SG, pumpkins grow on vines which lay on the ground. Jimbo is just being a dick as per usual.

BTW, I'm a pumpkin person Jimbo. I smell your weakness! (and it stinks to high heaven...like old pork chops)

ch'yeah.....next thing you'll tell me is that there's no tooth fairy. damn lying aussies.

plus, I'm quite sure Sundae knows pumpkins don't grow in trees. I'm sure she won't be insulted by your thinking she'd fall for that, too.

Now.......Who wants to go on a Snipe hunt?!

In America, the custom, after the Pupmkins have been harvested from the pumpkin orchard, is to then put them in a cleared field for people to have 'pumpkin hunts' on. it's deemed too dangerous for anyone other than professionals with the proper equipment to pick them from the trees. they're so heavy, and it's so easy to hurt your back doing it. sadly, another product of our litigous society. I used to love pumpkin picking when i was a lad.

SG, please, before you make a dangerous mistake, please be aware that lj misspoke when he said "pumpkin", when he meant to say "durian".

srsly, people *do* die when the get hit with one of these monsters.

That's right Razz. They're fearsome creatures...much scarier that pumpkins.

The best way to deal with drop bears is to stick a fork in your hat band, at the back, tines upwards. Then when the drop-bear leaps onto you with it's blood-curdling shriek, it impales itself and is ready for immediate roasting, using the fork as a spit.

OR simply repel them with a bit of vegemite behind the ears...duh

Hey...that's what we use to 'scent' them out of their hiding places!

It's very alluring to drop bears...and small children.

If you go hiking in Australia, as well as having a fork in your hat band, be sure to wrap spiked collars around your ankles.

Trap-door wombats.

PS I made one of my classes eat vegemite a few weeks ago. The language skill that day was polite refusals... to teach, you have to motivate.

How the hell do you break that news to the folks back home? "No, ma'am, it wasn't the enemy. It was ... a ... a ..."

I still maintain BANANAS are the real killer fruit.
