So after the Texans game downtown i headed over to the Forth’s for pumpkin carving madness and all around good times. I had planned to stop by the K-roger near their place to pick up a pumpkin. As i was on my way Crystal called and informed me that there were no pumpkins to be had in her neighborhood and if i could pick one up for her. Thinking this wouldn’t be an issue i gladly agreed. But who knew that there is a pumpkin shortage in Nashville. I’m sure it’s a supply chain issue as i could easily drive by a farm that grows pumpkins on my route to work. They really should figure out what brown could do for them and their supply chain issues as it’s ridiculous to lose out on pumpkin sales at the height of pumpkin selling season.
All they had was some tiny pumpkins and some very small pumpkins that someone drew on. After Crystal’s tiny baking experiments i figured the tiny pumpkin would be funny as well as the small pumpkin for her to actually carve. ( i decided to pass on the pumpkin carving as i do not have the carving skills to carve a tiny or small pumpkin) . So i texted her with the information that i got her the last pumpkin on earth. This is what she did with it… Quite lovely (without the proper tools to do this type of carving too )

And no i’m not disappointed that i didn’t get to carve a pumpkin myself, I’m just glad i was part of the process of pumpkins being carved, games being played, pumpkin seeds being toasted. All in all it was a great weekend.

what can i say? cutco is clearly the superior cutlery product based on the outcome of tiny pumpkin carving and john is clearly a superior friend based on the fact that i even had a pumpkin to carve. without cutco cutlery and/or john, halloween 2k6 would have been a disaster.

Nice punk’in, JV. Looks like if it were any smaller you would need a scalpel. I coulda hooked you up- but I’m fresh out of meat hooks- muuuhaaaaahhaaaaaa!!!!!

well i can’t take any credit as Crystal did the carving.. Are there safety scalpels you know ones with the rounded edges or something.

i’ve never carved a pumpkin…and i’m jealous. i turn into a pumpkin every night about midnight (actually, it’s getting earlier and earlier these days), but that’s just not the same.
