Pucarapsa

Semi-big things in the works today. Didn't take the bus -- had my reasons. Possible Yam session this afternoon.
From Wikipedia: In colonial New Haven, CT, cut pumpkins were used as guides for haircuts to ensure a round, uniform style. Because of this fashion, New Englanders were nicknamed "pumpkin-heads."
Rest assured that I will be complimenting passersby on their round, uniform styles this weekend.

On a more mundane note, I have been making sandwiches for lunch, which is exciting.

this also explains why new englanders have pumpkin guts hanging from their bushy, bushy, bushy eyebrows.

A lesser known fact: pumpkin halves were also used by new englanders as a (much less effective) guide for eyebrow trimming.

Even LESSER known fact.--well, maybe I shouldn't print that here.

Well, if we both have Pucarapsa then we have a pair of Spucarapsa. (These are the special vessels for drinking certain juices.)
