[Enderturtle]

Happy Halloween BAR! Are any of you carving pumpkins this year? Either for yourself or with your kids? If so, take a second to post a picture of your pumpkin in this thread! We have 3 prizes you can win!

Figured it'd be worth a shot to see some nice jack-o-lantern carvings and this gives me an opportunity to give some stuff away .

The Rules:

1. Post a picture of your jack-o-lantern pumpkin.
2. Must include either a note saying "BAR Jack-O-Lantern Contest" or include yourself in the picture.
   • We need proof it's your pumpkin from this year!
3. We'll vote to see which pumpkins is the coolest!
4. We will pick the three winners on Monday November 2nd.

3 Prizes:

• Jack-O-Lantern Leptoseris Frag #1 (1/2 Inch Frag)
  • 
• Jack-O-Lantern Leptoseris Frag #2 (1/2 Inch Frag)
  • 
• 5 Raffle Tickets to be used in Frag Swap Raffles.
  • 
• 1st place chooses a prize. 2nd Place chooses a prize. 3rd place gets left with the remaining prize.

Pumpkins must be CARVED......into something! Does not have to be aquarium related.

Dang, I would totally enter this if I was a BAR member (instead of just a lurker!)

 

[Enderturtle]

Anyone can join the contest but I aint shipping a frag to sacramento if you end up winning

 

[BirmanReefGirl]

No worries, I'd see you at the MARS swap

 

[humu]

I would do this if I had any carving skills. Great contest idea.

 

[neuro]

gosh, this is a great contest

Damnit, I gave up carving pumpkins years ago when some kids stole my Stewie (Family Guy) pumpkin from the front one year, plus this isn't exactly a neighborhood where kids go around.

 

[Enderturtle]

I'm not in this contest since they are my frags I'm giving away, but here's a picture of my pumpkin from last year

 

[sfsuphysics]

Now is that a pumpkin or a kobacha?

 

[Ahruk]

I think it's a Cinderella pumpkin but pretty sure we'll accept carved squash if they're creative enough

I love the banner - did you do that @Enderturtle Michael?? The Nemo pumpkin - can't tell but is there any carving on it or just painted on? - just adorable!!

 

[Enderturtle]

Thanks geneva! Haha I didnt do the Nemo carving. Looks painted with some attachment tail thingy.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Still looks awesome. I did a 3d carving of more or less the BAR logo some years back, even went the full 3d treatment by having tentacles coming out using gummy worms, overall it didn't have the effect I was looking for, and it was a waste of gummy worms

At this point, since nobody has posted anything, does that mean that basically any submission wins?

 

[Enderturtle]

If only 3 people post pictures of their poorly carved pumpkins and November 2nd comes by, they are automagically the winners

 

[Enderturtle]

I will be fragging this in half to be used as the prizes.

Have no fear! I am biding my time

 

[Colin Rose]

Yeah, me too! Enderturtle, is that the actual frag? That thing is amazing. Nice camera work too.

 

[Enderturtle]

Yeah the jack-o-lantern leptoseris eats like a pig. I've been feeding it reef-roids and coral frenzy pellets. You can see the mouths open up and sucking in the food.
