as he explained to another person, 3 hours with a template and a pin, removing that to see a mass of pock marks that mean very little, then using wood carving tools to sort that mess into something. yellow is where it's cut through, orange is different depths in the flesh
oh, that sounded bitchy... he didn't explain to another person here, so it's not being repeated... he explained it to another person elsewhere, that's the first time here.
arch i get it from our stats program that we use (although i want to get another one working to compare it), google analytics you can check out what search terms and such people use to get to your site, oddly enough lots of people actually type in muchosucko or mucho sucko into their search engine to get to here ;/ so i'm assuming lots of people are so computer illiterate they don't know what their url bar does ;)
search engine terms really add up from google and yahoo tho, i mean yesterday we had 21k people come in from those sites (well and other search engines.. but less from those).. i mean someone found our site by searching for zombie midget porn.. i don't know what search engine tho but 1 person came here yesterday via that search :P
yeah i just have it set up as a button on my top bar just under my url so i just click 'muchosucko' and it takes me here in safari at least... not sure if other browers do that kind of quick bar? i'd assume so :)
Isn't that the bird guy from the old Buck Rogers tv show? You know, the one with Erin Grey wearing the hooker spandex all time? Giggeddy, giggedy goooo!
16 hours. Shit man. That's a whole fuckin lot. You have to cut just perfectly and groove it just perfectly. One slip or punch too far and you are through the skin. Nice detail, and fuckin great pumpkin!
when my kids were little i used to carve pumpins (not very well) But I would leave a hole in the back of the pumpin's head, light the candle inside and spray wd40 through the hole so it looked like the pumpin was breathing fire.
Initially, I was impressed but unconvinced (ie. a projection).
Then I saw this:

Now i'm pretty much convinced, but not so impressed...damn.
yeah those are pretty well done... the secret to carving a pumpkin like this is to have a few fixed depths of carving decided before hand
and stick to them, like have one thats just the skin, have one that is just the skin removed, have another depth thats a few mm in further and have one thats cut all the way through... then you can graduate the depths to the next depth to give it a smooth 'shade' etc.... then make sure you scoop your pumpkin out and keep testing it with a light in it until the light shows through really nicely in all the areas.. its honestly not as hard as it looks... it just takes a fucking long time :)
WoW! OK, you've 100% convinced me that it's genuine Yak. No need to play down your efforts too - even with a lot of time, i'm sure most of us still couldn't do that.
just depends if the person is patient enough to sit staring at a fucking pumpkin for a day straight is all :)
my vision is still blurry :P
next halloween i want to do an idea that i had before of a chinese cloud dragon wrapping around the entire pumpkin with its scales and shit... probably take me 2 fucking days to carve tho :)
Comments to jack o'lantern
Yak, How did you find the time between playing WoW and "spending time" with Deja?
He used the same tools as he does when he "spends time" with her
Highly disturbing.
You mean the jigsaw? I heard they were weird.
Whattt? Why would the two people who admin a site like Mucho be weird? That's just crazy talk.
spend time with him? wtf are you talking about? who wants to spend time with him? :P
hahaha
i bet yak got pwned on wow while he wasn't paying attention
el diablo!!
Nice, detail Yak, How long did it take you?
16 hours (including the hourish break for going and getting bk and eating) :(
my whole upper body is so sore from just sitting there doing this for that long... but i think it turned out good :)
i dont believe it. i wanna see MS and the date.
Pretty fucking cool, dude.
How did you do it?
i guess he just cut at different depths.. the deeper, the yellower it gets.
very nice work, yak, creative.
as he explained to another person, 3 hours with a template and a pin, removing that to see a mass of pock marks that mean very little, then using wood carving tools to sort that mess into something. yellow is where it's cut through, orange is different depths in the flesh
oh, that sounded bitchy... he didn't explain to another person here, so it's not being repeated... he explained it to another person elsewhere, that's the first time here.
yeah, triple post... i was saying how he explained it to someone else, that's what i was meaning
so why are you so bitchy?
Not enough jack in her lantern.
lol
lol
lol
deja's going to kick some ass.
lol
did he carve it or did he just place it in front of his monitor all night with mucho on the screen and found this in the morning?
Mucho shoots mad lasers out the screen.
if you play mucho backwards there's a hidden message about kittens and pokemon...
I know, I know, the kitten fucks the pokemon everytime.
speaking of which... why do so many people search for the term 'pokemon sex' on google ;/
Where did you get this info?
weirrdd
The most googled term in America right now is "Iraq."
The second most googled term in America right now is "burrito." Now, who can take that search seriously? "I googled my burrito."

