I went to Hobby Lobby the other day and they have a new Funkin Pumpkin Size. It is a short but very wide pumpkin. Probably not the best to use for carving since it is only maybe 8 inches tall. but probably close to 18 inches wide. It would work well for a wrap around design though.

For the etching part of the simpsons spider pig pattern did you use a dremmel to etch it or some other tool?

I would like to see the classic photo transfered to a pattern where Angus has devil horns.

I picked up the PM basic kit at Michaels which has four bonus pattterns in it that are a Michael's exlclusive (the bonus patterns appear to me to be patterns PM has offered in previous kits). From this kit there are a couple I might carve. PM Carving Party Kit This kit has about 5-6 patterns I haven...

Tharaoke:

I'm still betting the theme will be Spawn of the Zombie Pumpkins.

I checked out the Michael's here in Little Rock and they had a good portion fo the Halloween decorations up (Halloween Town, Halloween door signs, and some of the white Michael's carvable pumpkins). I'm sure within the next week or two they will have most of the rest up. I'll check my Hobby Lobby he...

NEW YORK (July 4) - In a gut-busting showdown that combined drama, daring and indigestion, Joey Chestnut emerged Wednesday as the world's hot-dog-eating champion, knocking off six-time winner Takeru Kobayashi in a rousing yet repulsive triumph. Chestnut, the great red, white and blue hope in the ann...

Just as time expired Kobayoshi had a "reversal of fortune" but was not disqualified. They asked Chesnut after the contest if he could eat another dog, and he said he could. LOL

Well Joey Chesnut not only brought back home the Mustard Belt, he also set a new gusiness book of world records of 66 hotdog and buns eaten.

Happy Fourth of July everyone. Have a safe 4th. I think this is the year that the Americans bring back the Mustard Belt to the U.S.A. in the Nathan's Hotdog Eating Contest. Takeru Kobayashi your going down! Go Joey Chesnut!

I went to Home Depot the other day and picked up two workforce tool boxes for $5 a piece. They are similiar to the one Ryan has pictures of except the top of the tool box is a clear lid that pops up with storage spaces and when you open up the main lid the inside tray is just like Ryan's. The tool b...

Kudos Ryan on another fantastic pattern.

Ryan:

Will you be offering 2XL for us "husky" carvers again this year for the new t-shirt design in 2007? LOL I'd appreciate it.

I've always gotten positive reactions from my pumpkin carvings.

Ryan, hopefully you are considering this title for ZP 2007.
