Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 28, 2023

I have a relative who’s quite fond of that flavor. About once or twice a year. Is that on the fence?

(I’m not: I’d be perfectly content if I never heard that two or three word phrase again.)

I don’t care for pumpkin spice, but it’s FAR better than pumpkin mold.

I guess Miss Plainwell was for it at one point, probably thanks to Frazz.

I wait for the local grocery store (Rochester, New York) to order way too much pumpkin spice coffee in the fall and wind up selling it the rest for half price by March. I’m not a big fan of the flavor, but coffee is coffee!

I have a meme on my phone that pokes fun at pumpkin spice everything. It’s a picture of a bottle of pumpkin spice chloroform!

And sneaking up on Santa’s workshop are Linus’ pumpkin spies.

At Vallarta supermercados here in Califas we have pumpkin spice TAMALES y Horchata.“They’re so popular that most of Vallarta’s supermarkets — of which there are 26 in the L.A. region — sell out by early afternoon.”

A tiresome subject taken to tiresome lengths.

Like eggnog, without brandy not something I bother with.

I will confess to greatly enjoying pumpkin-spice pumpkin pie – but’s where I draw the line!

From the Babylon Bee article “Ships Arrive From The Orient Laden With Pumpkin Spice”:

“It’s October, and that means women in UGG boots are crowded around the ports to catch sight of the masts of ships returning from their journey to the Orient. For each of those massive wooden ships has a cargo hold filled with pumpkin spice, the fabled spice of autumn…”

I used to put my carved pumpkins out in the back yard after Halloween for the squirrels and other critters to eat…

There is an annual spike in fuel prices when they switch from the summer blend to the fall pumpkin splice gasoline blend.

Somebody needs to take things to their logical conclusion and start selling pumpkin spice pumpkins.

It’s an acquired taste, ask any squirrel.

We have uncarved, undecorated pumpkins on our porch this year. Including some of those mini pumpkins. I actually like them better than Jack o’lanterns. And they can stay out till Thanksgiving.
