2008 CECK Pumpkin Carving Contest – Vote For Your Favorite!

October 19th, 2008 by BillyOceansEleven Leave a reply »

As we did last year, we are sharing our family Halloween tradition with you and asking for your help in deciding who has the best pumpkin of them all. Below you will find the inspired creations of various members of our family (posted anonymously) with a picture and short description. All we ask is that you leave a comment voting for your favorite. We’ll tally the votes received through midnight Halloween night and feature the winner with its own post shortly thereafter.

If you are visiting us for the first time, please take a few minutes and have a look around, laugh at my cheapness, and maybe make a quick $25 by opening an ING online savings or checking account. Enjoy!!!

#1 Mr. Pumpkin Head – I wasn’t carved. I was accessorized. VOTE FOR ME. You know I look like a member of your family.

#7 President Obama – A political statement on the policies of Barack Obama. “It’s not that I want to punish your success…when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” Welcome to communism, comrades! Vote Obama!

#8 Lucky – The name’s Lucky. Or maybe Unlucky. I just had a harmless disagreement with my husband and somehow 40 laptops fell right on my head… It’s the weirdest thing…

#9 – Bumpkin – Call me Bumpkin! Not because of my bad complexion but because I don’t have a job. I’m coming to your house! Not to eat your kids but to sit on your couch! What you got to eat?

#10 The Enforcer – Does someone own you money, call you names, or just tick you off? Call on me and I’ll take care of it; no questions asked!

#11 Super Spider-Pac-bat – Inspired by comic books and game systems. P.S. All freehand, no stencil was used.

And finally, bringing up the rear 

#12 Les Smiles – This prankster can hardly contain himself.  Why?  Because there’s a full moon tonight!!!
