Ahoy ...!
Every year my workplace has a pumpkin carving contest between the departments. The company gives us all pumpkins and -- perhaps unwisely, given some of the people who work here -- lets us go nuts with them. This year, I volunteered to carve the department pumpkin, because a) nobody else wanted to, and b) I had an idea.
My husband thinks I need to stick word balloons on the little gourds in the boats ("Ahoy!" etc) because it's not obviously a whale without some verbal cues. I think that'd be overkill. You be the judge!
You can't see it very well in the picture, but there's a harpoon (nail) stuck in its head, tacked to the left-hand gourd with fishing line.
The original plan included red vines candy for spurting blood, but it didn't look very convincing.
