Preheat oven to 250F. Spread pumpkin seeds on flat tray; sprinkle with salt & pepper. Put in oven.
Go to computer and play Diablo II while you're waiting. Forget pumpkin seeds are in oven. Jump up and pull them out of the oven when you smell the smoke.
Wait for boyfriend (or girlfriend) to come home and start laughing at silly attempt to roast pumpkin seeds.
Dump burnt seeds over boyfriend's head.
There is a great streak of violence in every human being. If it is not channeled and understood, it will break out in war or in madness. ~Sam Peckinpah
