I have a 150 pound pumpkin to carve today

[AllegroRondo]

any ideas? suggestions?

Its a family tradition, we buy the biggest pumpkin we can find and I spend the day carving it. Last year I did the house from the movie Psycho. But what to do this year? Theres SO much space to work with.....

5. I promise to post pics - but here's last year's

It was only 105 pounds. Last year was a bad year for big pumpkins.

7. Wow! What is it?

You should take this years picture a little further away, so we can see how big it is! ;)

Are you using a chain saw to carve it? :rofl:

2. How about Ichabod Crane being chased by the Headless Horseman?

4. Now THERES a plan!

i dont think the kids would get it, but I know some of the parents would.

Or maybe just the album cover to 2112.

[Dr. Strange]

8. Ooh, yeah, the 2112 cover!

Wait, with or without the naked guy?

[AllegroRondo]

14. how about the inside cover?

now THATS scary!

[Dr. Strange]

16. That would be scary!

:rofl:

Be sure to take a picture and show us the result, whatever you end up going with.

11. Are the seeds normal size?

oh dear, that would be a lot of seeds.

:hi:

[AllegroRondo]

13. seeds as big as your thumb

I gutted it last night with an 18 inch bread knife and an ice cream scoop. Must have been 30-40 pounds of guts alone.
