Transcript:
Victoria: Wow... are you girls going to make all those into jack-o'-lanterns? Danae: Oh, they're much more than that, Victoria. Lucy: But we can't say why. Victoria: Um... why not? Danae: 'Cuz it's a secret... Kate: ... and if we told anyone... Danae: ... the universe might implode. Victoria: ... So I thought you should know... even for Danae, it seemed a little weird. Joe: Hmm... you're right, that is weird. She usually says ex-plode... To be unusually continued.

Pumpkins?! The vessels are pumpkins?!

Victoria’s secret! (Sorry; had to say it.) Pumpkins, ehh? Timely, to say the least that comes to mind….

Sisyphos, I suppose technically it would be Danae’s Secret, but I’m happy with Victoria’s.
But pumpkins? That’s one short-lived hiding place!

I guess they’re not in on the loop.

What are “Gourmet Fried Clams”?
jimcos almost 14 years ago
Just like regular fried clams, but 30% more costly. And you get fewer per order, but they are served with parsley!

And why would you put ketchup on your Gourmet Fried Clams?

Gourmet FRIED CLAMS?! Too funny.
Digital Frog almost 14 years ago
Makes sense, since the Ekert feeds on those that are out of their gourd…

The vessel can’t be the pumpkins, surely! What happens after Halloween, and even if you extend them into Thanksgiving . . And what if someone decides to take the pumpkin and make pumpkin pie with it?
No fair, Wiley!!! You’re driving us crazy here! (Granted, it’s a short drive, but still!)

Frog, good one. But, wait. Are they going to chop up the Ekert into little pieces that fit in many pumpkins?
Plods with ...™ almost 14 years ago
Gourmet Fried Clams come in a plastic basket. with TWO napkins. Ketchup for the fries. Tartar sauce for the clams.

When the active statement is “… even for Danae, it seemed a little weird.”, is that not one of the signs of the Apocalypse?

No. pumpkins can’t be the sacred vessel, because the Ekert needs someplace to hide year-round. Statues, idold, sculptures? Maybe mistook a pumpkin SCULPTURE for a real pumpkin.

@Night-Gaunt49, what about Nyarlathotep, or Shub-Niggurath?
rmleon almost 14 years ago
Trees. Build him a treehohouse.

Edie is just giving the kids something to keep them busy while he figures out where to put the Ekert. ‘Cause there ain’t nothing squooshier than an old Jack-O-Lantern!

When did the Clam Shack get renamed? (And I still liked Brenda better.) But I notice Victoria has a ponytail again….

Hey Thirdguy… I was the first to agree with you about the pumpkins… :)
g6793 almost 14 years ago
Pumpkins! Didn’t see that coming…but it makes a weird kind of sense…
alan.gurka almost 14 years ago
I prefer to use habanero (Scotch bonnet) peppers as jack o’lanterns. Anyone eating them deserves to have their faces (and innards) light up!
