only thing I have right now are two fresh untouched gourds....I am not going to carve mine till the weekend before halloween to prolong the eventual rotting....and to keep the damn squirrels from nibbling at it...

Cool!

It's too bad junior is now a teenager (in so many ways!!

), I used to love helping him carve pumpkins when he was a little kid. I know I would get "the look"

if I were to ask him if he wanted to do some jack-o-lantern work. Screw it, maybe I should just do it for me!

Do it!!

I still have to pick up my blank pumpkin canvas, but I will definitely be carving one (and there are no children in my house).

Screw it. You're right. 'Tis the season!

Just hope some punk ass kid doesn't smash them on the front porch like in years past. I've got a 12 gauge pump and know how to use it!

Happy Holloween folks!!

Here's one I carved a couple of years back -- Thank you, DucCutters, for such a gourd-friendly logo!

Very cool!

It's all about appealing to his interests.

If you ask him if he wants to carve a pumpkin and expect him to carve a simple, boring smiley/scary/zombie face/flying witch/something trite, he's gonna give you "the look."

If you ask him if he wants to help you carve a jack-o-lantern that's vomiting down the front steps, or one that's eating the brains of a second pumpkin Hannibal Lecter-style, you might get a better response.

But he is a teenager, so the eye roll is always a possibility.

Yeah, constant eye roll!

But he does love Grappa's pumpkin avatar picture! Heck, so do I.

AJ · October 18, 2011, 12:00:34 PM

Or a small pumpkin exploding out of a large pumpkin's gut, Alien style?

Totally ripped it off a picture from the web... but it's the first pumpkin I've carved in over 10 years:

Punx Clever · October 23, 2011, 11:51:21 AM

That just brings into sharp contrast how unoriginal I am. Thanks
