    Yes, Miley Cyrus' secret name is totally John :laugh: :laugh:

    Anyway, I always make pie from the leftovers and put he seeds in feeders. Squirrels eat the seeds.
    Have you never heard of a pseudonym?
    First time reading sarcasm over the net? ;)
    I guess so. BTW, who is Miley Cyrus?
    Some bimbo, iunno. lol.
    Is "iunno" an acronym for something? I'm new to all the internet lingo.
    Considering you used "btw", I don't really buy that :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    I've seen BTW in texts before. Didn't know if "iunno" is specific to the internet.
    It is, but perhaps mostly in chatrooms, so people don't see it as often, maybe?
    I've seen it used plenty at other forums I go to, though. Just guess others haven't stumbled upon it -shrug-
    Oh ok. Thanks.
    Don't mind him. He's been cranky ever since he started this cut. Bad Bacon! Get back in my basement!
    Just quoting to point out how long this quote has gotten. Oh mama! XD
    Sure it's long, but what good is it ?

    Not sure, but I think its a name for someone who likes to make out with construction equipment naked and put her rear end on furries. As in: "You freak! Put down that hammer down and quit being such a Miley Cyrus".

    At my house: zero.

    I buy a few pie (yes the small ones) pumpkins the day before Halloween (yesterday) and carved them last night.

    The seeds get made into snacks today

    Tomorrow I'll take the little Jack-o-lanterns and finish carving them up into chunks, keep them moist until Saturday, then they'll go into the oven drizzled with honey to be roasted and eventually end up in my homebrewed Pumpkin-spice Ale.

    None. Pumpkins aren't food. Awful, disgusting, vile "fruit" that it is. Best to cut it up and light the night than fill my mouth with its dreadful taste.

    QFT! :tongue: I couldn't agree more! :smile: I actually don't even carve ours, because the stench when you cut it open makes me ill. :sick: I have a nice pretty electric light up one that I put in our window to let the Halloweeners know we have treats. :smile:

    And as others have mentioned carving/decoration pumpkins are NOT for eating. Pumpkins for eating look completely different - tho still taste vile (pumpkin pie makes me gag).

    The fact that they are inedible is irrelevant...unless the land used to grow and manpower to cultivate them could not have been used to grow something else...

    There a funny bit by George Carlin on the amount of space wasted by golf courses that I'd like to introduce you to...

    *ETA: Image too wide; it says, "So you're telling me that you carve faces in your food and leave it outside to rot?"
