Want a Pumpkin Badge? Pumpkins carved or costumes worn win!

[wildmaven]

The rules are simple. You can do one of two things to get it:

• Carve or decorate, in a ProBoards theme, a pumpkin or any other type of gourd (an orange balloon counts if you really can't get pumpkins) and post a picture of it. You can decorate with the PB logo, carve a likeness of one of our admins, carve a replica of someone's avatar, carve a meme that originated on this board (emu, anyone?), etc.
  
  Or:
  
  
• Put on your Halloween costume and take your photo with you holding up a sign that says something good about ProBoards (yes, the sign can cover your face if you're shy).
  
  Anyone found doctoring a photo using Photoshop (or other editing program) in order to win, instead of actually doing the work, will be disqualified. I'm spending my money on these badges, so no cheaters.  
  
  Edit: Contest deadline is Oct 31st. These pumpkin badges are a limited time offer but don't expire once you get one! If you don't feel like doing any of the above, why not buy a badge for yourself and support ProBoards!

Edit:

Examples of what is accepted:

1. A non-ProBoards costume while holding up a sign saying something good about ProBoards. If you don't have paper, find a napkin (toilet paper?) or something else on which to write.

2. A ProBoards themed costume.

3. Your kid or pet in one of the above.

4. A pumpkin/gourd or pumpkin/gourd product decorated in a ProBoards theme.

I guess I need to go out and fine me a pumpkin to carve. I've never actually carved one before, but have always wanted to.

This has come a week to late. My grandad grew a huge pumpkin but then my mum and her friends took it and carved it up to cook with

have to see if i can buy another for this

....

too early?

hints for early craving:
moisture keeps the pumpkin from drying out 
Vaseline acts as a good way to keep the moisture in
during the day time move the pumpkin into a refrigerator or allow to soak in water before putting in fridge "depending on its size"

I freeze mine after I crave them "beginning of the month" I have 2 chest freezers for harvesting plants

Very cool, but submitted pumpkins must have a ProBoards theme in order to get the Badge.

If you decorate your pumpkin pie with a ProBoards theme, then I'll accept that, too.

I read that after linking
... can't you try and bend those rules?
one reason is the craving of those types require me to dig out my dremel again 

that pumpkin was done by dremel and I only buy 1 pumpkin a year "pricey"

Cost goes down at the end of the month. They want to sell them more then trash them.

I know
here in Michigan pumpkins are pricey depending on the size 
I always go for the medium-large to extra-large which would cost around $6-13
