pumpkins can win contests

I know this because my pumpkin did just that. I attended a lovely fiesta called "BYOP" and there was a contest for the best carving. We were assigned teams randomly, and my partner was a nice guy named Kevin. I had not met him before, but it turns out strangers can carve pumpkins together without any problems.

This is our winner. We won silly putty and a 3-pack of Pop Rocks for our efforts (which turned out to only have 2 packs in it).


A shout out to Toby, who lent his creative ability to me by creating a template for my pumpkin. I did not use said template, mostly because it was largely incomplete and also quite nonsensical. But I still think the inspiration helped me know what not to do, and therefore contributed to the win.
