Every year, we hold a pumpkin-carving contest. The year before I started with my company, we won with a "Gourd-geous burger and Boo-tine". A pumpkin cut in half, made to look up like a hamburger, and shell pasta painted white and had ghosty-faces.
Last year, we won again with the "Escape from the Pumpkin Penitentury". Hollowed out pumpkin with mini-pumpkins "escaping". Quite amusing, really.
Well, this year... we have Gourd. Boss-man and Sup spent a lunch-hour brainstorming this one, and when I got into it about an hour later (after my lunch), Boss-man asked me to come up with a last name. I tried out a few gourd-related ones. Squash, Acorn, etc. Then I came up with a kicker that made Boss-man laugh so hard he cried and the Sup was in giggles for half an hour. Boss-man couldn't talk for a good ten minutes and also chuckled all day. The name?
Butternutt.
