My Girlfriend Said That This Wasn't Possible...

Print[Bumped for awesomeness, even though the first sentence is completely true. We're always suckers for the script "Iowa."--OPS]
Before you start reading, none of what follows pertains to anything. At all.
So last night, as my girlfriend and I were brainstorming ideas for pumpkin carving, I mentioned an Iowa design. Its was of the word "Iowa" only it was in cursive. I think the last place I saw that type of lettering was on one of OPS' older-than-my-grandmother t-shirts. It actually could have been HS. I digress. After I informed her of the cursive pattern she promptly exclaimed, "You're not going to be able to do that." To which I said, "Go fuck yourself." Ok, ok, ok... I didn't really say that. But God, I wanted to. No, what I really said was, "It's going to be tough, but, seeing as how I'm supremely awesome, I think I can do it."
I just looked at the pumpkin and it lit up. Swear.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! GO HAWKEYES!

I should point out the orange handle sitting at my left, next to plate.
It started out as a helpful little saw… thingy. But before I was done it broke and transformed into a, carpel tunnel inducing/index finger wrecking, two inch long miniature sawblade.

Impressive!
I tried to do something this two years ago, earning me my nickname, “Mordecai Nine-Fingered Director.”
I was unsuccessful. Congrats for your effort, though! Very cool.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.
In 1983 I had a black wind shirt with "Iowa"
in that EXACT script on the front, it was embroidered, and people loved it. I wore it to all games for two years. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Well done!

That does not look easy. You know how your girlfriend must pay now. Do the deed and let us know how it went.
You had enough newspapers laid out...
to kill Paul Owen with a shiny axe while listening to Huey Lewis and the News.
Nice work on the pumpkin!
Who says he stopped with a pumpkin?
Maybe the pumpkin was just practice for “the real thing.”

Huey Lewis & The News
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in ‘83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

Yes it is!
In ‘87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip to be Square”, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

Do you like Phil Collins?
I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

I own both the...
Huey Lewis/News and the Phil Collins Greatest Hits CDs. They both rock.
No, I don’t own an IPod or MP3 player yet. Yes, I know it is not 1990.
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

That 8-track still working too?
Admit it…you have one. (both are great artists IMO)
Hawks....yup, I like 'em
Wife and I did a tiger hawk pumpkin
few years back, then one morning I noticed someone had pissed in it. Pretty sure it was my douche bag neighbor, he was a MSU grad and a major tool. Didnt help that me german shepherd would bark in the mornings and wake his gay ass up.
What a fuck,
I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here
That's pretty sweet
Had I attempted that, I would have wound up losing four fingers and doing nothing but putting a gigantic jagged hole in the pumpkin.
Fake!
This entire picture album was altered by some sort of magical computer software. Good Try!
Just kidding, well done sir.
