It's the first annual (ever!) MetaChat Halloween Stuff-Carving Contest.→[More:]

Carve something. Preferably something of the fruit/vegetable variety, but if you're feeling creative, whatever. Post it to flickr. Link to it here.

(This is a contest only in the friendliest of senses. If I could afford a prize, I'd afford one. But I can't. So it's all for the glory, baby.)

Mudpuppie, I feel the need to carve a Walter Matthau to go with you JackoLemon.

*Goes to find a lumpy, droopy gourd*

i love that zombapple! : >

That apple scares the shit out of me.

And for that matter, so does the squash.

jrossi, I defy you to produce a Matthau!

Nice carving, geezer!
