That’s one bigass pumpkin, napping, and patiently waiting for sundown to attack the unsuspecting.

Looks like they’re dancing to Woolly Bully. Guess which one’s the white guy.
I was going to post a vid of a skanky German band (Die Skaletons) but I like the little boney guy better, rockin’ out on The Overnight Open Thread.

Mayor Griffith sure knows how to scare the Kenova Fire Department. [Image from here, story from WCHS.]
Kenova , Wayne County , West Virginia
Owner and Kenova mayor Ric Griffith says, “I’ve met thousands and thousands of people who get involved with this every year, and feel part of it, and that’s the most heartwarming thing.”
Every person has a job. Griffith says, “People can rinse them, they can carry them, they can help scoop them. They don’t have to be artists, we do the drawings, but we just have them carve them with the jigsaws. This is getting the community involved, and helping us present this, and it’s always fun to have the kids and the adults help us.”
Every pumpkin has a place. Whether on the wall, in the sports section, the cat choir, or looking out from above, when the sun goes down, the pumpkins all work together to create an awe-inspiring glow.

Three thousand total -each uniquely carved by hundreds of volunteers who work almost around the clock until the last pumpkin takes the stage, and the people can sit back… and enjoy the show.
Of course it’s always Trick or Treat Night here (but mostly the latter) so pull up a seat and we’ll carve up The Overnight Open Thread.
Golobal Warming is MIA for Halloween weekend!

An early blizzard has struck New England. This should not be news except that it happened before Halloween! That’s right, it’s not even November and already people have lost power and more than a foot has landed in some parts of New England This makes me ponder a very important question. Where’s Global Warming?
SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. (AP) — Millions of people from Maine to Maryland were without power as an unseasonably early nor’easter dumped heavy, wet snow over the weekend on a region more used to gaping at leaves in October than shoveling snow.
The snow was due to stop falling in New England late Sunday, but Halloween will likely come and go before many of the more than 3 million without electricity see it restored, officials warned. Several referred to the combination of the storm’s early arrival and its ferocity as historic, yet another unwelcome superlative for weather-weary Northeasterners.
“You had this storm, you had Hurricane Irene, you had the flooding last spring and you had the nasty storms last winter,” Tom Jacobsen said Sunday while getting coffee at a convenience store in Hamilton Township, N.J.
“I’m starting to think we really ticked off Mother Nature somehow because we’ve been getting spanked by her for about a year now.”

Al Gore and Charles Johnson are not available for comment. The AGW apologists will claim that Global Warming means colder and snowier weather. Reality doesn’t matter to people like Gore or Charles Johnson.
