This is not your father’s jack-o-lantern!

If you’re looking for an alternative to cutesy pumpkin-carving this Halloween, have we got a link for you: the folks at ExtremePumpkins.com are into shocking, gross, and funny pumpkin carving designs, and they’re not afraid to show it.

They’re also into power tools, and with good reason. Have you ever tried to carve a pumpkin with one of those little plastic carving kits? I don’t know what kind of pumpkins the manufacturers of those things got their hands on, but I’ve yet to meet any pumpkin I could cut with a dull, plastic pick.

Here is what little girls use to carve a pumpkin. The small blade prevents them from spraying pumpkin guts on their plaid skirts and from spilling pumpkin seeds into their loose socks. It is OK if you want to use a little girl’s pumpkin carving set. I won’t judge you. I also won’t make fun of you for spending two hours carving a pumpkin that everyone else can do in 3 minutes using a jigsaw. Nope. I won’t say anything. Besides, this pumpkin carving set has some advantages. For example, when you are done using it, you can store all of the parts in your powerpuff girls pencil box.

Obviously, ExtremePumpkins.com is not a site for little girls. It’s pumpkin-carving for adults. (My little girl won’t be using a jigsaw any time soon, that’s for sure.)

Check out the pumpkin-carving contest winners from past years, and submit your own entry for the 2006 contest!

I would like to add a photo with this post, featuring one of the many cool jack-o-lanterns from the site, but I haven’t been able to get in contact w/the site’s owner for photo reprint permissions, and I’m not chancing it.  So go check them out!
