My sister-in-law just sent me this photo to show me how the jack-o-lantern on my parents front porch collapsed from rot. She sent it because she thought I'd appreciate the fact that it looks like the pumpkin vomited. Apparently, my love of throw-up humor is well known.
Here's a picture of Batman posing with the pumpkin right before it vomited all over the front stoop. If you note the pumpkin's troubled expression, you can tell that it's feeling nauseous.
HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN!
My least favorite costume: 9 years-old when I went as a carrot (Everyone thought I was a deformed pumpkin.)
My favorite costume: 22 years-old when I went as a bridesmaid in a shotgun wedding party (Sparkly green strapless dress + throw pillow stuffed under dress to simulate pregnancy + hot pink bra straps hanging out + overindulgence with the keg = everyone impressed.) Note that this was a group costume, involving a similarly prego bride and another prego bridesmaid. The fictitious groom was nowhere to be found.

Ems - Do you remember all the bugs wouldn't get away from you when you were the carrot? They loved the orange color. I know it wasn't funny at the time, but it is now.
No. I'd actually blocked that traumatic memory. It was like the movie 'Birds', but with bugs instead. That's just one more reason why I hated that costume.
By the way, Mary. THAT'S STILL NOT FUNNY!
Mary, I think it is funny.
It's good to photograph the pumpkin pre and post debauchery.
It is sad that no one in your family acted to help the pumpkin before it emitted all that emesis all over the front porch. It is obvious in the second photo that the nausea was clearly visible. It might also have leprosy. You should not let that kid stand so close to it.
Killer, thanks for teaching me a new word for throw-up. I just looked up 'emesis' in the dictionary. The dictionary defined it as 'vomitus', which is a derivation of vomit that I've also never heard before. This is very exciting.
From the vomiting and the dark circles around the eyes, it's clear the pumpkin has a substance abuse problem.
Good catch -- the pumpkin was a total steroid user. Look how freakishly large it is.
My favorite costume: Ghostbuster.
My mom's favorite of my costumes: Tree.
The pumpkin looks just like it has expired...somebody put the pumpkin out of his misery
Where you at, girl?
