I rarely go to About.com, the info site owned by the New York Times, there's something about the page layout and the logo that I can't stand. (except I went there for tips on pumpkin carving prior to creating last year's non-award winning masterpiece ) But I will overcome my distaste for friendly orange spheres because they have hired one of my favourite writers, the brilliantly witty, informed and cranky Pierre Tristam of Candide's Notebooks to create the content for their new Middle East Issues site.
Without even checking on the link I recall that you lost because you created Ellen Degeneres and didn't know it. Maybe this year you should do it on purpose.
FUCK YOU JOESTER! IT WAS STEVE IRWIN THE CROCODILE HUNTER AND THE RESEMBLANCE WAS TRULY HAUNTING!!!!!
I'm carving a Princess Diana pumpkin this year. (the kids love her and she's dead)
Good idea - Dianna sorta looks a bit like Ellen, so if you accidentally do it again it won't be so (what was your phrase?) haunting.
Some day I will show you my rapper-style commemorative lady Di T-shirt with larger than life size head and the text "The Woman We Loved" on the back.
I heard a rumour that the Lady Di pumpkin took the first prize this year. Is this true? Photos please!
The fix was in, C.R. After a year of complaining, whining and publicly referring to R.M. Vaughan as the worst art critic in Canada, [we-ell, he iiiiiiissssss!] I was informed that I just had to show up with something round and orange-ish to take the top prize.
L.M., Thank you for the nod. And cranky! I'd better work on my posture (although Cranky is one of my son's favorite characters in the Thomas train series).
Cranky is one of the better qualities that we display on this site.
I know a guy who says definitely Steve Irwin, not Ellen
