Nice punkin. Anecdote? Anecdote.

I was at the Wahl-Mart yesterday to but two (2) toffbrushes and one (1) tube of toofpaste. I was behind this short dumpy redhead woman and her progeny. They cashier may not have been quite right. He may have been quite right, and sir if you're reading, I'm sorry for getting the impression you weren't quite right. You're probably righter than me. Lord knows that's the truth. Anyways the woman is buying three pumpkins and the cashier looks like he is older than me but acts kinda teenagery. Thinning hair and a weird shape to him. Anyways he was like "you should buy 4 punkins you know why?" and Dumpy Redhead is like "no why?" and he's all like "so you could paint them like the 4 members of the band Kiss" and the woman just kind of went "heh". She gave him NOTHING, guys. He continues on about how he actually had a friend who did that. Did what? He painted 4 punkins like the members of the rock and roll band Kiss. You know what? No, what? For the Gene Simmons punkin he made the...the...what do you call it? The sprout? That thing on the top of the punkin? Yeah he made that his tongue! He did a pretty good job, really. It was pretty cool. Still Dumpy Redhead is giving him NOTHING and I'm heartbroken for the guy. Dude just wants some acknowledgement as a human being. I'm back there behind her laughing and smiling and trying to make up for her rejecting this dude's humanity. I was super nice and chatty with the dude when it was my turn. I wanted to be like "fawk that *****, Kiss punkins rule amirite?" but I didn't. I didn't know waht to say. I was just kind. But I left thinking this guy is finally going to work up the nerve to ask the cashier with the lazy eye on a date, borrow his mom's Grand Am, and on the way home from the movie and Bennigan's he's going to flashback to this Dumpy Redhead who shitt upon his soul and strangle his date to death with is powerful waterhead hands and tears in his tiny-pupiled eyes. All because this woman couldn't bring herself to make a connection with dude who just needed her to smile. He'll end up on wild eyed on the arkansas river bridge with his mom talking through a detached cop's bullhorn telling him not to do it. Why. Why OSA?

Thanks for reading. This has beend a RidgeHunter paragraph story. Be well. I'm sorry.

Lol at telling of story. Poor dude. Cashiers are not the most interesting people in the world but most we are around are funny as hell. They are always ready to make fun of other people with you. Even the ones that don't engage are fun. You just keep rambling on at them and hope you put a smile on their face.

Just a word of caution.
If you use a Dremel for carving the pumpkin - it'll fling small pumpkin bits everywhere.
So dress appropriately.



Don't ask how I know.

I heard it from a friend of a friend recalling about a story he once heard.
Oh screw it. I did it.
It wasn't all that bad. ...Just pumpkin bits everywhere on the jacket and face.
The cuts were clean though....
