So I bought it for her, but it's been too hot to think "fall" lately (and no leaves changin' much yet either). So la dee daaa, I just leave it sittin' on my kitchin' counter thinkin', "Hmm, I'll wait a week or 2...maybe it'll be 'fall enough' to give it to her soon". I wonder how "good" pumpkins last, but it's gotta be a long time, right? They're fall fruit, they're hardy, they're orange, they're always sittin' outside for weeks---they gotta be about the most invincible thang ya can harvest. Well, yesterday I woke up and came in the kitchen when I noticed an odd smell. *sniff sniff*..."What *is* that?"...*sniffsniffsniffsniff*...[pokes around kitchen in old open Chef Boyardee cans, table, sink, etc.)...*sniffsniff*...then I get to the counter where the cute li'l pumpkin is. And it's sittin' in a puddle of its own "pumpkin pee". My pumpkin for my friend just mischievously decided overnight to pee itself all over the counter. So it's sittin' in its own big puddle and I realize "Hmm, this won't be good for Kim now", and I pick it up to throw it away---I barely lift it a centimeter off the ground when "Glock!" the stem breaks off and the pumpkin falls back into its juicy puddle. I throw the stem away, try to pick up the pumpkin again, and have to use both hands cause it's so soft 'n smushy 'n warped. Well, after gettin' it thrown out and cleanin' and Lysol-in' the counter, things are more back to normal now. But dang it, I never knew pumpkins peed.

Originally Posted By hopemax Freshman year of college, I bought a little pumpkin. I put it on the tv in my dorm room. It was a good pumpkin, it lasted far longer than the other pumpkins.

Then wierd things started happening to my tv. We'd be sitting there watching it, and it would suddenly turn off, then back on! Sometimes you would push the on button on the remote three times, nothing would happen then 30 seconds later, on it would turn. The pumpkin had possessed my tv. I was poor, so we lived with the PPT (pumpkin possessed television) through the 1994 winter olympics in Lilihammer. Missed all sorts of events because the pumpkin's control became stronger than mine. Spring break I finally had to relent and take it to a guy who performed an exorcism for $75. I still have that tv.

Originally Posted By Kimrue Awww, I've had that happen, too. But think of it this way, at least it happened to YOU. Imagine if you brought your friend the pumpkin the day before it decided to pee and SHE had to clean up the mess? She would've been like "gee, thanks for the smelly, pumpkin that doesn't have control of it's bladder, tdg..."
