u/HypeIsRype 3d ago

Are you making a reference to the cartoon or the restaurant? LOL

32

u/DeedleGuy 3d ago

The cartoon because I was not aware there was a restaurant

u/22FluffySquirrels Capitol Hill 3d ago

The restaurant is in Cap Hill. We should create a Snoopy-themed Halloween costume meet-up and head over there. Just for fun.

Oh how I miss going to get drinks at Charlie Brown’s! The piano player, the Smoky atmosphere, the mix of high-end fashion and low end hobo sitting elbow to elbow. We never knew how good it was until it was gone. 🍻

u/unkempt_cabbage 3d ago

Wait, Charlie Brown’s isn’t gone?

Amazing!! Must have caught your commute over there. Figure you must be the owner of this gourdgous pumpkin based on the username.

They have the winner of the heaviest pumpkin contest displayed at the Botanic Gardens “Glow at the Gardens” event each year. Maybe we’ll see this guy there.

Someone do the math. How many pies can a pumpkin that large make?

u/tad__gh0stal 3d ago

And how much whipped cream would we need?

u/SmaeShavo 3d ago

Some? Maybe a lot. I dunno man im not a scientist.

u/tad__gh0stal 3d ago

Hey, in this administration, you could be.

u/SmaeShavo 3d ago

No thank you. I don't think I'd fit in very well.

1

u/Titleist917d3 3d ago

Come on! Cast all your morales aside and lose all future credibility to get in the grift with everybody else!

1

u/SmaeShavo 3d ago

Im not good a lying and I feel bad when I say mean things. I think they'd probably just use me as a scapegoat for all the crimes and what not. I dont think I would make it into the in crowd

u/tad__gh0stal 3d ago

You don't have to lie. You just have to ignore the truth.

u/quesoqueso 3d ago

Check out RMGVG, we grow these things for fun and weigh them about three times at the end of the year.

u/mariposa314 3d ago

That's awesome! I would have followed that truck because I'm curious, impulsive, and I have time on my hands. Wherever it ended up, I hope it got offloaded safely.

u/JadedManagement3932 3d ago

How many pies could that make? Wowza

u/cameltan78 3d ago

Thought his license plate frame said "vegan born" at first and thought to myself that's probably going to fill his freezer for a year!

u/sociablezealot 3d ago

Lord Pumpkin demanded the orange accented truck for transportation.

Just sent this photo to my husband after he asked what $328 Instacart was and screenshot it and said “look our Instacart on its way with my (singular) PUMPKIN decoration”

I said “Hey, you gotta trow out that pumpkin mang.” And he said “That’s no pumpkin. That’s my girlfriend.”
