**the legend of scary gardeners.....and other spooky things**

We have such vid imaginations here, I thought it might e fun if we created a Halloween Story; using ficticious character along with our usernames to convey the story. I'll create the setting, and the next person can jump on in and add something.

"It was a densley foggy night that night so long ago in Dave's pumpkin patch, when Trish.....

heard a strange noise from the garden. She urged Dave away from the computer long enough for them to be.....

......snatched by the gnarly grasp of some grotesque, twiste image of 'Shoe! ......

It was that gut wrenching laugh of his that put them wise. It's so dark and foggy I wonder...could it really be "SHOE"

.....Dave said. Then Trish with her hands clinging tighly to Daves arm, she feels something slightly brush her leg....

She GRABS it and it............

slimmy yuk my skins crawling help me Dave get it away

Is it a snake or is it a gator that Lisa has sent

Or maybe Laura's toothless croc or her leeches from Australia?

Dave picks Trish up, and starts to run, when something, started wrapping around his feet. ( to himself now Dave stay cool don't "PANIC") Oh for heavens sake it's just the vine from the pumpkin "I think".

Dave, ever being Trish's hero, turns and dauntingly heads towards the light. Just as he sees the edge of the clearing, a huge claw snakes out of the night and.....

grabs Dave and takes off. Could it be Granny Honibee or

is it the evil spirit of Gray Ghost, sent by the maniacal Funkiaman? No wait, it's

Jon's dog, Marty with his bright orange trick or treat claw bag..."Arf, Arf, Arf,Arf, Arf(translation: gimme sompin good to eat). Dave gently puts Trish down and she heads back towards the house to grab some scobbie sncks for the pup. Dave and and Marty head of in search for Jon. Marty dern near knocks Dave down as he bolts to ward the house. Humbled, Dave rolls to all fours and attempts to get up when he hears a terrifing shriek!

It's Talon....and he's running toward Dave and Jon at a stupifying pace, shrieking in a tone significant of the most terrifying nightmare, he seemed to be saying......

Someone ate all the bud's, off every flower, I've got!!!Quick,Dave ,you must stop them!!!Dave turns - but its to late,the bud eatting flowerpot comes closer.....

.....it was chomping away on Dave's favorite Brug! When Dave saw what was in this horrible creatures, disgusting mouth he.....

grabbed the vine that had brushed against Trish's leg and began tugging. The brug eating flowerpot shrieked again. "Hurry Jon, go get reinforcments. I wont be able to hold him for long."

Trish had already heard the commtion outside and called .....

Dave are you ok what's going on out there? Dave screamed......

bring me some Love Lies Bleeding...Quick! maybe it will kill this bud-eating monster. And have them fetch some of the ramps from Laura's BBQ. All of a sudden a hush fell over the crowd and........

Dave donned his Love Lies Bleeding and crooned, "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You...". It was hard to croon while being *this close* to a flower-noshing flowerpot, but he panted out the words in a pretty good tune nonetheless. To his surprise and dismay, ...

... he accidentally stepped on and squished one of the biggest garden slugs known to man between his toes...

.....poor Dave was sinking, deep into the depths of the foulest, slimey mush of the odeous creature the slug. The flowr-noshing flowerpot giggled in glee and ran off, Brug in mouth towards Dave's Garden, where he found......

.....Gardenwife ,trading plants with a Mystic .The Mystic said ,in a mysterious voice"take these badseeds and..."but she never had a chance to finish!The mad brug said "give them to me .NO seed is bad!As the brug lunged for the seeds ,the Mystic threw the seeds towards Dave ,who was still in a gooey mess.The bag broke open ,as they gently fell,like a light rain,they turned into.......

...sesame seeds, coating Dave who now wished that his gooey coating was honey mustard for a new DG cookbook recipe, but nonetheless, an eerie smoke arose from those seeds...

...it was rising into the air, where the night air blew it twirling and weaving it's way on it's evil journey to......

the haunted pumpkin patch. The brug eating flowerpot following the smoke stumbled into the haunted patch of pumpkins and stopped dead in his tracks....

.....there, in the middle of the pumpkin patch......stood the miniacal presence of 'Shoe! He was brandishing something that looked reminiscent of a machette in his left hand, and in his right was.....

Oh no it is the head of what looks like

.......one of Dave's prize winning gourds! No, wait....the "head' actually has lips and it's sending out a eerie chant, that breaks into the silence of the night...it's lyrics seem to be saying......

....nothing! Dave realised to his absolute terror that the gourd was puckering up to him - in his horror he thought there could be nothing worse, until..........

....he realized it was trish,who had been turned into a gourd......

....and a warty one at that.........

by dropping the gourd (ouch - sorry Trish), and running for his life - until.......
