Norm and Gourd Discuss Pumpkins and Halloween

This monthly column features a titillating discussion between brothers Norman and Gordon McLuhan from Moose Jaw.

This month’s column is sponsored by Sobey’s. Sobey’s  – like No Frills, but with frills.

 

Norm: Hi, I’m Norm McLuhan, and this is my brother, Gord – 

Gord: Hi there.

Norm: – and today we’re gonna discuss, uh, Halloween.

Gord: Spooky, eh?

Norm: Real spooky. 

Gord: It’s a McLuhan boys’ tradition to carve Jack-O-Lanterns every year –

Norm: – and every year we try to smash each other’s.

Gord: Wait, what?

Norm: Ya, and every year I win.

Gord: You’re the hoser who keeps smashing my pumpkins?

Norm: Ya didn’t know?

Gord: Aw, my kitty cat Jack-O-Lantern.

Norm: Smashed it worse than when Scott Stevens crushed Paul Kariya in 2003.

Gord: Smashed it worse than when Scott Stevens crushed Eric Lindros in 2000.

Norm: Smashed it worse than when Scott Stevens crushed Ron Francis in 2001.

Gord: Smashed it worse than when Scott Stevens crushed Slava Kozlov in 1995.

Norm: Love Scott Stevens.

Gord: I miss Mr. Whiskers.

Norm: Just a suggestion to all of you: don’t bake your Jack-O-Lanterns into pies.

Gord: Don’t do it, eh. Whiskers was a few weeks past his best before. 

Norm: Real shit pie, eh?

Gord: Real shit pie.

Norm: This has been Norm and Gord McLuhan – 

Gord: Boo, eh!

Norm: – discussing Spooktober.
