Ernest Goes to Improv Carves a Pumpkin!

Yes, Ernest Goes to Improv, the best damn improv group at UCCB got into the spooky spirit today by carving what really should have WON the damn first place prize in a pumpkin carving contest. But oh well. We were the best, and we know it, but the crowd of small children that judged it didn’t think so. Bastards. Anyways, here’s a pictorial of us doing our best damn carving of a pumpkin that Todd paid for!


The first step in carving a pumpkin is scooping out all the gunk. Here’s Brent doing that very thing! Pretty crazy, huh? Next would be carving it, which we actually have no pictures of, as I did the bulk of it. Kris did some, but whatever. Brent’s hands smelled so bad for the rest of the day.


Here’s Dave and Brent doing some detail work on the rear of the pumpkin, where it was decided to put an ass (as the guy next to us made his pumpkin barfing - so we could not be undone). They were having a lot of trouble with it. Mostly because they kept laughing insanely.


Here’s the group of us with our finished product. From left to right: Brent, Christian, Dave, me and Kris. It took a surprisingly small amount of time to do it - only about 30 minutes or so. Usually it takes me about an hour just to empty the damn thing, but we were racing the clock, so we had to hurry. But, it’s hard to see what’s on the pumpkin from there... what IS on it...?


That’s right: Todd’s Punkin Sux. We thought it was pretty funny, and so did most people who saw it actually. I’m amazed it actually turned out as well as it did. I’ve tried crap like that before, and it’s never usually that nice. And this was done by 5 laughing retards. I guess that’s the major moral here.


And here is the subject of our pumpkin’s mockery. In fairness, it’s actually pretty nice. I mean, it’s not hilarious or anything, but it’s still a nice carving. We even gave our pumpkin to Todd afterwards. I imagine he smashed it or something by now. Maybe Kris found it and ate it... seems like something he’d do.

I'm thinking about changing my thesis to "The Pumpkin As Text." All in all, I'd say that the 5 of us are pretty bad friends. At least when it comes to carving. We'll cut you up... much like the pumpkins! Oh man, that was so bad...
