Those little tea lights or small bulbs you’re supposed to put in pumpkins never really seem to show off their scary features. You get this little light that the wind is probably going to blow out after a couple of minutes or no one from the street can see the impressive carving you came up with.
I believe I have achieved the pinnacle in pumpkin illumination. Here we have Mr. Jack-O-Lantern with his scary face being sufficiently lit up with the help of a little accelerant. He certainly lights up the night sky now! The kids will be able to see him from all the way down the street. No more wondering which house is up to the challenge of having tricks or treats for the little kids. With this little display on the lawn or sidewalk you are saying to the neighborhood, “That’s right kids, there’s candy over here, by all means come and get some.”
Then again it’s just as likely to say, “Attention everyone! I’ve completely lost my mind and the chances of you being incinerated are pretty damn high!”
This was my beta test to see how my new Halloween plan was going to work. I have to say, it was pretty successful. Maybe for the next go-round I will roast a hot dog over his flaming skull.

This is from an experiment I did last year. We took a little pumpkin and carved him up all nice and pretty.
Then we let him sit.
And sit.
And sit.
No, that black stuff on the side isn’t from him being charred. It’s what we like to call… fungus!
He sat for a little over a week and this was the final picture I got before he disappeared.
What happened to him after that day we’ll never know….
BUWHAHAHAHAHA!

I’m glad to see TemplatesBrowser is gone, but it looks like some other piece of crap website has taken their place. Beware of this new site which is repackaging templates with spam links inside.
WordPress-Designer.com is the new TemplatesBrowser.com
Wpdesigner and many other blogs wrote about how TemplatesBrowser.com re-packaged many authors’ themes with spam links, more than a month ago.
Right now, TemplatesBrowser.com is down, but another site has taken its place. The new WordPress theme spammer site is WordPress-Designer.com.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Themes that are up for downloads on WordPress-Designer.com have been re-packaged with a spam link to promote a blog about forex trading.
As you can see, even one of my themes, Digg 3 Column, is on that site. And of course, I DON’T support what they’re doing.
