And Then There Was Gene...
No better way to end a weekend than with Gene the Pumpkin Man. I gotta give it up to him....his round, orange fruits of an annual vine are lovely. Oh and he knows it. He doesn't even price em. Just sits on a stool, with an envelope full of bills and eyes up your wagon full of large fruited winter squash. He chats with you awhile...tries to get you to buy the Gene the Pumpkin Man Cookbook, or new this year, his children's book. He might pose for a picture, flirt a little...then he throws out an amount and you pay the man. He's good, this Gene.

How cool.
Tho you realize this gives yall a pumpkin advantage when it comes to carvin. No way our "city bought" can match these.
How many did ya get?
I got 4, but upon bringing them home, they seem sorta small. Not much room for creative genious, I'm afraid. We also have one big one that just showed up on the porch. Keep forgettin to ask D if he got that somewhere.
Startin to think you may be right about antibiotics. I'll give it the weekend, but I'm starting to think I won't be able to kick this on my own. I'm fairly certain it's bronchitis now. :(
Ok, I just asked D if he bought that big pumpkin on the porch and he said, 'no, I thought you did'. Hmmmm...a secret pumpkin deliverer.
*Update on my status of being a curse on marriages*
Don't know if I've talked about this, BUT...I've been a bridesmaid in 4 weddings. (Ok, really 3. Once I wore a tux and was a grooms"man", but you get the picture.) All 4 of those marriages have ended in divorce. I was part of only one other, sang in it, and this long lasting marriage was assuring me that it wasn't my involvement at the ceremonies that was the problem. Well, just got word that THAT one is ending, too. So, it's official. At this point I'm thinking that if I'm ever asked again, a simple response of "you don't wanna go there" will suffice.
Maybe it's one a the Great Pumpkin's lookouts. Hey, ya never know.
You should post your "marraige wrecker" comment at Sytan's, just edncase Svet re-cks in. Ohhh...that'd be fun. Wait a minute...wasn't that a J Lo movie?
Here's the deal. Colds sometimes go into bronc. Sooo..if you'ds kept taken the zinc...oh..never mind.
You're not really gonna blame me not takin zinc for this are you? Cuz I might have to hurt you.
You'd be too outta breath to catch me :)
omgosh...I AM a marriage wrecker! She must be some sort of medium! Nah...I prefer to look at myself as a curse on weddings. There's a big difference.
ha! Stop makin me laugh, it makes me cough.
Get some rest Linsey.

Well when you put it that way...

Listen folks, at the first sign of cold take 'Zicam', 'Zicam Cold Remedy' will get you back on your feet in no time. It's clinically proven to shorten the duration of your cold, but you gotta take it at the first sign of your cold. Pick up some 'Zicam Cold Remedy' at your local pharmacy or supermarket, for those of you in Rio Linda, that's where you buy your food or medicine. Hey the last time I, was feeling under the weather, I made sure to take my 'Zicam' and you know that I, El Rushbo, am always right, certified at least 99.4% of the time. So run down to your local store and pick up a case or two, and tell them Limbaugh sent you!
Well don't feel too bad, almost everyone here is sick. First Isabella, then Carmen and Ryan, and I am holding out, but beginning to feel it. I think it may be the change in weather. I think it got down to 85 this week. ;)
Ha! Change of weather...good one. Funny, D's holdin out, too. Hope everyone's feelin better soon.
Hey, I've always wondered why Rush always mentions Rio Linda. I'm assuming that's a city, but I don't get the joke.
Zicam=zinc...Hey, Rush IS right!
He's explained it a few times. When he was in Sacramento, there was a suburb called Rio Linda that was in pretty bad shape. All of the cars were on blocks, etc. He 'offered' to move there to spruce up the neighborhood but they didn't want him apparently. So that's why he calls them out. Anyway, it's in jest, but I think it has pretty liberal leadership, hence all of the cars being on blocks.
Gotcha. Thanks.
Excellent impersonation, btw, N.
Is it just me, or has the comment layout changed?
Holy changaroony! It's not just you! I hate when this happens. Takes awhile to get used to.
There. I fixed it. That was very strange.
Maybe it's cause were watchin Close Encounters here.
That's probably it. I thought Blogger did it at first. No idea how that got switched.
(Grilled the zuchs last night...very good!)
My only big problem with that movie is that I find it hard to imagine Dreyfuss' character would board a freakin spaceship when he's got 3 little kids.
Whoops, sorry. Didn't mean to give away the ending.
Thanks alot ;)
This musta been a directors cut or somethin cause there were parts I don't remember.
Glad ya liked the zuchs :)
We grilled tonite (in fact I got a thread up about it). It was mmm mmm good!
Observations from Close Encounters of the Third Kind...
-When they gather on the highway the second time to see the alien crafts, the guy takin pics of e1 is a govt agent (you see him slippin away just before the helicopters swoop in).
-When the space ships show up at the mountain top , in the far background you see a guy exitin a port-o-can buttonin his overalls, he looks up at ships then bolts back into p-o-c. (this is a different person than the one that bumps into Drefus runnin to p-o-c a few scenes later).
-In shots of e1 lookin up at the space ships on the mountain top almost half the people are wearin glasses (whenever it gets really bright it shows e1 puttin on shades; never in these instances do any of the people have glasses to take off first).
-The actress (the one w/ the lil boy who's abducted) is never wearin a bra. Why?
-When Drefus and the cop cars are chasin the ships they drive through a toll booth. The attendant yells out "Hey, you can't do that, this is Ohio" (Drefus' truck had Indiana plates). There are no state line toll booths.
-Apollo Creed plays a nat guardsman.
You must be a joy to watch movies with. ;)
It was the 70's...she'd burned it.
Poor Billy Dee Williams...he'll always be Apollo Creed. (I think that was his name. See?!)
