Dark Was The (K)night

Pardon me while I go back to last week.

In my post last Friday, I mentioned that I tend to alternate between being totally into Halloween one year, and just shrugging it off the next. When I wrote that, 2009 was firmly seeded as a “Bah, Humbug!” year.

My workplace, however, had other ideas.

Seems as though the company wanted to promote some seasonal fun, and gave each department a pumpkin to carve. There was some sort of nominal prize to be won, but the point was for staffers to have an excuse to act like kids for an afternoon.

My department thought it’d be a bright idea to get me to carve our entry. Interesting decision. Give a vegetable and a sharp object to a movie and comic book geek, chances are you’ll get something like this…

  1. idea: get a search light and put in the pumpkin (a small one I suppose – lamp could work). Next time your boss comes to rail on you turn off all the lights and point the pumpkin to the sky and yell "help me batman!"

    Would you get fired? Maybe. Would it be the perfect way to go out? Hell yeah 🙂

  2. @ Univarn… My first week in the dept, boss man held up my Superman lunchbox for the whole room to see and mock. He'd likely see your idea as par for the course.

    @ Alex… Nope. We got beat by the department that decided to carve the Jack Skelington pumpkin. (boo!)

    @ Carolina… Thanks hun – I like your Parisian memories!
