(We have a lot of filters in place for brand-new members because we get a lot of spam.) Those are some phenomenal carvings. Did you carve freehand or transfer a sketch? Do you use any professional carving equipment?

Thanks.I created the rick grimes stencil on the computer using picture editing software.It took a couple days to get it looking right but then I printed it out and transfered on to the pumpkin.I used a basic pumpkin masters carving kit.If anyone is interested in the Rick Grimes pumpkin stencil ill add a link.The zombie girl can be found by searching "bicycle girl pumpkin stencil" on google.

Our ancestors carved the dirt lines through conquest and started systems to manage it all that are crumbling from age and abuse. A global society needs renewable everything, and a willingness to share, rather than hoard wealth and power.

No, they don't play hockey or football. They own the teams and make billions of dollars a year because fat, stupid people would rather pay money to watch someone else do something athletic than do something themselves.

Those "corporate cunts" on the golf course make their money from these modern gladiatorial sports and the mindless consumers who obsess over them.>> ^alien_concept:

My thoughts exactly.
I'm definitely not one of those powerful businessmen carving up the country, but I do love to golf. It's hardly a meaningless activity to me.
It's particularly ironic because at the beginning he attacks how warlike America is... maybe he should attack sports like football and hockey which are war analogues instead of a peaceful, relaxing sport like golf.>> ^PHJF:
Well that was fine until that bit about golf. I like golfing.


Corporate cunts don't spend time that should be spent in meetings or deserving the vast sums of money they get playing hockey and football though, I doubt

Here's my pumpkin for Halloween 2011. I had't carved a pumpkin in years and when I used to, it was always just a quick, scary pumpkin face. This is the first time I've put any real effort into more of a detailed pumpkin carving, and I'm kind of happy how it turned out:



Took over three hours. I sketched my outline based on this image.

(If you're wondering, I didn't include a VideoSift note in the photo because I'm not eligible for the contest. )

Pat Robertson: "Halloween Is Satan's Night"

shinyblurry says...

You're right, the association of Samhain with the Celtic God of the dead is dubious, I retract my comment there. However, you are still way off. The celtics were pagans, and they did more than just light candles. They would build huge bonfires and conduct vegetable, animal and human sacrifices to their gods. Read your own sources. This is macabre to say the least. Whatever the original purpose of the festival, which was terrible enough, it has been further corrupted by the occult over the centuries and more recently the neo-pagan movement. Ritual sacrifice as worship to spirits and spell casting is most certainly done on this day. This is a power day for the pagans. Some call it the devils birthday. Satan is indeed paid tribute, as any worship of spirits goes to demons. Before you try to correct me, let me just tell you that I have a lot of experience with the occult movement and I know exactly what they think about halloween, and how they celebrate it. They look forward to it all year. You think you're just looking at some harmless and quaint tradition, but has an evil origin, and there is much evil done on it; it is nothing any Christian should get near.

There is no "Celtic God of the Dead"...
It's not a celebration of evil at all, and no worship is paid to any "adversary"...
It is a time for passed loved ones to be remembered and honored.
It is a celebration of death, yes, but not in the morbid fashion. The spirits (your loved ones' ghosts) are said to roam more readily during this period, which is why Gaels and Pagans set out a candle (sometimes within a carved turnip) to represent a guiding lantern home.
Also, spirits != demons.

Halloween has both Christian and pagan origins. Christian, because November 1st was All Saints Day, and October 31st was All Saints Eve. Pagan, because November 1st is called Samhain, which is the celtic new year. Samhain is the celtic god of death. On the eve of Samhain, pagans would make sacrifices to their gods and the spirits of the dead were said to roam free. Today, the pagan and occult community embraces Samhain as their new year. It is regarded as the day when witches are at the height of their power, and they cast many spells and worship spirits(demons) on this day. Whatever it once was, today, behind the facade of candy and costumes, it is a night when evil is celebrated and worship is paid to the adversary. It is certainly not anything Christians should participate in, nor anyone else with a single ounce of discernment.

Also, animal sacrifices which are then cooked and eaten? I don't see a problem. Sounds a lot like Thanksgiving.
