Nearly a ton of pumpkin

For some reason this reminds me of the One Ton Tomato parody of Guantanamera.

Pumpkin Squashes Competition In Weigh-Off

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. -- A giant pumpkin from Iowa is the prize of the patch after squashing the competition in a heavyweight championship on California's coast.

The gigantic gourd tipped the scales at 1,658 pounds to win the 36th annual World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay on Monday. [...]

At $6 a pound, Des Moines grower Don Young will take home a $9,948 prize. He says he didn't expect to win and is very happy.
