Is it Midnight Already?  - has anybody else heard that joke?  It's the punchline from a joke about having sex with a pumpkin.

That's enough, people. I think we can all agree that my suggestions were the best.

If Beefheart's involved, may I suggest, Pumpkin Claw Hammer?

Lipstick and Cigarettes

I don't know, I'm feeling nostalgic for that website. Why does Make Out Club still exist, and Lipstick and Cigarettes doesn't?

Also, I'm waiting for Wes to post here and blow everyone away.

Thanks for the recs, Fredericks.  I wound up going with the DeRogatis book but I'll check those out too.

Laurie, Wes suggested "When The Blood Is On The Pumpkin" on Twitter.

So far my #1 candidate is a variation on one of Martin's: Half-Moon Mirror.  It doesn't really mean anything, and sounds melodramatic, which is pretty much exactly like the titles of all those plays I'm imitating/parodying.  Also, I should say that the piece itself is going to be called "Habit," and most people probably won't know or care what the play happening inside the big fake house is called.

Hey, how about part of what you just posted, Shaggy2Grote, Inside The Big Fake House?  I'd actually go to see something with that title.

I just want to point out that if you choose Martin, you're going have to spend more to ship the awards to Sweden.

The winner is Chris L, The Cool Person.  But not for this piece. I'm actually just going to weave together a bunch of Chris' posts and tweets as a solo show and try and get it to Steven ("Wings") Weber's agent.  The grab bag of plays will also double as Chris' royalty payment, in perpetuity.

Actually the director likes Half-Moon Mirror, even though there were some awesome titles in this thread.  But (with all due respect to everyone's favorite guardian of the gems) the point is less about having a good title and more about having something that sounds like one of those "gritty" 70s-style stage dramas.  Martin, PM me with your address!

But anyone who wants a bunch of my published plays should just PM me.  I'll send them to whoever wants 'em, as long as supplies last.

The important thing that we all learned here is that the traditional Irish Halloween jack-o-lantern turnip is eight hundred million times more terrifying than any carved pumpkin is, was or ever will be.

Also, "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkins, Die" is going to be a huge Halloween novelty hit next year and make Bobby 'Boris' Pickett come back to life so he can wish he was never born.
