How you gonna haul that Jack o'Lantern home?

[Roody]

Any creative, clever or amusing solutions to this age-old problem?

Here's one idea (http://www.siege-engine.com/PunkinChunk2000.shtml) that looks pretty effective. The bicycle (stationary) powers a siege engine (catapault) that then flings those pumpkins home. But watch out for collateral damage! :D

What...buy an inflatable pumpkin? I don't think they grow those around here! ;)

Seriously--let us know the weight of the pumpkin you stuff in that big orange bag.

well, so far, Ive only hauled one pumpkin, and it wasnt mine, but it was about 35lbs give or take, it about filled the bag

Chip--It's cute the way you left your real nose sticking out of the pumpkin.

well, I'm not car free but I am a commuter. I asked my fiancee if she wanted to ride to the pumpkin patch and she loved the idea. she thought I was talking about the one 4 miles away, which I wasn't. I like the one she was thinking about better anyway so we went and she picked out a 25lb pumpkin. I had no problem carrying it, but I did have to stop and fix a flat on the rear after running over a bunch of glass. We got a lot of strange looks and smiles on the way home. we stopped at Olive Garden for dinner and a kid walked by as we were locking up and said, "how come we never do anything cool like that?" to his parents.
