x-polarisstar.livejournal.com posting in

As some of you may have noticed, our morning groceries came with a palette of pumpkins. These are intended for many things, not the least of which are pies, seeds and carvings.

None of them are intended for putting in a catapult and launching, Scott. (Or whatever it is that you're now plotting, Forge.)

Anyway, point is, Sunday will be a day of pumpkin carving. I'd love some volunteers to help out the kidbits. I promise extra treats for helper monkeys. Anyone is welcome to come, of course.

I would like to volunteer my assistance.

From:

Thanks, Crystal. I suggest clothes that you don't mind getting a bit grubby. Pumpkin isn't kind to fabric.

From:

x-aerial.livejournal.com

That is what extra gym uniforms are for.

From:

x-skin.livejournal.com

Sure, I'll help out.

From:

x-polarisstar.livejournal.com

Awesome.

From:

Dude. I totally want to help! Do we get pie out of the pumpkin guts?

From:

x-polarisstar.livejournal.com

That's the joy of being a helper monkey, first crack at the spoils. I'm thinking that I'll need pumpkin carving snacks though. Is it too early for gingerbread?

From:

x-wildchild.livejournal.com

Can I dibs the pumpkin seeds? They're good like, toasted and with a lot of salt.

From:

x-polarisstar.livejournal.com

Not all of them but yes, some.

From:

x-wildchild.livejournal.com

YAAAY!

Just so long as you aren't going out to hack up pumpkins or anything. Remember what happened last time with the axe?

From:

x-wildchild.livejournal.com

Hey, those toes grew BACK.

A catapult would be horrendously inefficient to launch a pumpkin. In this cold, any type of stored-tension launching mechanism would suffer from a decrease in elasticity, thus losing most of the potential energy to shear tension.

A trebuchet, on the other hand...

From:

x-polarisstar.livejournal.com

The point is No.

From:

x-forge.livejournal.com

We will have to settle for creative interpretations of 'carving', then. I have a laser, you know.

From:

x-polarisstar.livejournal.com

Just so long as nothing explodes.

From:

x-skin.livejournal.com

Even if it's the pumpkin? That would be... messy, but kind of fun.
