Halloween Pumpkin Carving 114
Following a previous story about a Dremel pumpkin carving kit, we've got a number of pumpkins to share with everyone. Leading off is Kathleen's Strong Bad. Next up is our first
Cacodemon, followed by
another Cacodemon and a Spider Mastermind.
quan74 pointed us to The Pumkin Lady who has carved up heads of state and has a pattern for creating your own Tux.
Kirk put together a tutorial for a
1upkin.
And finally,
droops sent us in the classic
Jack-O-Linux which never gets old.

Sweet. Used to have to copy and paste possible tubgirl pages to Opera. Internet Explorer's new popup blocker has fixed this. I wonder if they still got my clipboard. Does anyone know if Opera also reveals what is in your clipboard to Lastmeasure? Not that it matters this time as all they got was the url to some very ugly mp3player/sunglasses.

It is tasty and nutritious, being packed with beta carotene
The notable exception being the afforementioned 'Scariest pumpkin', which is packed with something entirely different. Pray that it's flushable.

So I hear that the Chester Alan Arthur pumpkin requires over 80 candles, and you have to change the candles every few hours.

Good question. We carved three pumpkins yesterday. It was the first time using the 'skinning' technique. One was the gargoyle-looking one from the Dremel site, and the others were Marvin the Martian and the Tazmanian Devil from elsewhere.
In addition to using a Dremel, I also used some dental picks. The WB characters were a bit too detailed to get much use out of the Dremel, so they were mostly done with the picks. As I worked in an

Last year, one of the guys a couple doors down did one (this is on a college campus). He set it on top of a bunch of empty pizza boxes and scattered beer cans all over for effect. It was great.
