Palladium and Astatine had picked out a pumpkin for Halloween. Astatine had drawn a smiling face on it with a marker.

"OK, that's where we'll carve the face." Palladium picked up a kitchen knife and plunged it into the pumpkin.

Astatine gasped. "Y-y-you didn't t-t-TELL me y-y-you were g-g-going to k-k-KILL it!!" she stammered.

Palladium was watching her knife instead of her girlfriend. "It's OK, sweetie," she said as she cut out a lid. "Just pretend we're cooking it."

And then, Palladium reached into the pumpkin and pulled out a handful of pulpy "brains."

Astatine passed out.

"...oops," said Palladium.
