Unless you are a total  neo maxi zoom dweebie -- in which case you should not even bother carving a Jack-0-Lantern this or any other Halloween -- you take pride in taking big handfuls of orange goop out of a pumpkin each year. Half of the fun for me is carving whatever design my kids decided on for about 2 hours just to find out that I did it backwards!! " LOAD UP BOYS -- WE GOTTA GO GET ANOTHER ONE." Let me introduce you to Ray Villafane. Ray is an artist and just look at what he did with a 1,818.5 lb. pumpkin.  Yeah, I think I'll be sticking with stencil cut-outs.  Click the picture to see more of his work at www.inhabitat.com.
