Ok. In a display of bipartisanship before the election, I carved two pumpkins for the M.D.O.D. crowd. Notice that I put Obama on the left and McCain on the right just for clarity. I'm giving my sister these pumpkins for a raffle at her school. I'm curious to see who brings the highest prize! Trick or Treat?!? You be the judge. Happy Halloween! -85
erdoc85,
ReplyDeleteare you serious? did you really do these? if so, you are in the wrong profession. you could get a NEA grant!
Yeah, I really did them and no, I'm not interested in a grant. I'll pay for my own art work. That way if it sucks, I have only myself to answer to! Thanks! (At least I think you meant the NEA thing as a compliment. They are the people who funded the crucifix in pee aren't they?}
ReplyDeletethe NEA proved that there is no separation from atheism and state by sponsoring the artist who 'created' a work entitled "piss Christ" which is, i believe, what you are thinking of.

ReplyDeleteI love em, but where did you get the time? I hope you roasted the Obama seeds and gave them to the "less fortunate" among us.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was it. Another fine example of why the NEA needs more tax dollars!?!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of "art"....did you hear about the image of Sarah Palin that is hung in effigy outside of a haunted house in West Hollywood? It's considered "art" so it's deemed OK. However a lawyer on TV warned that if anyone tried the same thing with an Obama effigy, it would be a "hate crime"! Is this country going crazy or what?
It's either all "hate crime", all "art", or all freedom of speech. I do know it's all in poor taste.
doc,
ReplyDeletei linked that story in the prior post amigo.
'cat,
can i post your self portrait.. the one with the pipe (tobacco of course)?
Those are pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteNo freaking way. You sir are incredible.
ReplyDeleteerdoc85, I hope you don't mind taking a compliment from a 'woman' but your pumpkin carvings are incredible!
ReplyDeleteOh, and despite my leftward leanings, I agree with you on the 'art' comment. Poor taste indeed.
Really nice pumpkins! Kudos to you for doing them.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! My kids thought I was talented for the pumpkins I carved this weekend (posted on my blog if you want to see) but I am going to have to show them yours. (While I have my hand covering everything else here that is inappropriate for them to read of course).
ReplyDeletethe real question is: will the highest bidder be smashing their pumpkin of choice with a sledgehammer?
ReplyDeleteHeck, anyone can carve a design with a Knife, do that with a 12 gauge and I'll be impressed. Seriously, good work, and did you know Hilary Clintons birthday was Sunday. She was even wearing a mask.
ReplyDeleteYou must be a surgeon...and a damned good one at that.
ReplyDeleteSandi
I vote McCain...both ways
So I'm assuming that if one carved a pumpkin of Obama with his hand in my pocket,that would be a hate crime, too? Go for it, ER, and let's see what happens. You don't live in my disgusting state of California, so I bet you could pull it off.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the pumpkins ER. Be sure and let us all know which one wins.
ReplyDeletejust loved cat's post
You're giving them to your sister for a school raffle? Either she's in the third grade and you're Doogie Howser or sis is a teacher (thank God your parents have someone to brag about)
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your crafty skills erdoc!
ReplyDeleteYou sir, are awesome.

ReplyDeleteWhy do you want to post the portrait? To show off my artistic ability?

'cat, i thought we could have an MDOD art show. besides, i remember that portrait and the real reason behind you painting it.
ReplyDeleteHey...where is Bob Barr?!?!?! Only kidding....LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe big discussion between my hubby and I over the past several days has been whether to vote for Barr or McCain. We have been really torn.....we have been very disappointed in the direction the Republican party has been going for quite some time. My philosophy is more "I don't care what consenting adults do in their personal life....I just don't want to pay for any of it".
BUT......an Obama presidency with a filibuster proof Senate would be hell on earth.
This kind of helped seal the deal for hubby and I....McCain it will be

BTW.....can you carve me a pin up girl pumpkin? I would love that on my porch!
If you'd done this with an NEA grant, they'd want Jack-o-lanterns in pee... and that would put the candles out.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a paradox!
Information is leaking reporting that Sen. Barack Obama was treated for mental related illnesses in the 70's and early 80's and was prescribed anti-psychotic medications. Schizophrenia is the main reported diagnosis with a case of serve depression. It is suspected that he has not been taking is medications consistently.
ReplyDeleteSorry all. Been gone for a little while.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments.
For anyone still interested, the Obama and McCain pumpkins sold for $25 each. The only clear winner in the "pumpkin election" was the club that my sister sponsors.
My bad ... I thought that was Obama and Hitler.
ReplyDeleteClose. It's McCain and Marx. :)
