You mean they queued like an unruly mob, and it took all you had to break up the log jam?
Yes, there was a whole forest of them, I had to make them branch out, but they finally twigged ... 
Was jam used with the log? Could that be the root cause of such rampant gannetry? Would it be safe to make a larger log?
Perhaps the inevitable onslaught could be delayed if the assembly were requested to sing for their supper?
A song throng.
Get them to croon a popular Indonesian ditty, dressed for the occasion, then it could be a sarong throng song.
And now this is just getting silly.
Back to you.
Good morning wonderful threadies!
I'm about to rush out of the door and through the city before the great christmas squeezers arrive. Not that it's a shopping day for me (I'm not silly) but rather, to drive east to meet a whole crowd of quilting friends halfway up a mountain where there is a splendid little restaurant! They're all bringing christmas balloons, the noise will be ear shattering.
ecar, 'twas indeed something of a log jam, but I filled it with a sweet marshmallow frosting; found the recipe on an Italian website ... the making of it was tantamount to flubber and was a horrendous exercise, it escaped up the walls and on to the floor, but all in all, it ended up in the log!
Next year, it really will be just jam, or worse ..... 
Have a wonderful day all .... 
Worse than jam...?
Lime and cumquat marmalade? That cheesy Vegemite that isn't sold anymore? Anchovy paste? Tinned 'dinosaur shape' spaghetti?
Serving it, wearing pale tan corduroy slacks with a houndstooth tweed jacket and a flannelette shirt? (Polka dot bow tie optional).
My mind is boggling at the idea of what might be worse than jam.
But I have made some possibly unhelpful suggestions.
Spoiler
And I didn't say curry flavoured tuna.

You were kind enough not to mention SPAM either.
There's always the good old favourite - mashed turnip, flavoured with banana essence.
Camembert? Tofu? Gelatin flavoured with Worcestershire sauce? Have you thought of honey, Honey? Ha ha ha.
Custard, with just a hint of shredded coconut.
How about, as a reserve, an Elvis sandwich, drizzled generously with dark chocolate?
Mind boggling, mind boggling, indeed... What could be worse than jam?
