I realize I am a little weary eyed, sleep deprived, and fascinated with a game
that preys on your vulnerability to fantasize imense potential and find magic
formulas to big pumpkins and world records. To say the least there are quite a
few things that don't add up. To spend the money and time to bury vines 2-5 ft.
with compost is a tedious and major amount of work, and to do it just for the
fun of it? Fun?? It appears that James knew enough about these AGs to go the
extra mile. He would have had a clue about weigh-offs and records. And to
shrug off his accomplishment because he has "nothing to prove" is borderline
inhuman and a mockery of us that work so hard to break a 1000lb and become a
heavy hitter Its too convenient to not have any officiating , witness or
certified scale. And if you had nothing to prove why would you get testy and
defensive at the mention of disbelief?? . So the best route to take is to
piss James off and give him no credit. With hopes he will become human and
teach us a lesson and do it again verified. For all we know he may have of
problem with embellishing stories and believing them.
