Extreme pumpkin-carver Tom Nardone doesn't mince his words when he asks, "At what point did the carving of pumpkins turn into a 'cute' event? When did boys stop carving pumpkins and moms start? Where did we lose touch with one of the year's coolest events?"
Nardone is a man on a mission. Was pumpkin-carving ever meant for girls (unless they're way cool)? And when it comes to igniting the finished product, "Other sites will tell you to use glow sticks and flashlights. Hah! Here at Extreme Pumpkins we use fire, more fire, lighter fluid, road flares, and gasoline."
Nardone's Hunter S. Thompson gonzo-style attitude brings a refreshing new perspective to the art pumpkin-carving.
