Do you know for sure that all of the semi - finalists were born as infants?

trysts

I can't imagine them being born as adults, but if any were then I doubt an epidural would have saved the mother pain or life.

I'm going to have to get drunk to get that "punkin chunkin" image out of my mind.

No, but i'm watching it on the tube.

What is "punkin chunkin"?

Conflagration_Planet

They use different catapults, that they have designed to see who can chunk a pumpkin the farthest. The farthest so far is about 2,800 feet.

Must be. My nephew built a catapult as a science project. He also made chainmail and took college calculus when he was in 11th grade. I'm a little scared of him. Wink
