So you two are planting posies with thekid. Don't be surprised if he suggests NOT using weed killer!!!

;~)

WOW!!! I sooo posted on the wrong thread!
No more coffee for me!!!

Well, we lost less than most... I read 20% was an average stock market hit. We fared better than that. But it was a big chunk of money and the republicans were at the helm... so there ya go!

Screw just a $500 fine. Make him do community service for a whole summer working in the dump.

I am totally confused why my comment was removed. It was referring to an inside joke from weeks ago. It wasn't really about what it said. It was about being in the garden business together....with THEKID. Sorry if someone was offended.

LMAO
Thank you everyone! I love these posts! It made me smile..It's not just the vicodin talking either (I dislocated my C4 and herniated C5 &C6).
It was a bad week and these posts brought a smile to my face..THANK YOU!

I think a lot of people are guilty of smashing pumpkins now and then when they were younger, but dude, you are 18 years old. Time to grow up.

Maybe we should blame David Letterman, Didn't he throw pumkins off tall buildings during his show??..If it's O.K. for Dave, it should be O.K. for all of us !!!

Is it so hard to hit the spell check on the tool bar of Internet explorer? It shows the misspellings and you can click the proper word.

Smrtthing is right, it is about respect. My family likes the decoration and wants to choose when we take it down. I also don't like cleaning up smashed pumpkins from in front of my house/driveway. My house is away from the street. Someone on my porch late at night might meet three people on my porch. Myself, Smith & Wesson.

I think a few 7:00am-5:00pm weekends of wearing an orange jumpsuit while picking up trash and litter on the streets might encourage him to find legal outlets for his boredom.

What's up with the: “I placed him in the back of the squad car. I did not handcuff him,” quote from the officer? Did Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Beater claim he confessed under duress?

I vote for the $500 fine....
My grandfather raised pumpkins and sold them for years, his field was at least 5 acres and every year punks like this would go in and end up smashing pumpkins in the field and on the road. No sympathy from me. I'd vote for the $500 per pumpkin penalty.

...perp. Really...

FLDPAN......I wouldn't HAVE to read them if YOU didn't read them FIRST! Hehehehe. (I can be immature too!)

I'm bored with these comments. I think I'll be a coward and go out in the dark to a stranger's home and trespass on their property and then destroy something of theirs, just because I can. This isn't about pumpkins - its about respect for others (or a complete lack thereof) that is disappearing at an alarming rate.

rusty...you're really reaching now. Of course you can't break THOSE decorations, they are reusable...a pumpkin rots. No comparison! Gaz...you even made me laugh this time!!

FLDPAN............THEN DON'T READ THEM.

DUB....apologies. I picked the wrong person to scold. Shame on me!! :o) It is just so sickening that people need to always comment on the equisite grammer or lack of, all the time. Yes, people are sometimes taken more seriously if their grammer is "better", but I tell you what, that is very shallow. Just cuz sum1 cant speek on yer edgucational level.....doesn't meen thay dont have sumthin good 2 sey.

i use biggerer words to confuse them moreer. and i usuallys end up winninging in the end of the talks. lmao!

I no me not so bright but me know grmmar and grammaerIknow. But hnnah talk about things me know heard of. After all me just humaan.

I hear hannah talk about 'ufraydeez' and 'dammycleez' but me know speak Latin so me kno know what she mean. Me thought they were players on Forty-niner. Me just football fan, hanna too smart for me.
she shake his head and say she has heradache and wonder if maybe we too dumb to blog now. Me just football fan, me no watch news or nature TV, me just dumb republicxan and now me scared to even read news.

Oh, there bright shiny object……….

What me talkaboutagain, me forget, me just student. Me know gramar, but what me know about history.

IHAVEALIFE.....I have a couple coons and a few opposums around here that would gladly come on over and clean up the mess!! Please let me know, as these buggers are really over staying their welcome here.

