Halloween contest!!

Ok Gents, this time we have a fun little contest that will test your skills with a blade! Post your most magnificently carved jack o lanterns in this thread and enter to win one super sweet Remington military knife.
This knife is a discontinued, demo model that I had to “borrow" from the bosses’ private collection. The rules are simple, post a pic of your hand carved pumpkin (Its ok if you let your kids help, we know not everyone is good with a blade!).
Of course we are operating on the honour system, since we don't have the tech or the inclination to scour the net searching for reposted images. Obvious fakes will be quietly disqualified. No criteria for what your carving should look like, though please leave out naked woman and man! As usual, our totally biased and since it’s Halloween, possibly slightly “spirited" panel of judges will decide the winner as they see fit. Winner be announced Friday October 30.
Here are the specs on the knife:
Remington MPD clip point knife
N690 stainless steel
DLC coated blade with etched Remington MPD logo
G10 handleMolle sheath, with leg extension
Made in Italy
5 1/4" blade, 10.5" overall
This was a demo knife, so while it is in excellent condition it does show some minor wear (mainly just the sheath)
And now the pics:

I cant take credit for these as they are my girlfriends. Either way I would like to enter them for her. The second is from last year and has a little chemistry thrown in for good measure.

I like my pumpkins toasty... Full toilet paper rolls soaked in kerosene for a few hours before the big day and they light up 2-3' flames for 45 minutes per roll. Drop a new roll in with bbq tongs as needed. Become the neighborhood badass overnight. Been doing it for about 5 years now, made the papers a few times and I now see youtube videos with the idea in it too.

I usually buy a big economy size package of 30 rolls of fluffy TP and put them in a garbage can filled with about 60L of kerosene for soaking. After halloween I put the leftover kerosene back in their containers and use them again the next year. Probably uses about 10L per year to keep 3-4 pumpkins alight all night.
