I love to watch this competition! It's a holiday tradition.

My favorite part is when they go splat.

Ohh man you ruined the ending! SPOILER ALERT.

Did I make an oopsy? I just remember watching punkin' chunkin' on Discovery and whatnot over the years. Is this really something people don't know about? :huh:

I was being sarcastic. Im not sure what other ending one could expect from hurling a pumpkin hundreds of feet.

I wonder what kind of damage a pumpkin could do say.... to my neighbors house?

has a chucked pumpkin ever not splated...like that lone waterballoon that no matter far you threw it it just wouldn't pop.

Those lone waterballoons usually did pop. It just happened to be about the 3rd time you would go to throw it and it exploded in your hand.

Any pumpkin that doesnt splat gets a presidential pardon. It gets to live out its days never having to worry about being turned into a pie or carved into a Jack-o-lantern.
