Fake Peanut Brittle Can

Somewhere to hide when the sock Gestapo come for you
 
(+2, -2)
  [vote for,

The Fake Peanut Brittle Can is a secret recognition symbol among terrorists. If you have one in your house then you need to remove it immediately... even if it's a real one and just looks fake.

If you don't remove it then there's a pretty good chance that your socks and underwear will be confiscated.

The unseemly worship of Fake Peanut Brittle Cans has become so prevalent that authorities on several small South Pacific islands are reporting instances of the resurgence of cargo cults, much like those of WWII.

The steady rain of Fake Peanut Brittle Cans, from the sky, gave rise to this phenomenon.

It should be noted that socks and underwear are very rare in those places. Perhaps there is a link to be made out, there?

       It will all be okay, so long as we don't allow unions between socks for the same foot.

       That would be a good way to ensure polydactylism is not really a problem for you. Having socks capable of taking feet with six or seven toes may well be a product of such matings.

       UB what the heck is this all about? 1 1/2 years later and still no one gets it! I don't like not getting something, is there a link or some explanation?
dentworth, May 29 2004
  

       For serious, I don't get this. Inless the socks have something to do with the collective spirit of the peanut brittle cans society.... hot monkey lunch
evilpenguin, May 15 2007
  

       Yeah, I don't get it either...and it's 2008... That means it has been FIVE YEARS approximately, and nobody gets it. And you don't seem like you want to explain...

       To be honest, I forgot it was hiding in plain sight on my idea list.
UnaBubba, Jan 06 2008
  

       Just because nobody understands it, that doesn't mean it makes sense.
MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 06 2008
  

       You probably just need another cup of coffee.
UnaBubba, Jan 06 2008
  

       So, the question is, fake peanut brittle can what?
MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 06 2008
  

       ever.
UnaBubba, Jan 06 2008
  

       Is this related in any way to the traditional Australian Wobble Board favoured by the estimable Mr. Harris?
MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 06 2008
  

       Not that I'm aware. The estimable Mr Harris seems to be the only person who ever used the "traditional Australian Wobble Board" in my memory.   

       We think he's a wanker who was good enough to fulfill his childish dreams elsewhere.
UnaBubba, Jan 06 2008
  

       Yes, but at least he earned international recognition for the ancient aboriginal Third Leg dance.
MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 07 2008
  

       So basically its a Koran?
Spacecoyote, Jan 07 2008
  

       Not unless you're a lot more imaginative than I am, [SC].
UnaBubba, Jan 08 2008
  

       It all seems perfectly straightforward to me.   

       There's a Sock Gestapo, so instead of Jack Boots they obviously wear Jack Socks.   

       There's a Fake Peanut Brittle Can, which is big enough to hide in if the Sock Gestapo come acallin', but if you have one in your house your a terrorist.   

       If you caught with the Fake Peanut Brittle Can in your house then your socks and undies will be taken away, toot suite.   

       Unless of course you're on a small South Pacific Island, in which case you must worship the Fake Peanut Brittle Can as a God.   

       See, perfectly straightforward.
