While I enjoy posing with a freakishly large vegetable as much as anyone, you are then faced with the question of, "What do I do with this thing now?" I recommend asking your neighbor if they would like some fresh vegetables from your garden.

For some reason, a Sasquash in Connecticut made me think of this, advance to minute four.
