The (Not So) Great Pumpkin
Every year here at work, there is a themed contest to see which department can make the best pumpkin display. Each department is required to dress up or carve up a pumpkin and place it for all to see in the company cafeteria and everyone gets to vote on their favorite. Now, the department I belong to has kind of a tradition of underachieving. We pretty much put the least amount of effort into our entries, and it shows. One year the theme was "Pumpkin Through the Decades" so we had a carrot on display and called it "Carrot Carpenter." This year's theme was "Pumpkin In Action." As you can see below, the competition was fierce. One department made a CSI-type pumpkin murder scene, complete with video. Another department had a Pimp-My-Pumpkin type display. HR had a Energizer Bunny pumpkin and others had a Nascar track complete with working slot-racer Pumpkins.
So here's my team's Pumpkin Inaction (we must've misread the announcement) below, complete with opened Cheetos bag, Weekly World News, Dr. Pepper, Remote Control and Newports, sitting on a sofa. You can tell we put just as much work into this as the other departments so how we didn't win, I can't tell you. At least this year it was kept on display and not mistaken for trash and thrown away before the voting began (yes, this has happened in year's past).

Wow, it seems somehow familiar and homey to me...
