    I’ve never grew a giant pumpkin, does anyone know if the pumpkin seeds are the same as a regular pumpkin? Do you just pump them up with a lot of fertilizer?

    Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died on Veggie Day of a severe yeast infection.

    He was 71.

    He was buried Friday in one of the biggest funerals in years.

    Dozens of celebrities turned out including Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and the Hostess Twinkies.

    The graveside was piled high with flours, as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who “never knew he was kneaded”.

    Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers.

    He was not considered a smart cookie, and wasted much of his dough on half-baked schemes.

    Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model to millions.

    Fresh is survived by his second wife.

    They had two children, and one in the oven.

    The funeral was at 3:50 for 20 minutes.

    Not everyone in Ghent, Belgium participates in not eating meat on Donderdag Veggiedag. So, for RBION to state that “meat is not consumed” is incorrect.

    It says he drove the pumpkin from Anoka (which is a city, not a farm town) to California. I wonder how much gas it took – that thing is as heavy as a VW. And did the family ride in it or on it – enquiring minds want to know

    They remind me of Jimmy Durante.

    Forget carving a face on that pumpkin, carve a doorway and live in it.

    I’d have to sneak meat. That’s crazy.

    So why don’t the monkeys eat vegetables instead of fruit?

    I grew up as a Catholic in a Navy town. I went to parochial school and found out that military dependents were granted “special dispensation” on the dietary restriction on eating meat on Friday. I felt that was ludicrous and unfair because my father was a civilian so I had to go meatless on Fridays, as well. Fast forward to the Twenty First Century, now meat restriction on Fridays only applies to Roman Catholics during Lent. Strangely enough, I now look forward to eating fish on Fridays. Appetites come and go just as traditions do.

    To set the record straight: Veggie day is only a proposition. And has nothing to do with faith.

    Snoring like a Bear

    The guys were all at a deer camp. No one wanted to room with Bob, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn’t fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

    The first guy slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot.

    They said, “Man, what happened to you?

    He said, “Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night.”

    The next night it was a different guy’s turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.

    They said, “Man, what happened to you? You look awful!”

    He said, “Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night.”

    The third night was Fred’s turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, a man’s man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. “Good morning!” he said.

    They couldn’t believe it. They said, “Man, what happened?”

    “Not really sure,” he said, “We got ready for bed. I went and tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night.. Then Bob sat up and watched me all night.”
