Pumpkin Drop 2007

by Michelle Email

Well as I was growing up big pumpkin, many people asked what I was going to do with him. As most of you know, I planned the perfect jackolantern. He was a perfect size and shape and would have made a handsome halloween centerpiece. Unfortunately it was not to be. What do other people do with their big pumpkins? Click here to watch a video of a group of people that decided to use a crane to drop their 500 pound pumpkin on a bus this weekend.

That wouldn't be my choice but I have to give them props for creativity!

By the way, this is a BBC video and they wouldn't let me embed it but of all the clips of it the BBC has the best shots as well as the "what will those crazy americans do next" angle.

I saw that on the news. It is sort of a annual thing they do. A waste a a lot of potential pies.

I tried to grow a really big one, but never quite got there! Anyway the smaller ones taste better! - Please have a look at my 'squashblog' and see if you would like to contribute! xx Matron
