Default Looking for substitute recommendations

Hello all,
I'm trying to find a substitute for Coal. You know the stuff we used to threaten to put in our kids stocking if they were naughty. I thought of going to scratch around at Egg Lake, but I'm sure the environmentalists are watching the place like it's a missile silo. So, rather than have Steven Guilbeault's Gestapo throw me in the Gulag for Christmas, I thought I would ask here. I was thinking along the lines of

- Brussel sprouts
- Container of Head Cheese
- The all-time holiday favorite, More Taxes

Thanks for your input, Bah Humbug!

{To my Friends & Family, have a very Merry Christmas & Healthy prosperous New Year}

I was always threatened with horse turds as a young kid. Of course we always had horses around

Brussel sprouts are good too. Head cheats is awesome but you shell use the good quality hires radish with that and real rye bread.
More taxes? I dunno, I think we are taxed out pretty much.
Also you car try some dry dunk, it has been used for thousands of years.
Another option is a night hunt for coal. You can always say that you are Santa(or at least identifies like one) and need some presents for bad people….

There is lots of places to get coal. There are exposed seams all along the North Sask River as well as Dodd's Coal is still in business. You could also use BBQ charcoal, lump or briquettes. I have some of both if you don't have a bag.

Just wanted to warn you- don’t use dry horse poop or cow poop in your BBQ…. Might change the flavour of your steak….

Reminds me of the story of little boy that got horse turds in his stocking. He was a real optimist and told everyone ' I got a pony for Christmas, but he ran away'.
