Day Three Hundred and Twelve: Pimply Pumpkin


Meet Warty.


Warty was a runt in the litter of pumpkins outside the grocery store prior to Halloween this year. But Warty had something all those other pumpkins didn't:

Hideous growths?

No. Personality.

Sure, he may not be your typical smooth-faced, ready-for-carving, scoop-out-my-innards-and-grill-up-my-seeds type fruit (seriously, how bad are his seeds if his outside looks like that?).

But what other pumpkin is a ready-made poster boy for gourd-related acne?

And when a movie producer does a casting call for "pumpkins that survived nuclear fall-out," who will be first in line?

Warty, that's who.

So, go easy on Warty. He may not be standard fare for holiday-related fruit. But when it comes to pumpkins, I think he looks smashing.
