You. Are such. A FREAK.

It’s a VEGETABLE, Karl, not possum entrails for crissakes.

Yah – what DID you do in Snootyville for Halloween? Bus in po’ folks from the ghetto and make THEM carve your designer squashes? Or did you just not participate in anything so PEDESTRIAN as Halloween?

Doug’s right, the toasted, salted seeds are wicked yummy.

Pumpkin looks good. (For the record, though, the less I hear about your virginity where the defiling of vegetation is concerned, perhaps, the better.)

OK – everybody has to check out the pumkin done by Bryan (who I’ve only met once). I love his pumpkin! http://thatisinteresting.blogspot.com/

It puts mine to shame.

Karl, hadn’t you ever carved a pumpkin as a kid? I can’t believe you were confronting stringy pumpkin innards for the very first time.

Beautiful! I went to a caeving party over a week ago, and I left my pumpkin on my boyfriend’s stoop. I looked at it this morning on my way out…in the week since I’ve carved him, he’s completely drooped down and his teeth have shriveled up.

Excellent pumpkin! …I didn’t know that they smell.

Remember when you used to just draw on them. …or did the store do that?

I love it. Congrats to the conquering hero (snark) ;-p Wilbur is a perfect name. And actually, the fresh-cut smell lessens after a day or so. Until the mold appears, that is. I’m incredulous that it’s the first time you’ve ever carved a PUNKIN!!

C’mon Karl! Sticking your hands in the goo is the best part! Although you’re right…it does look like orange alien snot. Anyway, glad you had a good time. Be good to Wilbur in his last few days on this earth.

Did you keep the pumpkin seeds to eat? They are yummy if you rinse them…salt them and bake them I will be carving up my usual 10 pumpkins between today and tomorrow (gotta line my front steps with them)…you could come be the innard remover
