Don't forget the crafty Colin Glencannon.
They used to have a UCSD pumpkin drop in San Diego, but the city stopped
letting them do it from the parking tower downtown some years ago. Fun
stuff.

Re: OT - Californian Pumpkins
Forget ? Never even heard of him ! Seemingly a a thirty-nine episode black
and white British comedy and adventure series that ran for one season from
1957-1958.
Sadly, it isn't available on DVD, so will just have to wait until they rerun
it. Although it does seem like there is a book.
Sounds a bit like the tales of Para Handy on his boat the Vital Spark.

A whole series of books by Guy Kilpatrick about a pre-WW2 Scottish ship's
engineer.. Very funny stuff.
I have never seen the TV show, but I doubt it did the books justice
