Quick question - when you guys see "Blam" do you pronounce it "Bee-Lam" or just "Blam?" #roundup Reply

@Jux: I just shake in fear, cast my gaze to the ground, and respond with "Yes, Sir" or "No, Sir" when spoken to. #roundup Reply

Instead I'll subject every kid in the neighborhood to this dance then they can decide if they really want candy from me. #spiderbotpumpkin Reply

I thought it was kind of creepy when it first came in the frame, but after it started dancing, I found it charming. #spiderbotpumpkin Reply

And it just so happens to look like the Master Sword. Neat.

On the topic of Jack-o-lanters though, how do you keep them from rotting after you carve them? I just made one for the first time (which is sad because I'm 22 years old) and the thing was all gross and nasty after two days. #pumpkinpalstake

@Benguin: Rub that thing down with some vasoline. It'll keep it from rotting for weeks. A light layer across the outside and any exposed innards works wonders. #pumpkinpalstake Reply

I think nearly any of us would light up with a sword stuck in us, but the depressing part is that we only wasted ten bucks to impale the poor All Hallows Eve squash. Perhaps if they sold it for three figures the pumpkin could know that their life was truly appreciated.

Nah, screw it. Damn pumpkins always scaring me this time of year deserve the depressing reality of a ten dollar sword in the - er - skull. #pumpkinpalstake

@B-low: That would be blumpkin pie, which takes the regularly depraved blumpkin, adds a pie tin, and plenty of coprophagous shenanigans. Basically, 1 girl 1 tin. I think this is made worse by the fact that there are actually names hitting below 4 syllables to identify these acts. #techpumpkins Reply

Can't I just fit the pumpkin over the Roomba and have it clean up the porch while it scares the crap out of the kids from next door? Reply

This would at least give my Jack O'Lantern a fighting chance to survive the squirrels.

And by squirrels, I do mean the little grey tree rats that decimate my pumpkins by the end of the evening

@Geisrud: A BB gun and some decent aim should do the trick. Also, a handle of Jack Daniels helps the time pass by, but it tends to negatively affect your aim. Reply

Still doesn't beat posing as a stuffed mannequin in head-to-toe black with a hockey mask on your front porch next to a bucket of "Take Two" candy, then chasing off teenagers who take more than two.

They shouldn't have talked about how fake it looked. They were only asking to get screwed with.
