Everything I Like Causes Cancer

Where we've been convinced to write a new post on Dec. 2. Stay tuned!

If you have big strong arms . . .

And concentrate really hard . . . 

You just might be able to carve a pumpkin as awesome as mine.

But it will never be as scary.

Dang thing gets me every time!

That's not as scary as the dropsheet in the background - ostensibly to wrap the body in...

Were I the type of hooligan to smash pumpkins, I would pause before yours and let it live to frighten another day.

Stop looking at it then!

Haha, that pumpkin is awesome!

I thought you were going to put it on the JRM construction guys' ass like that pumpkin ass picture from the other day and you were going to say...."and you can put it on your ass" (showing picture of JRM Construction guy) ..then, "but it will never be as frightening as this" (and then you'd show a pic of the pumpkin as guy).....does that make sense?

Very impressive (and scary) pumpkin!

I once made a pumpkin that was puking. That's the height of my creativity.

I love the pumpkin. I have never been able to make it look that good. It's magic.

Actually, that's a very well carved pumpkin. Maybe ya'll should be professional pumpkin carvers. Or maybe not. I don't know.

Dr. Zibbs: I'm ashamed to say yes. Somehow I get you, even when no one else seems to.

Since we were all sick last weekend, we didn't get to go to the farm and get our pumpkins. Sadly, we're going to have a pumpkin-less Halloween this year.

For a while, it seemed that we were going to have a costume-less Halloween, as well, but fortunately my wife found the appropriate costumes for both kids in the appropriate sizes. Hooray! The day is saved!

I can't have a pumpkin as the jackass kids in my neighborhood will smash it (I'm looking at YOU Mcgone) and then I'll be all angry at the universe and then I'll have to secretly plot how I could smash YOUR pumpkin out of jealousy, and...

that's just too much work. I'll save everyone the trouble and just dump a can of pumpkin puree on my front stems and avoid the middle man.

I like your scary pumpkin though, despite my obvious jealousy.

Whiskeymarie said...

front STEPS.

Gah, I really need to proofread these things.

nice job.

If you would give me your address, I would come steal the pumpkin. I'm like that. Better yet, if you just post your address on your blog, it would save me from having to open up my email. Thanks :)

Nice carving work. Those tiny little saws really do the trick, no? Remember the good ol' days of using a regular big ass knife trying to carve the teeth, which inevitably carved the teeth right off? Ahh, memories.

Very scary!

How did you entice others to do the lifting and cutting?

Pistols: Those two are my minions.

I'm impressed!

I'm something of an artist, and I'll never be able to do that. AWESOME.

That thing almost made me fall outta my chair.

In other news, I totally love your Jack Handey Deep Thoughts widget on the side there. Man, we are so alike it's scary.

My favorite quote in the world (for about 8 or 9 years now) is, "Dad always said laughter is the best medicine. I guess that's why several of us died of tuberculosis." - J.H.

Just.. magical.

I was just over at that Deep Thoughts site thanks to the link below that widget. It made me remember another of my favorites:

"If a kid asks you why it's raining I think a cute thing to tell them is, 'God is crying.' If they ask why God is crying I think another cute thing to tell them is, 'Probably because of something you did.'" - J.H.

Fuck I love Deep Thoughts.

I'm with Falwless on the Deep Thoughts widget! I love that Jack Handey.

Verwy Scarwy Pumpkin, Ms. Gwennie
