Man, they're all equally great, so I have to vote for the one with the best name "Lived free, but dead".

Having carved a few "custom pumpkins" in my day I can really appreciate these but the most difficult one by far had to be the wicked one. Many of the others just scraped through the skin until the light shined through. Don't get me wrong they are AWESOME but I know how hard/frusterating it is to remove the bits of pumpkin and still hold it all together. Great job guys all of you

Thanks to everyone who voted! Looks like there was some stiff competition with andrsn... Way cool skeleton on a bike theme and a good name for it too. Two votes away from whooping my butt. There's one problem I have with this contest: Needs more folks carving away and more entrees of pumpkins!

Too close. Lived free but dead should demand a recount. There's video of the Panthers turning away voters. And some people couldn't figure the ballot out and accidentally voted for the wrong one.
