Okay, what do y’all think? If you carve your pumpkin in the image of Sarah Palin, is that because you support the Republican ticket and its sassy lassie, or because you think she is the single scariest image imaginable?
The husband has been doing those wonderful elaborate pumpkins ever since we got our very first pumpkin-carving kit, way back during the Clinton administration. We had a Bush pumpkin one year (it was absolutely gorgeous) so obviously I support the “look kids, he’s really scary!” view, but I want to know what others think.
We have a new kit this year – the tiny saws were getting dull, and the handles of a couple of them broke. And I just picked up two pumpkins at the Winn-Dixie. So we can do an entire ticket, if I can talk him into it. It takes hours. My job is to scoop out the seeds and prepare the canvas – he is the artist. It helps if there is a football game on the TV during carving time.
If he doesn’t want to carve McCain and Palin, you could always go with Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer.
I went to a Halloween party last night. Joe the Plumber was already there when I arrived, and shortly thereafter an entourage arrived — Sarah Palin, a moose, and a pink bunny. Fortunately, she had left her rifle at home.
(No idea why she brought a bunny, but the guy looked cute in the costume, and he was a good sport about it.)
Back on topic, I don’t think having a Palin jack-o-lantern would imply support. But that’s just me.
Personally, I think you should have him carve a couple of thirteen year old girl faces and maybe adorn them with Abercrombie or Hollister. Now THAT’S scary!!!
If you’re going for scary, have him carve the Cindy McCain pumpkin. Now that was a scary pumpkin. Of course, Sarah has the whole “you betcha” wink, wink creep out factor in her favor.
