I'm currently watching <i>Lords of the Gourd : The Pursuit of Excellence</i> on PBS. It is a documentary about people who grow the super large pumpkins.
One guy mentioned how he has to miss some of his daughter's soccer games because he has to take care of his pumpkin, but its not a big deal. All of them mention how losing a pumpkin is like losing a child. And there is one guy who is shooting the animals who come onto his property to eat this giant fruit. Yes, your large science experiment that you're only growing so you can try to outweigh other people's pumpkins is more important that this actual living creature.
These people are fucking creepy.