GAZETTEFAN..........OMG you never cease to make me smile. FUNNY!! Although, I understood Hannah's better. ;~) As far as you DUB...you have too much time on your hands to critique people's grammer. I bet some grade school teacher out there could use a room mom.....you could start there to fill your time slot. WHY IS IT ALWAYS SUCH A BIG DEAL WHEN SOMEONE TYPES TOO FAST AND MISSES A WORD OR LETTER? Those complaints have really gotten OLD!!!!!

if it's OK to smash other peoples pumpkins after Halloween as some of you seem to insinuate, is it then OK to go around smashing their Christmas decorations after Christmas?

Garyprimer - Since no one said anything, I just wanted to let you know that I liked the Billy Corgan reference. :-)

As a girl still living with her parents she had an existential epiphany: Whether the act of TPing her house was one of enmity or amenity her youthful angst was relieved and her existence was confirmed. The experience made her feel alive!

Her new found exuberance made her giddy and rebellious to the point where she had a brief experience with a nefarious character. This person stole some political paraphernalia for the purpose of spelling out Happy Birthday.

This acknowledgment of hannah's birth further celebrated her existence. And just as important her rebellious and nefarious foray was ended when she took the responsibility for hoping no one got injured and no car was damaged by hitting a pot hole.

Next question!!!

i actually thought after halloween that it was OK to smash pumpkins.

I bought my pumkins and when the time comes, my kids get to smash them. If an 18 year old likes smashing pumpkins, then go buy em and smash em. The band "Smashing Pumpkins" I like as well.

It's just the beginning for that pumpkin smashing punk. He needs a hitch in the Corp to straighten himself out. Or else it'll be a long life of anti-social behavior which will probably include criminality.

I understand hannah's posts fine.

fldpan....LOL

Hey, I thought smashing pumpkins was a band, or something.

Hannah - you really need to proof read your posts... I can't understand a thing you wrote!
.
Are you typing on a blackberry or something?

Pumpkins are a gateway drug.

CHEMICAL....I do agree with you on that point. We did have our pumpkins smashed by some people a few years ago, I didn't mind, but my young one did. So, looking at it from a child's innocence, yes, it is a bit more than just a pumpkin. We don't mind the toilet papering either. I think it is harmless fun. The parents in our neck of the woods also go and do eachother's houses on homecoming. It is just a silly thing to do. Again, there are worse things that could be being done by youth, and yes, 18 is still youth, especially when we are talking about BOYS.

I somewhat agree that yes, it's just a pumpkin, but have you ever seen the face of a five year old come home after school only to see the prized pumpkin that they spent so long carving, smashed into a bunch of pieces?? It's not a good feeling. But technically, yes, it's just a pumpkin.

Powrtrip....I'm with you! Halloween was Friday, after that, who cares about the pumpkins? It's better than looking at the ones that rot and sag because, at that point you're just waiting for someone to smash them! I'd rather see smashed pumpkins (that animals will eat) than toilet paper in the trees or eggs on houses....

And , of course, infinite sadness...

I think that he was suffering less from boredom, but rather from a feeling of melancholy.

I think that his name is Billy Corgan.

zippy: nice!

18 and still smashing pumpkins, what a LOSER! Get a life man.

its just sad that hes 18 and smashing pumpkins.

OH GOOD GREIF. And smashing pumpkins is a new thing?

Open a book next time you are "bored".

I think what's happening is that my food offering to the gremlins, while well intended, isn't good for them considering their small size and teeth. They have to recruit young boys to smash the pumpkins into bite sized pieces which are easier to eat.

His name should be listed, and no the judges and such will not live up to their end of the deal. Cops do the work and the judges slap them on the wrists.

The pumpkin perp has been pronounced. Now for the prosecution to ponder the penalty.

Get a freaking job you loser. I have 2 and I'm never "bored".

Good. You know he's going to grow up to be a winner. I hope his parent around proud, if he was board why not read a book play a computer game etc rather than destroy peoples property

Now will the prosecutor and Judge live up to there end of the deal.

Good for the homeowner! It's about time "bored" kids learn that smashing pumpkins are not a way to get a thrill.
