Dick Cheney pumpkin

I was trying to think of the scariest face(s) to carve into my pumpkin for Halloween this year. Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes are more creepy than scary, so Dick Cheney won out this time. Check out the picture at left. I can't claim this was a wholly original design. The folks at www.spookmaster.com sell a pumpkin design similar to the one I went with. But theirs lacked three critical design elements: 1) horns (the need for which should be self-evident), 2) the sneer, and 3) angry eyebrows. Without these additional features, one could easily assume that I was carving a pro-Dick Cheney pumpkin. I was also going to carve the word "Boo!" over on the left, but I got tired. =)
