    went to a halloween party tonight where we were supposed to watch Karloff's 'frankenstein' performance so I made this one this year.

    We drank tequila and listened to a podcast of the original war of the worlds broadcast instead... mostly just drinking tequila.

    Kids pumpkin is tomorrow.

    That is AWESOME, CrazyDave. Nice. He is quiet, he is horrifying. He is the original MONSTER. Well done, sir.

    finals, that jack-o-lantern has a grisly look to the R. It seems to have crawled out of a tomb. The pumpkin looks SICK. No, seriously, it looks green... sort of like the Yahoo! :-& smiley. Is it the lightning around it?

    I will try to video-record my carving today. :cool: I'll post it if successful.

    Thanks to you, your Swoly-ness. Nice work on yours as well, ambitious undertaking with all that text.

    You're welcome, Mr. Dave, sir.

    I had the misfortune of learning about what it takes to carve out so many letters, and I did a better job with the DYNAMO one. That was the first time I used the "scrape" method for the shield... and it ended up looking GREAT.

    I must say that it wasn't all perfection on the letters. In fact, on the Houston Rockets one, it was especially difficult to carve the letters upside down. I sort of messed up and carved the "S, T, E, K", and then a big FAIL on the C and O (you can see it on the image). Notice how the C is an O. :( I swear I will not do that next time.
