"Eat your way back to a great sex life."
Is it just me????
Posted by: jamester | August 17, 2004 at 11:55 AM
jamester - no, we all had the same thoughts...

And now, a pumpkin seed Haiku:
Gal eats pumpkin seeds,
Guy eats a little blue pill.
Party all night long.
Posted by: Sarcasmo | August 17, 2004 at 12:00 PM
Jamester - exactly.
As in "Find yourself wearing a bulge enhancement product? Eat your way back to a great sex life."

There once was a lady from Leeds
Who cornered the market on seeds
She wasn't no bumpkin
She liked to eat pumpkin
And lots of other more interesting things too.
(I was just sure I could come up with a closing line ... must be too late in the day. Besides, what double entendre word rhymes with seeds? Slowlayne (and others) I bow to your superior skill).

How about a "bulge enhancer" made of pumpkin seeds? Huh?
And, yes, "Eat your way back. . ." was just askin' for it.

"Dr McKeith lists pumpkin seeds among more than 60 "great sex" foods, from adzuki beans to wild salmon."
Just what makes a salmon go wild anyway? Is it all that up-stream swimming just to lay some eggs and die? Do some of them revolt and just say "hell no, we won't go".
When .Salmon go wild, this Sunday on FOX 16. Then stayed tuned forWhen Good Animals Go Bad 6. All starting at 8 eastern, 7 central only on FOX.

Although, come to think of it, the fact that the same thought occurred to Higgy and Christobal doesn't exactly reassure me after all...but now, at least, like Brat, I've got company :)

For orgasm a Middlesex lady did yearn
But lack of blue pills caused quite a concern
But the natural way
Soon saved the day
'Cause pumpkin seeds did Jack-her-lantern
(Laribo wins this round)

A small thing, but my own...
If you yearn for a sexier lunch,
"Pepitos" can pack quite a punch.
Though they say pumpkin seeds
Can meet a girl's needs,
It depends (if you will) *what* you munch.

*staring blankly at a half-eaten piece of pumpkin pie*

With thanks to Lairbo (and apologies to everyone else):
D'Artagnan the pieman was lurkin'
While his lips on dessert were a-workin'.
You silly young bumpkin,
Don’t only eat pumpkin!
The pie that you crave wears a merkin!
Posted by: Lenore | August 17, 2004 at 12:38 PM
Yipe! LMC, that was YOUR rhyme I cadged, not Lairbo's. Apologies with my thanks, thanks.
Posted by: Lenore | August 17, 2004 at 12:41 PM
Wow, all those years I thought my Mom lied to me when she to me women got pregnant eating a pumpkin seed.
Turns out she wasn't lying.
Posted by: Graz | August 17, 2004 at 12:57 PM
I boweth to thee, Lenore...
I think I'm hungry again anyway.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | August 17, 2004 at 01:05 PM
"Which satisfied all of her needs."
Posted by: golfwidow | August 17, 2004 at 01:11 PM
What a seedy bunch -- you guys crack me up! I never really post to the blog, but you have inspired me to come out of my shell today.
Posted by: Jeffmeister | August 17, 2004 at 01:12 PM
I'm late. I'll go now.
Posted by: golfwidow | August 17, 2004 at 01:12 PM
Go, golfwidow. Go.

I guess Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, was quite the stud...
Posted by: Mike Weasel | August 17, 2004 at 02:05 PM
I guess I am the only one pondering how this news could somehow help moms and dads everywhere encourage their kids to eat their brocoli.
Posted by: Brad | August 17, 2004 at 02:27 PM
D'Artangnan, that plume on your tricorne tickles!
Posted by: Lenore | August 17, 2004 at 02:41 PM
Excellent, Lenore!
(Of course I posted this several days ago when Judi was off ogling Hugh Jackman in NY, but SHE takes the credit. Not that I'm bitter. Really.)
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | August 17, 2004 at 03:20 PM
Dang! *she winces prettily*
D'Artagnan, I am desolated that my fingers erred.
Et quelle mystère! Though appropriate covering-type protection is always appreciated.
Posted by: Lenore | August 17, 2004 at 04:05 PM
Jeff, I thought I'd seen this posted before...and thought I'd seen many of the same comments. In fact, I thought I'd made a few of them. Whew! for a minute there, I thought I was getting psychic. Well, guess that means my numbers ARENT going to win in Powerball tomorrow night. Oh well.

In the style of Hotdog Eating competitions, we should have Ladies Pumpkin Seed Eating competitions, with a group of average looking blokes in the audience. I'd pay to see exactly how many pumpkin seeds is too many....
Posted by: Brendan | August 18, 2004 at 03:02 AM
I came back. Sorry, Dodge D'Artagnan.
"Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Had a wife with no libido
So he fed her pumpkin seeds
Now she's meeting all his needs."
And now, having re-re-disposed of the monster, exit our heroine, stage right.
Posted by: golfwidow | August 18, 2004 at 03:52 AM
I have a feeling men were buying these seeds for their wives.
Posted by: entertainment news | August 18, 2004 at 01:16 PM
eat your way......oh forget it.....i think we are all in the gutter on this one!
Posted by: cheekdog | August 18, 2004 at 05:28 PM
Pumpkin seeds! Thou heavenly meal
that, once consumed, the maiden chaste,
in all her comely needs revealed,
in all her sweaty passions vast!
Nah... to artsy for this group. Or:
Eat your way... oh, forget it
We must all be in the gutter
Pumpkin seed, don't merely spit it --
Swallowed, then, the means to rut her!
Ah... that's better.
(with apologies to cheekdog)
