not everything in this hobby is as it seems. people dont always mean everything they say. lets take a toung in cheek tour down the complementary highway. (lol)
here are some of the commentents you may hear and the thoughts that might be behind them.

wow, what a beautiful plant (where the hell is the pumpkin?)

look at the size of those leaves (are those elephant ears?)

what are you spraying with? ( gasoline ?)

what do you prune with? ( a chain saw ?)

what pattern is that ? ( i have heard of the freight train but is that the train wreck ?)

what do you put under your pumpkin ? ( besides the main and a couple sides and a mouse nest)

how many pounds a day are you growing ? ( the pumpkin not you )

how do you water ? ( looks like a friggin rice patty )

thats a great looking pumpkin ( what is it a tiny tim ?)

what do you use to control insects ? ( a shotgun ?)

great color ( will look good in the basket of your kids bicycle)

i can see you put a lot of time into this hobby ( doing what i have no idea)

thats a huge main ( whats all that saw dust lookin crap by the base ?)

great side vines (are they self terminating ?)

thats the biggest stem i ever saw ( to bad its bigger than the pumpkin)

hey keep up the good work ( its over, you just dont know it yet)

see ya at the weigh off (ill drop by the kiddie section to say hello )

Charlie: Yea,
Dave: She has the biggest one I ever saw.
Charlie: Yea.
Dave: She let me take a picture of it.
Charlie: Yea.
Dave: Wanna see it?
Charlie: The picture or the real thing.
