...should anyone actually see this post today , well , Happy Thanksgiving ! Now , log off, stay off and try to enjoy day- stay away from the horn - we dont want pumpkin pie in the lead pipe !
Warm wishes to all- jsavage

Pumpkin pie in the lead pie ...... the horn just might play better . It will certainly smell better.

pumpkins are a type of squash. Why do people make pie out of squash?

Cheese cake is made out of cream cheese , carrot cake is made out carrot .... they do it because they can .

And Girl Scout Cookies are not made from real Girl Scouts, at least last time I checked. Then again, in future years, to keep the cost down, one might wonder....

My Thanksgiving obsession is to NOT be around anything Christmas related at all. I don't shop, I don't listen much to commercial broadcasting, I don't participate in parades that are scheduled early, no matter what the well-intentioned "good-weather" arguments. I give Thanksgiving its due.

Now, today, the day after Thanksgiving, bring it on! -- my only other obsession is that I tend to decorate in the traditional liturgical colors of purple or blue or violet and white or gold. NOT RED! The only reason the color red is associated with Christmas is the 1931 magazine ad campaign by the Coca-Cola company to re-cast Santa as the jolly fat elf to market more soda pop in, of course, the Coca-cola logo color. http://www.hillmanweb.com/xmas/xmascoke.html" target="_blank" target="_blank

Maybe they're out of their gourds?

I believe they do -- German ones, IIRC. On the other hand, to the best of my knowledge, urinal cakes are *not* made out of urinals, nor are pound cakes made out of British currency ...

stem-up or stem-forward?

Save the seeds. You can plant them for replacement parts.
