Think about it. Each Halloween we pulverize pumpkins to stick candles in their hollowed-out gores and put them on our front porch so that people know that we're friendly people with candy.
This ritual also marks the beginning of the most gastronomically wonderful time of year.
How so? Let us count the ways:
Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin Scones
Pumpkin Soup (Trust us. So good.)
Pumpkin Pie
And of course, America's favorite weird obsession:

The Pumpkin Spice Latte.
We've seen people trample small children to get to this drink. Get it together, people.
If all of these things made you really hungry, but you're still unsure how to get this pumpkin-slaughtering ritual started, here's a little "How-To" from Slacktory:
Happy Halloween!

We have been making friends on Twitter, and one of our fans sent us a PIE! @jetemple said we were his 100th follower on Twitter, and we asked if we won something (because, hey, why not, right?) and he sent us a pie, god bless him.
Here is @jetemple getting ready to send us our pie:
Amazing, right? Sigh. Our fans are the best. We love our fans. We've been watching the World Cup together, we've been trying to Cheer Up Keanu Reeves together, we've been watching Celebrity Autobiography together...so, yeah, we're pretty tight with our fans.
We're hoping to hang with some fans at the BANFF conference, where fearless leader/founder/CEO Rob Barnett is on a panel, and Illeana Douglas is receiving an award.
We're hoping to hang with some fans at some of the Celebrity Autobiography LIVE events.
We're hoping to hang with some fans at the Just For Laughs Festival in Chicago, with Wainy Days stars David Wain and Rob Corddry.
Finally, we're hoping to hang with some fans in a luxury box at the New York Mets' Citifield stadium. (Hey, we asked for a pie once, right? Figured it was worth a shot.)
