You had to say milk:

It's World War III in my house these days because my wife started drinking skim milk and I can't stand it.

Yeah everyone, one Jack O Lantern, (See post #1) does not a contest make !!! Anyone shoud be able to beat that! Besides, who needs fleece in Florida? Actually we have a forcasted 44 degrees F tonight after Wilma makes her grand departure. Burrr!!!!!!!! My poor old previously posted pumpkin died of heat stroke over the weekend while camping 85 degrees plus heat, no way that moldy oldie was getting back in the car for the trip home.

I've got three pumkins waiting to be carved. I guessing the circle eyes, triangle nose and square teeth is not going to be good enough for this one. I'll try something, but if I carve like I cut wood, there will not be any pictures. :fb

Bledsoe,
A lot to be said for traditional renderings. Classical art styles are aways in demand. Or, maybe you could be the first to use a skilsaw on a pumpkin. Who's that guy that does the "Sledge-O-Matic"? Sledge hammer on a watermellon? It's not always how you carve it, but where the pieces land.

Carve on brother! :thumbsup:

Thanks Chip. My 4 yr old just about fell of the desk. She begged my not to do it again. I had the music up loud for her to hear. Shame on you.




I can't wait to try it on my 7 yr old. :twisted:

YES !!! I'm IN ... I got my now teen boys to do some awesome carving a few years ago, and so I bought several of those pattern books.
I just bought pumpkins the other day and will get them carved tonite!
I'll submit only the one that I do myself ... to be fair.
Hmmmm now to think of something clever...

AND ... do we just post the picture here on this thread or under our personal gallery? AND can we only submit one per household?

FUN FUN FUN

Hey Jewel,

You can post it in your personal gallery, and place a link to it in this thread. If you need help with that process click on "Help with Photos" above.

You can send as many photos as you want... Only 1 is going to win!

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
