I sometimes get these crazy ideas. OK. So I often get these crazy ideas. And sometimes, I do something about them.

In case you're wondering, here's how to carve a pumpkin to look like your friend.

1. Get on your VPN and Google "pumpkin carving photo" or some such nonsense.
2. Skip all the sites wanting you to pay for them to do it for you, and read through to page two where someone will tell you how to do it yourself.
3. Curse yourself for not having Photoshop while trying to use Picasa to up the contrast and posterize and do all sorts of crazy shit to your photo.
4. Go to the market to buy ink for your printer.
5. Print the photo on a piece of paper.
6. Wait until the last minute (6 pm on Halloween) to trace the photo onto your pumpkin with whatever is on hand (which happens to be a tracing wheel you got with your new sewing machine).
7. Carve. 
8. Insert candle.
9. Burn thumb trying to light candle.
10. Take photo.
11. Laugh yourself silly.

And yes, it does sorta look like Elvis.
