    What Did You Do With Your Pumpkin?

    Well, I put mine on a post and used my naval sabre on it!
    Whack!
    Whack!

    Feels good.

    Are those sigs under your text, or disclaimers?

    PKT-

    I actually didn't have a pumpkin, but if I had, I think I would have launched it as far as I could off my back door steps (which are on the second floor). And I guess I'd then have to be responsible and go pick it up. Takes all the fun out of it.

    Another thought... I have a friend who just got his Ph.D. in Aerospace engineering. He would tell me stories about all the things they'd drop off the top of 5 story parking garages. I hear wet twinkies disintegrate in midair, and that watermellons are great. Wonder how a pumpkin would fare?

    I didn't have a pumpkin. For the first time every in my life (I believe) I did not get the chance to carve a pumpkin. Which of course figures, because we actually had some really big ones in our backyard this year.

    to follow with tradition we threw ours off the roof again. its gotten to the point where we have been doing the "pumpkin smash" for so long that half the neighborhood brings their pumpinks and/or crowds in our front yard to watch.

    Hi!

    Tried a variation of a recipe. Substituted sugar for "almond paste" (correct English term?) and did not have enough pumpkin, had to fill out with mango. Tastes OK, but a bit watery.

    Have a nice time!

    I attacked my pumpkin with my broadsword...... It never stood a chance.

    Here I'm sure there were a bunch that succumbed to M-9s or M-16s.

    Aero Engineering...thinking of that for a major myself. Heard it's pretty tough; what does your friend do with that Ph.D.?

    Ever heard of a potato gun? Well I have a very enterpricing friend who built a pumpkin gun. He's crazy smart, rich, and has way too much free time. It was an entertaining show though.

    Still sitting on the porch. I don't think I'll get rid of it for a while. Maybe until I can't get out the front door or something because of the smell....

    I unplugged the one and turned off the switch on the other. Put them both in storage until next year.

    I hate the smell of Raw or cooked or rotted or incinderated pumpkin. Reminds me of the smell of kindergarten puke when the janitor sprinkled that sawdust stuff on it so he could sweep it up.

    OK OK I Know. TMI for you all.
