| We're doing a new pumpkin prank this Halloween, which will be our last pumpkin prank ever. Why will this be our last pumpkin prank? Because I'm sick of putting these things together. First I suggest to the crew, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if we sent out a pumpkin to all 50 states?" As usual, I find it's funny until I actually have to do it, as the following photos illustrate. | |

Here she is: the pumpkin that will go down in American history.
Arrrgh, and a fine lookin' pumpkin she be. |

I'd like to go on record as saying that the Canon ZR-30 is the worst digital camera in the world. I actually sent a complaint into Canon once, asking if I had received a faulty camera, or if this is the way the pictures were supposed to look. They never responded.
I mean, look at these photos. The Zapruder film had better resolution. |
| Cutting 50 pieces out of a pumpkin is no easy task, which is why I used my Black and Decker power jigsaw to slice through the vegetable in record time. (Sometimes it pays to be a homeowner.) |
| Here's how it worked: I assigned each state a number, and pulled pieces out of the pumpkin in groups of five. I then put a coat of polyurethane on the pieces to discourage spoilage, though in retrospect, I think that might have made things worse. |

All 50 pieces, wrapped and ready for shipping.
Sweet God, I hate that digital camera. Every photo looks like it was taken in communist Russia. I've seen bathroom voyeur photos with better resolution. |
 | Here's the pulp, which I'm thinking of mailing to Canon, in return for all my pain and suffering. |
