Last year about this time Cranks introduced me to the more-awesome-than-words-can-express website called Extreme Pumpkins. Here are some of the reasons why this website, and the accompanying book ...er, books... rock:
1. Extreme Pumpkins takes pumpkin-carving as seriously as it ought to be taken, which is to say very seriously. Even the most adept carvers will agree that the entries on this site are mind-blowing.
2. The proprietor of the Extreme Pumpkins franchise, Tom, is from metro Detroit! Represent!
3. Tom also is a good writer, and is funny. His posts crack me up.
4. There's an annual pumpkin contest! You can see the 2008 winning pumpkins here.
5. The puking pumpkin. It rules.
So, if you're looking for inspiration for your 2008 jack-o-lantern, look no further than Extreme Pumpkins. You won't be disappointed!

thanks for the tip. very helpful!
Some people bring intellectual muscle to the blog. Me...I bring puking pumpkins.
At least I know my place in the world.
LOL, Cranks!
Friends: want to do something a little less low-brow than a puking pumpkin while simultaneously showing off your political activism? Check out these "Barack-o-lantern" stencils from yeswecarve.com. (Get it? Ha!)
In the spirit of bipartisanship I searched the web for McCain stencils, but I could only find one (download it here).
Happy Carving!
Ooh! I just found more political jack-o-lantern stencils (including a Sarah Palin one!) here. Thanks, Associated Press!
