The Third Annual Dirk Mancuso Nicky Bruschetta Pumpkin Carving Challenge is on like Donkey Kong once again! After last year’s rather poor showing, I am expecting a little more participation this year. Seriously people — how fucking hard is it to trot your ass to the local grocery store or farmer’s market, purchase a perfectly shaped pumpkin, take that fucker home, carve its orange ass to a fare-the-well, take a pic, send it dirk.mancuso@gmail.com and include CARVATHON 2008 in the subject line?
Allow me to answer that for you: it’s not that fucking hard at all as witnessed by my stellar efforts of the past such as this. And this.
So get your asses carvin’ already.
(Check back in a few hours for Big announcement #2. And yes — the announcements get bigger.)





I bow to Nicky, the greatest punkin carver of all time! I’ve always been one to cut out two triangles for the eyes and a slightly lopsided mouth. I won’t be sending pics cuz my attempts seem pretty pathetic right now.

I won’t be commenting until this evening but I can’t imagine an announcement bigger than the carvathon 2008! I don’t have carving skills.
