I watched that show with my husband as well. He said they were "freakin' whack-a-do's" which is what he usually calls us...soooo....I don't know if he's lumping us all together, or they've got their own special whack-a-do catagory.
And does that make him a "whack-a-don't"?
Guys this is tooooo funny!! I saw that show too and thought that the gigantic gourd growers were pretty odd -- I mean I grow pumpkins for flavor not for impressive size.
But you're right, I'm not one to talk really, because I AM obsessed with my birds. And my poor mother gets nearly daily...
