[video] Astral Pumpkin
Okay okay okay okay. So I know there's an event coming up and we're all freaking out about it, and it's probably gonna be horrible like usual, but I gotta say this before we get too deep into October. So, you know how Halloween is the best holiday, and October is the best month, and autumn is the best season, and all that? And you know how the best thing about all of those is...
[Dramatic pause.]
Pumpkins, obviously. I was thinking, we definitely need to have a pumpkin chunking competition.
[She grins like a wild person.]
So for the uninitiated, pumpkin chunking is when you build something that can launch things--like a catapult, or a trebuchet, or a giant slingshot, or a cannon, and so on--and then you compete to see how far the thing you built can launch a pumpkin. It's literally the best thing, after Halloween and autumn leaves. Since I figure most people don't really know how to build stuff like that, people could team up. You could have team names and give your pumpkin chunker a name like they do with monster trunks. I mean trucks. The only rules is you can't use anything gas powered--it has to all be mechanical. And you also can't, like, murder people with pumpkins.
And knowing Wonderland, there's probably gonna be some crazy ass shit happening for Halloween, but I figure we can pick a day near then and that's when we have the competition. We can roll out our stuff to the checkerboard hills and launch from there, that way we got wide open space and people won't get hit by flying pumpkins.
[She gives the camera a really eager look.]
Whaddaya guys think?

Oh what about toy size living monster trucks? What then?
video;
Dude, would you rather fight one monster truck the size of a monster, or a thousand toy-sized ones?
video;
Oh totally, a thousand toy sizes ones. I've got one helluva kick and watching them fly would be hilarious!

[She imitates it with her hand going across in an arc.]
Boom!

[She gestures wildly to get the idea across.]

Wonder if we can get some from the closets or something.
Which is, yes, a very bad idea and yet...
