There's a microbrewery here, Wet Coast Brewing, that has a pretty tasty seasonal pumpkin ale.

When I was growing up in the 80s, music from the 60s absolutely sounded like "classic rock" to me, and stuff from the 50s was definitely "oldies." That helps put things in perspective for me when STP shows up on the classic rock station.

Pumpkin is not great. I love pumpkin soup but that's about it.

I almost threw up in my mouth reading this.

Gross.

Yes, an entire album's worth called Siamese Dream.

This.

I maintain that dogfishhead makes a good pumpkin beer. But I only had it once, and it was after enough other beers that my judgement of what's good is suspect at best.

I just had this last Thursday, enjoyed it very much. There's only been two pumpkin beers I've ever said that about.

But otherwise, pumpkin everything is pretty amazing.

And the blend of spices that comprise pumpkin spice aren't bad either.

I'm just going to have to bake you haters a pie from scratch so you can understand the wonder.

Your country scares me.

Now you understand why we all carry guns in our pants. In case someone tries to make us eat pumpkin salsa.

 

[liamcool]

Neat.

I hate pumpkin pie. I try it every so often to see if I find someone's recipe that makes me magically change my mind, but no.

I'll have maybe one pumpkin spice latte each year. They changed the recipe this year and I like it a lot more than previous years' versions. But I've already had mine, so I'm done.

Pumpkin seeds, though? Roasted and salted. YUM.

We've managed to have random weather talk, random food talk AND random Cure talk all in the first three pages of this thread.

 

[corianderstem]

My pumpkin spice latte talk probably counts as Random Coffee Talk, too.

 

[LemonMelon]

We posted at the same time. Yes, we've organically reached four RMT staples in under three pages. I'm not even mad. That's amazing.

Do not want.

I just bought a pumpkin assault rifle.

There's a huge difference between actual pumpkin and the "pumpkin" that has been overspiced to all hell. You can use pumpkin in any kind of savory dish that would use butternut squash - many of them are delicious.

Homemade pumpkin pies made from actual sugar pumpkins are delicious and don't overdo it on cloves. Ashley is making one this weekend.

Meanwhile, the weather here is dreary as fuck and I'm spending the day listening to depressing music.

Alice in Chains' Unplugged set is fantastic. I love the acoustic side of that band.

There are few things more disgusting to me than the inside of a pumpkin. A very unpleasant childhood memory, pulling the guts out to carve a jack-o-lantern.

And I never have again since.

Are you going to use it to defend your traditional pumpkin family against intruders that are overspiced to all hell?

If I have to I will, but I'll probably just wave it around a lot.

In non-pumpkin news, I listened to a Buzzcocks singles compilation the other day: plenty of good shit on there. Muscular and melodic for a more light-hearted take on punk than some of the more famous bands in that genre.

 

[IWasBored]

I don't think I'd use the word muscular to describe the Buzzcocks, unless you're talking about the Quagmire arm the dude in "orgasm addict" must have developed.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I only know a couple Buzzcocks songs, I must admit. But I definitely like them.

Singles Going Steady?

The only Buzzcocks album I have or need. It's dang near perfect.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I thought LuckyNumber7 stopped posting.

Damn.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't even watch the show, but his argument with MrPryck is pretty funny.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Same. It brings back some horrific memories.

 

[liamcool]

The Buzzcocks are cool. I still get "What Do I Get?" in my head on a fairly regular basis.

Magazine are fucking excellent, as well. Definitive Gaze

 

[IWasBored]

The Buzzcocks are alright, they had a few good songs, but I'll take pretty much any of their contemporaries over them anyway, up to and including the Undertones.

 

[bono_212]

Neat.

I don't know if I'm ready for this.
