DONALD DUCK – $20


I HAVE A REALLY CUTE DONALD DUCK PUNPKIN.

I understand what all of those words mean individually — well, almost all of them — but strung together like that, they make no sense at all.

    Makes perfect sense to me.
    The pumpkin is in the shape of Donald Duck’s head.

      To me, it looks more like Dewey. (Not Huey or Louie, though. They’re not as cute.)

      On this site in August of 2009, an early [Corey] failed to get the point. That the Ad says punpkin, not pumpkin, and that Donald wore a sailor hat, not a punpkin shell.
      Of course, as it was a primative version of [Corey], he did not return to be mocked a second time.

          So… Do we call them “Jeffs” now?

    So . . . Am I understanding correctly that a “punpkin” is the scientific name for a fake pumpkin? And, apparently, one that has strings attached for whatever purpose you wish? Fantastic! I’d always wondered what to call an artificial pumpkin. Now, I can die happy.

    About Donald Duck, however, I seem to remember his beak being just a BIT longer than that. Hmm . . .

      the strings are so that when you are sleeping, “Donald” can drag himself across the floor and strangle you. It looks more like a punpkin duplex with a shared front porch, to me.

        Did anyone consider that this might be a Cthulhu-head punpkin, and that “string” might be a tentacle?

          That would suggest needing [cthorey] tags . . .

          SS: I read that as c.t. Horey tags. *snergle*

    I’m just not really sure why they added the “really cute” part in there. Really, now? Not so much.

    This is from The Headless Horseman’s Disney phase.

    Whatever you do, do not ask to see his Picasso phase…

      If by “field day” you mean some sort of fun, you’re aware that that kind of indulgence is extremely sinful (and/or Catholic), right?

    Let’s break it down.
    pun = a play on words, one of the reasons I love YSaC.
    p = something you do in private, unless you’re a frat boy. Or homeless.
    kin = people who are related to you by blood.

    There, now it all makes less sense. Who else needs coffee slices?

    This should definitely be put with the “haunted doll” collection.

    Just stopped by to wish all a pleasant Sunday and to hand out doors to all that showed up.

    Eeh! I cannot stop myself (sorry):

    What do you get if you divide the circumference
    of a pumpkin by its diameter?
    Pumpkin pi.

    One day I found two pumpkin seeds.
    I planted one and pulled the weeds.
    It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.
    A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
    The pumpkin was quite round and fat.
    (I really am quite proud of that.)
    But there is something I’ll admit
    That has me worried just a bit.
    I ate the other seed, you see.
    Now will it grow inside of me?

    [OT] How to tell that you spend too much time on YSaC: You go to the D.C. Big Flea, and one of the vendors is selling several heads from a wig store. Your first thought is the Lionel Richie cheese head. [/OT]

    Dang, I have been wearing myself out on weekends, and not getting to the closing until morning. I have to be careful, I’m not as young as I was two weeks ago.

    Sister Lyle, Punchity Punpkin Punch!

    G’Morning, Buena Vista!
