HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Ok folks.....Pumpkin Tossing Rules:
This is like the fruitcake game at Christmas. The object is to “toss” the pumpkin to another member who then tosses it to someone else. The last person to be left holding the bag....uh Pumpkin at midnight central time October 31st Halloween night is the loser. Or at the very least owes us all a pumpkin pie. Never too early for pie I say.
And no fair tossing it to someone in a thread you know they never read.....for instance....it would not be fair to toss the pumpkin to Phalon in the Soap opera thread.
As with the fruitcake we’ll keep a running tab on who gets it and where it goes. Though keep in mind you don’t want to give it away until the tossee has found it and become the tosser.
Ok..there it is folks....Happy Tossing!!!!
Excuse me while I get a running start...gotta toss the first one pretty far!

Do they have pumpkin pie in Australia? Do they even have pumpkins?
Forgive me Madam P for prematurely tossing your golden orbs?

[glow=black,2,300] OK Folks....the pumpkin seems to be stuck so it would seem we have some time for a little round of trivia. The first person who answers the following Halloween related trivia question will win immunity from getting pelted by the flying Pumpkin when GP finally realizes it has been dumped in her lap.
Here goes:[/glow] [glow=orange,2,300]In the classic Peanuts holiday television special "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," Linus sits in the local pumpkin patch to await the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. According to Linus, what is the most important thing the Great Pumpkin looks for when choosing a pumpkin patch on Halloween night?[/glow]Good luck everyone! ps...no idea why all that got all smushed up like that...lol

That's just the code that the board generates when you use the the glow feature. A width has to be set for that filter to work, and the coder of Proboards chose to set it at 300 pixels (presumably to avoid any possibility of horizontal scrolling). I personally would have chosen 100% instead of 300px, as 100% would stretch to fit the thread's width, no matter what that width is. Without googling, I think I know the answer to the Great Pumpkin question, but I'm going to let someone else have a shot at it first.

That picture, Scrappy, is nearly orgasmic. Oops, meant organic. Funny, I was almost gonna suggest to Scrappy that she remove that, thought it may have that effect on a pumpkin person like yourself P. On that note, I must bid you a fond farewell, gots things to do.

pfft...can never get too much enjoyment like that I say.
Ok folks!!!! New rule! The pumpkin has gotten stuck! So the new rule is! The person who you toss it to has three days to show up and claim it. If that person doesn't show up at all in those three days then the pumpkin must get tossed to someone else.
Now GP hasn't even logged on here since September 22. I don't think she's going to catch the pumpkin in time...so if JoJo will toss it elsewhere we can get this thing moving again.
