Here’s my contribution if you do a Hallowe’en post.. Look who will be greeting the little punks kids, at our door tonight!
Actually, I’m going to a Hallowe’en party tonight and we are supposed to bring a carved pumpkin. I was going to take the easy way out and do a typical Jack o Lantern. Then, while having a nap, this idea came to me. I remembered I had a good image of Cannon that I had used to make a CD cover (for the endless loop Cannon theme song my friend made), so I blew it up put it in Word and then pinned it on the pumpkin and traced out the image by making hundreds of pinholes, then used a small knife to cut and peel the skin.
Great result for a first time effort, I quite impressed myself. The uneven surface of the pumpkin meat gives the likeness some real character. Other than peeling the pumpkin skin away I did nothing to try to add shadows to the face, they just naturally happened. I then thinned the wall of the pumpkin from the inside so that the candle light would shine through better.
Quite impressive.
Or, you can opt for this.
Now that is impressive….
I’m not sure how many under 30 will get it tho…
I shall satisfy my halloween enthusiasm by planting my garlic….
Wonder how many really scary Obozo pumpkins will be out there this year?
Will the White House have Chairman Mao pumpkins to go with the Chairman Mao Christmas ornaments?
Nah, they don’t see Mao as scary, more of a kindred spirit.
Pick one…

I’m not expecting any kids dressed up with burka attire, It’ll be a first if I see one and I’ll be certain to take a photo or three.
marc said “I’m not expecting any kids dressed up with burka attire,..”
They probably won’t be kids dressed up. Just people looking for free stuff. Then they’ll complain that you didn’t give them enough.
Put this in reader tips last night as well, but for those who may have missed it, here’s my Halloween contribution for this year.
Dubya — Miss me, yet?

And to make it really, really scary, play a recording of clips of The One’s most famous gaffs and idiocies. Shouldn’t be hard.
Colin’s Dubya pumpkin is very good.
My wife is doing Frankenstein’s head.
But then that is where my mother comes from…LOL!
Happy All Hallows Eve

That’s one ‘fat’ pumpkin alright.
The only thing I remember about “Cannon” is that William Conrad’s Lincoln was always getting its brake lines cut – so he ended up hurtling down hills at high speed.
PS – William Conrad was the narrator on Rocky and Bullwinkle
Maybe it’s just me, but the likeness reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe.
Did I hear W was throwing out the first ball tonight, along with his old man; could be bedlam in the stands!
I always liked Cannon’s big Lincoln Mark IV with the 460 cubic inch gas guzzler. And as I age and gain a more Cannonesque physique, I think I should buy one. You can still find them around here cheap.
“Did I hear W was throwing out the first ball tonight”
It’s a pretty sure bet that he won’t bounce it up to the plate … unlike some other chief executive.
Hans , your entitlement is growing again.
@cal2:
It’s a LIEberal thing, you know entitlements ‘an all…and it is Halloween.
