ANNOUNCEMENT
First of all, in response to the obvious tremendous progress, & to
Peter's (Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Grower's) clearly expressed intention of
keeping his wife in a pumpkin house: it has been determined that there
is a serious need that has not yet been filled (No, sending Peter to the
nut house is his family's problem).
No, the real need has to do with the expanding size of the larger
pumpkins. It will not be long before they are offered as an answer to
the housing shortage. All of you, (being the self-confessed fanatics &
nutcases, we all know you are) will clearly be in the vanguard of those
wanting such housing.
In order to cater to your perverted tastes, Kristeenie & I hereby
announce the start of our new business: Pumpkin interior & exterior
architecture, design & landscaping. We will be searching for a really
catchy name, what do you think of "Gourdeous Designs"? Any
suggestions?
(go ahead, enjoy yourselves at our expense).
I feel that pumpkin housing, in addition to pumpkin boats** & cars
(I am waiting for the first Horse drawn pumpkin chariot) & probably even
dog houses, all in one yard, is too much (very overdone; like too much
jewelry, etc.). However, we will be happy to take your money & assist
you with the decoration of the exterior and or interior of your pumpkin
home. This would include arranging a matching decor or trim, to tie in
all of your possessions featuring altered pumpkins.
Since this is an entirely new, untapped market opening up for this
housing, & we will be, at least at the beginning the "only game in
town", we are planning to make millions, in addition to being featured
in numerous decorating magazines.
As we become wealthy & famous, we want you to know that we
will not forget any of you. We intend to continue associating (we will
never call it slumming) with you & will continue our memberships with
& participation in the list.
It is also our hope that being associated with our wealthy & famous
selves, will also benefit all of you by the addition of the aura of tone
&
class. We believe that this will also be of help to those of you
fighting
commitment hearings (you know, a little proof of sanity by association).
We will also be selling a limited number of franchises for anyone
with vision & a lot of money.
**(John Sargant of NZ says, as 3 time holders of the World's Cup, they
have exclusive rights to any & all pumpkin boat designs)
You may respond to me either privately or (why not be daring?) by
posting
to the list.
Yours, truly,
The New Pumpkin Magnate
