Round up the usual suspects.

Squashed!

Pumpkins could be pretty lethal

Death by pumpkin?
That would be messy with all of the seeds. But as long as you didn't mix any blood into the seeds you could probably still roast them and eat them later.

I can easily see a whole (un-carved, not a jack-o-lantern) pumpkin doing some serious damage.

did they fill out patient forms? it sounds industrious.

Thrown out of a car going 40 mph, yeah, that seems like a bad idea.

No, it's a story about Stockton. It's dodging.

You better go out and buy all the pumpkins you can find before Obama bans them.

tree eighty it is. i take you to a wallmart i know, get hole box of whammo for tree fiddy.

A year or two after 9/11, one of the parties involved in a road rage incident threw a plastic drink container through an open window of the other car.
I forget the exact wording of the charges, but it was something along the lines of 'invoking a terrorist threat' because they 'launched a projectile'.

/at first I lol'd, but then I had a sad.

How terrible, a drive-by fruiting. :(

the 51-year-old woman took a Thanksgiving stroll on Wilson Way near Roosevelt Street

There's your problem right there. If you must travel on Wilson Way, it should be at a high rate of speed in a heavily armored German vehicle.

who throws pumpkins ? Honestly?

I'd be surprised if it didn't happen in Stockton.

at least they didn't have a pointed stick.

What are two things that have never been in my kitchen?

I threw up a gang sign at a young gentlemen with a lovely face tattoo as he walked along Wilson...while driving in my gay blue Prius.

/I heard that you were gangsta. I am pretty gangsta myself.

Must have been one of those smart pumpkins.

Yeah, so, reading the first line and...

On one side:


And cheerleaders in the right. Site won't let me post, easily.

I thought snooki lived in Jersey



Did the victim almost die from smoosh smoosh?

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .38 Revolver, the oldest handgun in the world, and would maybe blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, pumpkin?

Thank god it wasn't a banana.

Hey, hey, hey, I had friends on that death star....

No, it's a story about Stockton. It's dodging.

As a Stockton native, I can say this is damn funny, and painfully accurate. There used to be a slogan painted on the water tower as you drove into town:
"Stockton is Great! Take a look!" We always wanted to paint an addendum to that:
"And duck"

Yay! Stockton, California! A complete and utter shiathole. Glad I moved the hell out of there.

It's the heat and chemical fertilizer. At least you don't have the slaughterhouse and the sugar beet plant like Tracy does.

This drive-by gourding scourge has to be smashed immediately.

Defend yourself against fruit!

Years ago, my dad was in the hospital all busted up because some asshat threw a pumpkin off a bridge and it went through the windshield of my dad's truck.

Pretty scary time for the family. He survived ok, but still has the scars.

Some people simply need eliminated from the gene pool.

imagine my (total lack of) surprise when i see wilson wy in the story

Fista-Phobia: Nothing. Can I shoot subby in the face with a tree eighty?

no. you need about tree-fiddy

When you add the speed of the car to a thrown pumpkin, it can do some serious damage. From a standing position, an average person can probably heave a 20 pound pumpkin about 20 feet at 10-15 mph. How much more damage will the same pumpkin do at 40 mph? (physics challenge! please show your work.)

Police suspect that it was a deliberate attempt on the woman's life and have placed an officer on 24 hour gourd duty outside her hospital room.

Yup. Every fall in my home town, the high school kids would raid the local pumpkin fields and go out mailbox bombing. Load up the back of a pickup with pumpkins and see who could toss one out at 35-40 mph and hit a mailbox (mailboxes at side of the road, not on the houses... obviously).

You could tell the folks who had become victims more than once. They built brick or solid metal structures around their boxes.

Yes, we had little to keep us entertained in rural/suburbia.

Hate, HATE articles that are actually transcribed puff pieces from local news... They read even worse than they sound on the tube.

A .38? Well, isn't that... special ?

I lived in Stockton for 12 years. Don't plan on moving back there.

It's terrible that this happened to that woman but unsurprising that it happened on Wilson Way. That street is very well-known for having women walking along it and attracting attention from men in cars, if you catch my drift. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
