About a month after Punkin Chunkin was canceled for the first time in its long history of launching gourds, the organization's president, John Huber, announced he's had enough.

Huber, in an email he sent to those involved with Punkin Chunkin, said he won't stand to serve another term. Huber did not immediately return calls for comment.

"I am resigning this year. Not for the bullies in this organization because they don't scare me or add any value to you, they are shameful. I am resigning because I just don't need it, I held this position for the best of the chunk always, always first...

Generally speaking, one of the first requirements for taking on a Punkin Chunkin World Championship is to make sure you have enough distance to measure the chunkins.

Supposedly they need to clear additional space because the air cannons would have been ranging the treeline. They're on the verge of breaking the one mile mark.

The new golf/retirement community in Bridgeville. I couldn't believe they built it, but I think it's doing OK. There's another in Millsboro. Don't get me wrong, I love my time in Sussex, but that's because I'm on the water and near the beach. Ivy will have to clue us in as to how somebody could retire to inland Sussex.

Ivy is the Oracle of Bethel. His IQ (and tooth count) is higher than the rest of the town combined!

I've seen the movie. Michael J Fox played Ivy.

Are you speaking of Doc Hollywood? Nothing as good-looking as Julie Warner has come out of the Broad Creek dripping wet, I can tell you. Except maybe a few smallmouth bass.

stuff like this is yet another reason this country is going in the toilet.
why should the farmer be held accountable for the fact that some dude can't drive his ATV worth shit?
