Pumpkin Carving, An In Depth Anlysis

You know, when you think about it, Pumpkin Carving is grotesque. If you really think about it, Halloween itself is rather grotesque. Fun, but yet grotesque.


I mean, Pumpkin Carving is basically killing a plant, scooping out its guts, cooking them and eating them, then carving a face in the empty husk that use to be a plant. And you don't even use something to numb the pain. It reminds me of the beginning of "Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (Which is the only part I've seen of that movie) Where that girl and her little brother bring a big pumpkin back to their house and when the sister starts to carve it the little brother looks horrified and says, "You didn't tell me you were gonna kill it!".


I mean, think about it from the pumpkins point of view. This time of year is the worst for it. There are sudden disappearances. It's probably like an alien abductions. The pumpkins that are too small and returned instead of carved tell all the other pumpkins that there were these ugly humanoid creatures that took them and some others and massacred the others.


All the other pumpkins would be in a panic, world wide chaos in the pumpkin world.


Then there's the actual holiday of Halloween, were we encourage kids to dress up as murderers, witches, and monsters. When you really think about it, its rather wrong.


But that doesn't stop me (the ultimate optimist) from seeing the good side of Halloween. Staying out late with your friends, getting candy, and scaring little children... That's what Halloween is really about. Except, scaring little kids isn't fun unless you get their candy in the mean time. Scare 'em to the point that they drop their candy and run. That's what it's all about.



BOO! Scared you didn't I? I did, well, I can see your getting angry, I should probably leave...


Card Kid out! Peace!
