Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Knucklehead pumpkins are known for their warty growths as are the wart-covered Galeaux d’Esyines. According to culture.wnyc.org, the high sugar content in the pumpkin cracks the outer skin creating this corking or warting.
