Yes sir! By golly that sucker was huge, too! It weighed in at 1062lbs.
There I was, all dressed up in my community band garb (we had just performed at the local, annual "Pumpkin Days" fesitival) and I decided to take in the sites and sounds of the event. There is a vegetable growing contest and there, at the end of all of the giant vegetables (some probably grown by the big green guy himself), was the grand-daddy of them all! Jabba the hut has nothing on the great pumpkin!
So, the reward for growing the biggest? A silly blue ribbon! I'm guessing the cost of growing this beast was enormous! Not to mention the cost of harvesting and transporting it all over kingdom come. I think the grower should have at least gotten a fiver for his efforts.
Anyway, I can die a happy man now. Linus has made a believer out of me.
