indeed, i have class tonight :( your pumpkins are lovely (here & on flickr, too). i'm such a dud: i didn't even get around to buying a pumpkin for the mere fact that i could roast the seeds. i doubt i'll find a pumpkin for sale today!
more disturbing than the near-universal lack of pumpkins (a farmer sold me this one from the back of her truck, and she looked heartbroken when i told her i was carving it rather than making soup - it's a cheese pumpkin, not a jack o'lantern) were the miniature christmas trees (?!) already for sale at the grocery store.
Yeah, I'm with you, Lauren. Christmas Creep has gone far enough.
Reportedly (according to the Chicago Tribune), the Marshall Field's downtown (soon to become a Macy's--which is just sad, really) put out Christmas specials around Labor Day. There oughta be a karmic punishment for stuff like that. As in: anybody who drops Christmas as a reason to shop before the pucks drop (in non-strike years, naturally) will see their same-store figures drop. Simple.
smushing bush was a definite possibility, but ultimately i went with prolonged suffering; extended burn time made the back of his head cave in, then i threw him on top of a garbage full of his own guts (and a few candy wrappers).

brilliant execution! but od i see some pumpkin smashing in your future? or could you put it on a stick? that'll keep the spirits away.
