I wouldn't call 'breaking at the base' exploding.

didn't the same thing happen to al gore the last time he stepped on the scales?

I was expecting pumpkin shrapnel to injure bystanders.

One time at a baby beauty pageant, I saw two babies explode. They were both disqualified.

Exploding Pumpkins.

Is Billy Corgan involved?

If so, I'm buying the album.

Anne Nicole was there.

President Bush has announced Iraq has added a new terrifying weapon of mass destruction to their aresnal. Quote "Congress will need to act quickly to allow America to remove this new produce threat"

Anne Nicole was there.

mmmmmmmmmm..pumpkin.....mmmmmmm....

This is what these people do with their lives? Man, that's just sad.

somehow, Jack Skellington is involved in this...

Yes, people do grow pumpkins. For 3 grand, I'd grow a freakin pumpkin too.

Zolton would own this poor excuse for a pumpkin, anyway.

the Great Pumpkin lives!

Hmmm... Since I've been exploding a pumpkin on a yearly
basis for the last ten, I can definitely say that cracking
around the base does NOT equal an explosion. sounds
like it was starting to ferment or something, creating enough pressure to rupture it gently.

Now, fill that puppy up with oxyacetylene, and set it waaaaay out in a field. light a veeeeery long fuse, and
you'll have the world's biggest pumpkin mess. and maybe
a spontaneous pumpkin patch next year to boot...
now THAT's an exploding pumpkin... Happy halloween!

...oops, did the lbs. to kg. conversion wrong. I'm teh st00pid American...

That's slightly more redneck than Nascar racing.

Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide

Sounds like the people of Ottawa like to pump-kin....

Eh, it's only $3000 Canadian. What's that buy, like a Happy Meal?

*goes to record collection...*

When I was 19, my neighborhood was hoppin'. There were clubs all over the place, I worked in an Indian restaurant, and on Sundays I'd go walking, checking out street vendors and musicians or just sitting on a patio, drinking a beer or a coffee, reading and watching the world walk by.

That neighborhood was the Byward Market. Now, 12 years later, they use it for friggin' pumpkin-growing contests.

You can't go home again.

I feel sorry for the pumpkin, but it's really not that sad.

It couldn't be, Borg9; I haven't had mutton in a long time.

Exploding pumpkins? smells like the green goblin

(*rapid panting*)

"Whotta pumpkin!"

I don't have a pumpkin story, but I do have one about a watermelon. It was in the name of science. So pay attention, you could learn something.

One slow night at work (they were always slow...) we decided to clean out the refrigerator. Taking up valuable space was a rather large watermelon. It was in there for two weeks. And it was starting to get mushy. We immediately recognized this as science project material. On the back docks, we had 4 rather tall silos. How tall were they? If we dropped the watermelon from the top, we could determine the height from the time it took to hit the train tracks below. We knew gravity had an acceleration vector of 32 feet per second squared. So, in one arm I hoisted the watermelon and climbed with the other.

We had the stopwatch time the release to the point of impact. Almost instantly, the watermelon hit the ground into a few small pieces. Unfortunately, we didn't get it timed. Lesson: don't use a watermelon to do a pumpkin's job.

Before foley artists and television and prepackaged sound fx, a radio producer tried using the sound of a watermelon dropped from a step-ladder onto concrete to simulate the sound of a person who had jumped.
Reputedly, it was waaaaaaaaay too gruesome to use.

Ever notice that the fatter Gore gets the more he resembles his cousin Gore Vidal.

damn you, Hipnerd

beat me to it! :)

they shoulda duct taped that sucker before hoisting it onto the scales!

see thats what people get to dedicating unknown amounts of time and effort to grow mutant produce that does no good to anyone when it comes to filling their stomachs

There´s a whole lotta pumpkin goin´ on


*cough cough*

I'm still here...

It is kind of sad when you realize that a true story such as this could easily be mistaken as an Onion creation.

Much ado about pumpkins.

HA-HA
