I'll give you bonus points for just saying you want to do this one! Man, that looks like a pretty intense carve! Are you going to do it on a real pumpkin? Someone did last year and it didn't last very long afterward so make sure to take pictures early of it.

BTW: I'd give you double points if you said JP's new Spider-man pattern!

I'm sure Ryan really, really appreciates you saying how you are going to carve other people's designs......on his website!

Its a bit like using your wedding speech to rate all your ex girlfriends bedroom gymnastics!

Why not twist that carving tool in the back just a little more? LOL.

Me, I am a defender of the faith. I have pledged my allegiance -

100% ZeePee and always will be!

Not a bad little slogan that.


Anyway good luck with The List

I didn't intend it as a personal slight. Good grief no! This is only my 2nd year but I love it here! I think Ryan's designs are fantastic, but I also don't think I should have to defend myself against the charge I'm somehow personally doing him a disservice through disloyalty. Can I not choose freely what designs to carve and be honest about it?

Perhaps I erred in revealing my full intended list. If it soothes agitated morals I shall be carving.


1 Pinhead (ZP
2 Howl-O-Ween (ZP)
3 Lost Boys: David. (ZP)
4 Eric Draven w/ Crow (ZP)
5 E.T (ZP)
6 Lord Voldemort (Modified ZP Design)

List is not exclusive and may be appended or subject to revision with an eraser. :wink:

Hey Joe,

I was only joking! At least you had given Ryan a 60% to 40% split of your pumpkins!

Although if it were me, I would be mortally wounded that you were carving SOMEONE ELSE'S JOKER

Ha Ha!

Oh.

Sorry it's hard in print-based media to tell when someone is joking or not.

It's why I like these guys so much. :wink: :lol: :D

And, not that this is relevant but I also have a learning disorder which means I tend towards being a bit over literal so don't often 'get' people's intend meanings.

Apologies if that was a bit passive/aggressive.

Still friends? :)

And if I buy any more pumpkins (I'll go broke - but seriously! :wink: ) and Ryan does release any more pumpkins of the standard that Pinhead/ ET / David have been recently that percentage will only increase!

Regarding the Joker. (Hate me for saying this) but I preferred the profile. I am using Ryan's "Ha" "Ha"'s though so it's a sort of 60/40 split there too.

Friends....of course! No need to apologize mate!

I should use more emoticons to show what is implied. Unfortunately, I have a rather sarcastic sense of humour which sometimes gets taken seriously which has led to a whole host of problems in the past..............

I am planning on getting another 6 or 7 pumpkins (11 have already) The ones at Asda for £1.50 seem best value but a couple have gone soft already so I have tried to sculpt one (see other part of forum) using The Count design......it was an unmitigated disaster and I'll try out another new design on the other one.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing ALL your carvings when done. :D :D

After 4 of my pumpkns went soft yesterday I replaced them but when I was at Tescos I summoned a Tesco monkey* over to the pumpkin stand cos I was finding soft and rotten ones in the baskets. They don't seem to check....

And likewise. I look forward to seeing yours too!
