This is just like riding a bike. Sure.

I seen some pumpkins worth talking about on my way home from work. There was this one that looked like it was eating the one beside it. Another was puking it's guts out. I've never been too handy with a knife but I think after what I've seen I could give it a try and see what happens. Even if it doesn't work out, I know it's gonna be as good as road kill by tomorrow morning.

Really? You got only eight hours til sundown.

[whitetwoguns]

It don't take eight hours to make anything.

[whitetwoguns]

Especially something out of a fruit.

[orangetoughguy]

Okay wise guy, what're you gonna make?

1/2 derp.

[whitetwoguns]

Well.

[whitetwoguns]

I gotta get a pumpkin first. It'll come to me.

[orangetoughguy]

Do you know how to pick one out?

[whitetwoguns]

If it ain't soft or wet or hairy, it'd be good enough.

[orangetoughguy]

It's gotta be orange too.

[whitetwoguns]

They make em white, but most of them are orange.

[eiremagic]

So why pumpkins?

[whitetwoguns]

They'd last longer than another carved food, I think.

[eiremagic]

We don' really eat them in Ireland.

[whitetwoguns]

Have you tried em?

[eiremagic]

How do yeh even cook them?

[whitetwoguns]

I don't cook, I just eat.

[eiremagic]

Eat out a lot?

[whitetwoguns]

Eating out of the microwave ain't healthy they say. I can go for anything almost.

[eiremagic]

How do yeh feel about Irish food?

Or at least bread. I went a little overboard a few weeks back.

[whitetwoguns]

It's edible isn't it? I like it just fine.

[eiremagic]

I'll send somethin' over.

[adamantined]

There are teenage boys here. It'll probably be roadkill by midnight.

[whitetwoguns]

Maybe they don't want to mess with certain neighbors.

[adamantined]

Maybe they want to see how far they can push said neighbors.

[whitetwoguns]

They're young. They'll learn.

[adamantined]

Didn't you ever do anything like that when you were a kid?

[fatespoken]

How are you planning to carve it?

[whitetwoguns]

With a knife.

Besides that? Not too sure. Maybe make it look like a creepy ol' clown.

[fatespoken]

Obviously, with a knife.

I think I've seen that already, back during a contest we had in freshman year.

[whitetwoguns]

A box cutter would do some good. Clean angles.

Your school could afford pumpkins?

[fatespoken]

Yeah. They're just pumpkins.

[whitetwoguns]

Depends. The price goes up with weight, size and shit.

[fatespoken]

They were small to medium sized. A waste, though. Barely anyone participated.

[whitetwoguns]

But you remember it, right? Did you participate?

[fatespoken]

It was only four years ago. My roommate did; I wouldn't be bothered.

[whitetwoguns]

Bothered? Right...

[fatespoken]

It's supposedly a bonding event, for a dorm full of kids who've never had say good-bye to their Mommies and Daddies for eighteen years of their lives.

Didn't have school activities back in your day?

[whitetwoguns]

Eighteen? Sounds like a whole bunch of time and money wasted. I thought you were talking high school.

Then again, for what you pay in tuition they better give you shit.

[fatespoken]

It's worth it, aside from all the frivolous shit.

[whitetwoguns]

I wouldn't know.

[fatespoken]

Different priorities.

[whitetwoguns]

More like shit happens.

[fatespoken]

That too. I went on leave myself.

Regret it?

[whitetwoguns]

Leave? So you dropped out?

It is what it is. Can't undo it now. I figure it wasn't meant to be.

[fatespoken]

Not officially, but close enough. Shit happens.

If that's what you're content with, then whatever.
