[QUOTE="soberups, post: 790514, member: 14668"] [b]Any houses on your route still competing for the "green pumpkin" award?[/b] I have 7 homes on my route that are still in the running for my annual Green Pumpkin award. This award goes to the homeowner that continues to keep the moldy remains of a Halloween jack'o lantern sitting on the porch for the longest period of time.:sick: They tend to be the same people year after year. And the contest often ends in a tie, because after about 3 months the pumpkins have all been reduced to little more than green, rotten puddles of slime that look like something from a failed science experiment. By spring, there is nothing left at all but a stain. Oddly enough, these [I]same[/I] people also tend to be the contestants in my annual Brown Christmas Tree award, which goes to the homeowner who waits the longest before taking down their Christmas tree. The all-time record for that award goes to a house on my route that still had a real (not fake) decorated tree in their living room in [B][I][U]April. [/U][/I][/B]As you might imagine, this home [I]also[/I] had several green stains on the front porch. Yuck! [/QUOTE]
