******Fatdaddy's Note******
Snaked this one from off the can of Libby's Pumpkin. Good stuff. Funny story from when me and Motor and Peff baked it. We had all the ingredients in the mix master, and had locked it down while it mixed. I turned the mixer off and turned to grab the rubber scraper from Motor. I went back to the mixer and unlocked it to pull the bowl off. Except I'm blind and distracted, and instead of flipping the unlock switch, I turned the thing back on. Full speed. Suddenly.

Not Good.

Anybody old enough to remember that Danny Ainge Meadow Gold commercial from the 80's when he was making the milkshake and the kid turned on the blender without the lid? Yeah, it was about like that, except with pumpkin. I don't reccomend that particular move when trying this recipe.