hey yak sometimes i use google as my url bar ..basically takes less typing
also i saw diaper eating as a recent search on here
diaper eating.....
I just keep the sites I go to in my favorites list on the left side of my screen.
yeah i just have it set up as a button on my top bar just under my url so i just click 'muchosucko' and it takes me here in safari at least... not sure if other browers do that kind of quick bar? i'd assume so :)
mucho is bookmarked on my FF.
mucho is my homepage on firefox..hahaha.seriously...sigh
that must be good when guests want to check their mail on your pc.
Fuck Firefox, Bill Gates needs more money asshole.
My FF bar is full of useless shit, I only use the mucho button anywho.
FF FTW MS CTRL+D
Uh oh, we seem to have inadvertently crossed into The Geek Zone.
I just have MS on my favorites list, two clicks and it's there.
it's on my bookbark-bar, 2nd place. after hotmail.
i dont think i ever use my bookmarks, i normally just type in where i want to go. maybe i should attempt to be a little more lazy.
Isn't that the bird guy from the old Buck Rogers tv show? You know, the one with Erin Grey wearing the hooker spandex all time? Giggeddy, giggedy goooo!
Yak...very impressive. Definitly sick
Reminds me of those cult member things on RE4
nice...
Millions of little bastards everywhere would love to smash that puppy. That's wicked.
some assholes smashed all of our pumpkins...my dad chased them down though, so that makes it worth it
I couldn't find the side window, and your dog startled me. It was an accident.
yeah my three dogs, two dauchsaunds and a rotty
Dachshunds suck.
lol "dauchsaunds" :D
my pug would own your rottweiler, starr.
my dog would kick the fuck out of all your sissy dogs
My dog is very friendly and cute. I love him. Beagle.
My brother has a tough dog, though. It's a Chow. Reportedly a badass, and likes to roll around in deer carcass.
mine like to roll around in dogshit.
he sounds cool vic...and stinky
if breaths could kill..
Your brother lives in the states right? Cause I'm not seeing too many Jap deers.
There are deer in Japan, but yes, he lives in the states.
^There are LOADS of deer in Nara - cheeky fucks will eat anything!
I thought you only did horses.
I'm not fussy...
Plus, deer are more cute.
Cuter.
^I think either are OK - wasn't sure if 'cuter' was an Americanism tho...
Cuter.
I thought you were more smart than me. Designing those new-fangled microchip thingys and all.
give him a break, hank ;)
Where are you going to end up putting the pumpkin? People like to be assholes and smash them especially if they see that you spent work on it.
we live on the 9th floor of a building. think it's pretty safe up here
What's the address?
yeah, what's the address? *sharpens knife*
16 hours. Shit man. That's a whole fuckin lot. You have to cut just perfectly and groove it just perfectly. One slip or punch too far and you are through the skin. Nice detail, and fuckin great pumpkin!
yeah the face is where it gets really rough... especially the nose and cheeks in this one
when my kids were little i used to carve pumpins (not very well) But I would leave a hole in the back of the pumpin's head, light the candle inside and spray wd40 through the hole so it looked like the pumpin was breathing fire.
wd40? what's that
something flammable, i guess.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wd40
very flammable
its a popular spray lube from Canadistan .
wow, I spelled pumpkin wrong three times...epic fail
vic you didn't know what wd40 was? weird i thought that was like a universal thing ;)
i think i recognize the can, but i don't think i've ever used it.
it's not for people vic, sorry
wait.. you're not supposed to spray it under your eyeballs!?!
aaaAAAAHHHHH!! it BURNS!!
We got it down here too.
where? timbuktu?
Close enough.
Tierra del Fuego?
Wheeling, WVa?
So wheres the next photo showing Yak anally insert this pumpkins stalk ?
The Oracle gives you props yak
Hmm, seems TheOracle has given yak props
means nothing unless it's the oracle from hilarious house of frightenstein :P proof required
means nothing unless it's the oracle from the matrix.
Since when does Larry Ellison come here?
Two thumbs up.
thats about the coolest yak o'lantern ive ever seen
that shoulda been the title of this picture i think :P
where's the creativity, yak!
i didn't submit the picture or post it so ask deja :P
eh.. maybe i should check who submitted it next time..
wow, this put my pumpkin with two holes and three teeth to shame.
yep, yak you are one dedicated individual
My pumpkin only has one hole in it.
i didn't know you swung that way, irish?
vic, get you mind out of the gutter, he just may be a bad carver.
my hint was actually even more complicated, as in women have two(not counting the mouth) holes, men only one.
but i like your explanation too.
That's very cool. -I went with a triangle theme myself, but yours is good too!
I like, high five!
that is probably coolest pumpkin ive seen.
How much?!
Borat rocks!
Initially, I was impressed but unconvinced (ie. a projection).
Then I saw this:

Now i'm pretty much convinced, but not so impressed...damn.
the one with the elephant looks awesome, but the rest weren't as cool as yak's.

that sounds like a cool idea.
@Yak: Days are over-rated - do it! :)
It does look like it has an MS carved in it. Happy Halloween
