I spent most of Saturday getting my apartment ready for visitors, and, of course, Saturday was a gorgeous day–possibly the first sunny, nice day this entire month. So I spent most of Saturday cleaning and cursing myself for picking the wrong day for the party, because the forecasts for Sunday all of a sudden were rather unpleasant. I envisioned people walking in a pumpkin patch with mud up to their ankles and then walking into my freshly cleaned home and practically wailed in despair.<\/p>\n

Luckily for me, Sunday was gorgeous, too.<\/p>\n

Carrie, Anne, jimhark, and amazoni<\/a> met me at the pumpkin patch–conceptcanibal<\/a>, Dick, and Kayleigh were coming over later with pumpkins they’d already bought.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"s640x480\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here, Jim shows off the shirt that has been his favorite for years and years<\/span> he’s more than happy to ruin with pumpkin guts. Oh Windows ME, most hated of operating systems!<\/p>\n

\"00129f2s\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eventually, Carrie was talked into the wheelbarrow, which encouraged the rest of us to give it a shot. Unfortunately, when Jim gave Carrie a ride, it was all fun and games. When I hopped up into the wheelbarrow, it turned into a dangerous thrill ride from hell. Jim seemed fairly interested in murdering me in a pumpkin patch, in very short order.<\/p>\n

\"wheelbarrow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then he tried to kill me, with Anne. I had my camera zoomed in to take a picture, and he started running directly at me…but with the zoom, it looked like he was much closer than he actually was, so I shrieked and jumped into the pumpkins–only to discover that they were still a good distance away. Smarts, I am filled with them.<\/p>\n

\"0012bwkb\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"jim\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OH, REVENGE IS SWEET.<\/p>\n

\"0012ayz0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From these sweetly smiling faces, you’d never think that we were the sort of people who would try to murder one another via wheelbarrow, and mostly, that’s true–we generally try to use whatever is handy, and wheelbarrows aren’t around all that often.<\/p>\n

\"clenis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This pumpkin…reminds me of someone. Ah, yes, now I remember! It reminds me of Chyna. Namely, Chyna’s clenis. Please, for the love of Cthulhu, do not google that at work. Or at all. It’s pretty gross. Anyway, EVERYONE in the pumpkin patch got to hear the fact that I thought this pumpkin had a clitoris, as I screamed it across the way to Jim, who I knew would come and check it out. I wasn’t wrong. He thought I should buy it, but I felt that it belongs to the ages.<\/p>\n

\"0012drg6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"0012egqa\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"carve\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"carve2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"0012fsgb\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here’s what we all came up with:<\/p>\n

Anne made a Frankenpumpkin!<\/p>\n

\"frankenpumpkin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

amazoni<\/a> made a night sky pumpkin!<\/p>\n

\"0012hq7s\"<\/a><\/p>\n

jimhark made an emoticon pumpkin. Nerd. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"emoticon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

conceptcanibal<\/a> made a grim reaper, Dickzilla made an angry face, and Kayleigh did a night scene with spooky figures, bats, and the moon. The reason everyone looks so hot and tired is that my apartment heated up to practically 1000 degrees from everyone’s exertions and combined body heat. Having the dog running around like a whirling dervish among pumpkin guts and knives didn’t help things, either.<\/p>\n

\"0012p7qx\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s my pumpkin! I’m quite fond of the drag-queen eyebrows.<\/p>\n

\"0012qcf8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You kids who didn’t show up, you missed out on some good times; you’ll just have to look forward to Carve O Thon 2008!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
