For Billy Corgan's band, is "smashing" a verb or an adjective?

On Oct. 30, you can see contestants rounded up by K-Bull FM toss pumpkins off Trolley Square's Tower.

Each will aim for the sun roof of a car, 75 feet below. I think they will aim for a special car procured by K-Bull, but just to be safe, it's probably a good idea not to park your car at Trolley Square that morning.

Besides contestants' pumpkins, a huge 500-pound pumpkin will be dropped. Hopefully not on the sun roof, but then again, it's not my call.

All 20 contestants will be in costume and will join in for a 50-pumpkin grand finale drop.

The event is being called the long-titled "Johnson & Johnson present the K-Bull 93 Scary Carrie Pumpkin Drop at Trolley Square," and the winner closest to the sun roof wins $300 in cash, along with tickets & backstage passes to (above) Carrie Underwood's Nov. 19 concert at the E Center.

The smashing pumpkins begin at 11:30 am.

Listen to Johnson & Johnson in the mornings between now and Oct. 30 on K-Bull 93.3 to become a contestant.

Before that, he spent five years in the Coast Guard. There, on boring midnight watches on the bridge, he would try to keep himself awake and/or keep from throwing up by singing "Thunder Road" to himself while balancing a sextant on his nose. (He'd also look for drowning people, of course.) He also likes condiments, except when throwing up.
