest tofurkey, and this is a great little exchange between the Frasers.

"It is. No less a threat than Turnbull's attempts to do higher math under the influence of sobriety."

*snerk*

That is a Tofurkey. It is masquerading as a honey roasted ham, and that is misrepresentation of its business. That's a felony.

Of course Fraser wouldn't go so far as to call it a crime against humanity--but this is the Canadian equivalent, right?

Thanks so much, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. This is really cool!
