Pumpkin Contest Anyone???

If someone manages to carve the orange "Tex with gun" silhouette I'd be so impressed I might just die on the spot.

As for myself, anything else than two triangles and a few rotten teeth exceeds my expertise.

Come on Frank, with all those Kits they have out for you to trace and cut... If I had a big enough Picture of the Silhouette I'd attempt the Tex Pic... I think I'll go and see if I can one... I'm certain it could be done...

I'm getting my labcoat out of the closet, skewing my glasses, ruffling my hair up, and aim to run around with an extremely oversized (and yes, FAKE) butcher's knife. I'm hoping to scare the absolute crap out of people.

After all, it's only allowed for one night of the year

Oh I know I'm exaggerating and surely I could give it a shot.

Pretty much any carving is possible if you know how to properly play with the shadow tracing.

Although we don't celebrate it much here, I think it has really taken off the past few years... mainly becuase its a great excuse to have a good time, and to get treats from the neighbors.

About 10 years ago I'd go trick-or-treating and after a few hours of knocking I would only be a few treats richer. But these days (caus I accompany my girlfriends little sister) you find that every second person has treats... so I think it is finally taking off.

Also, going to a party on the night where the theme is Sexy Halloween... should be interesting.

-Cub. =o)

I always want to carve a pumpkin but usually never get around to it. Maybe I can commit myself to it this year.

Cub? Get pictures. Thank you.

I agree.

No way. We might cut ourselves.

The thing I like most about carving a pumpkin is part of what I like least.

Scooping out the insides of a pumpkin is a slimy mess. But after you do that and separate the pumpkin seeds from the slime, you can salt and bake the seeds. Fresh baked pumpkin seeds are very yummy.

Well I found a big enough picture of the Silhouette, but a few modifications need to be made to it in order to make it possible to do a carving of it... I've been looking it over and will attempt it over the next few days before Halloween... If I'm successful I will have a picture posted by Friday...
If I am successful, Frank you gotta promise that you won't die... It just wouldn't be the same without you... A Mild Heart Attack is acceptable, but no dying...

When I get excited over silly things all sorts of outcomes can occur. I can't promise anything but I'll do my best for it not to end in death!

In the meantime I'll go back to worrying about my irrational fears and recurring ridiculous nightmares.

This is a Halloween Thread, do share...

Like coming home and meeting himself there. Or perhaps just as creepy, picking up the phone and hearing yourself on the other end.

Oh yes. I know your mind, Frank me lad! I know your mind!
