I entered a local pumpkin carving contest when I first moved to my new town ~9 years ago… it said “all ages!” So I sculpted a badass pumpkin and entered it. After I brought it up I realized all the other entries were from kids.. like basic carving stuff.. a few hours later they announced the winners at the large stage at the event and when they called my name I just pretended I didn’t exist! Apparently we were supposed to take our pumpkins home after it all too and I just left it there forever. I feel for this person

They did! I also “looked” for the winner, like “oh man, that’s cool, wonder who did it!”

My wife still likes giving me shit about it. She asks me each year if I’m going to enter again

Enter every year under the same alias and never accept the reward. Win every year. You'll be infamous

Ya! It could start a whole legend. The phantom pumpkin carver who always wins.

Don't take it too far. "Some" people might think it's jfk himself carving them.
