An Ugly Giant Pumpkin

I am writing a book this year. It will be out in time for Halloween 2007. One of the sections of the book discusses methods for dealing with a giant pumpkin. Last year I bought a huge pumpkin and after halloween I was feeling the pain.

Granted, the pumpkin was awesome and everyone loved it. Unfortunately, it rotted before I managed to get it into the garbage truck. The resulting mess still makes me wretch. So, if you plan to get a giant pumpkin this year, please make sure you have a disposal plan.
