Geez. My Homestar pumpakin looks nothing like it's suppos' to. -- FireBird

How da heck are you supposed to use this thing? 209.221.24.157 21:46, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

Measure your pumpkin and decide how big you can/want to make the carving. Make sure you leave an inch or two on the edge so your pumpkin (in my case, a Cheat O' Lantern!) is stable. Then size the stencil to your measurements and trace the stencil - I used a thick-bladed knife to cut out the stencil while pressed against the pumpkin (thick blade so you can see the cuts). Do the normal pumpkin carving stuff, cut the topp off and clean 'er out. Then cut all the way through your stencil tracings and you've got an H*R Pumpakin! --Southpaw018 21:58, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

I was asking about the applet; I've got it figgered out now, though. I think it doesn't work in Mozilla, because when I do that, it automatically jumps to a blank sheet diagram, and none of the buttons work. It works in IE. 209.221.24.143 14:34, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

I got it fine with Firefox. Of course, my pukpkin doesn't look that fine. -- FireBird

Can somebody please tell me hw to get here from the actual website (homestarrunner.com)? --Darklinkskywalker 18:36, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's not on there anymore. It used to be linked from the main page on "What's new?" Last Halloween.--DumDe 11:03, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Ohhhhhhhh.. so it's a secret page. In that case, Im'a go add it to thhe secret pages list now. --Darklinkskywalker 21:19, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Sigh if only i had pumpkins to carve if only i coulc celebrate halloween--Ed500 12:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Lights off!

Is it just me or does pressing Ctrl-L seem to turn out the lights so that you can see the jack o'lanterns lit up in all their glory?

Yep, true that. I just added it to the Easter eggs section. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 16:15, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

i don't understand...it says (in the easter eggs section) pressing L turns the lights out. i tried it and it doesn't do anything. above it says Ctrl-L...i tried that too and it didn't work. what's up? am i doing something wrong? --StrongBad110990 21:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Make sure you are clicked on the flash part of the page, not the outside. Then try L. --— DBK!

Punkin Stencils?

It appears that TBC, following the likes of Decemberween and Labor Dabor, have named the pumpkin stencils punkin stencils. Anybody think this page could use a move, or at least a redirect, and perhaps a meantion on the article opening. Any suggestions? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:56, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

That's not a bad idea. All of the references in the Flash coding say "punkin" instead of "pumpkin". — It's dot com 02:25, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

It seems like there's not TOO too many links to the page, so I'm gonna go ahead and move it to Punkin Stencils, and leave this as a redirect. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:08, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

'04 link

Does anybody know of a mirror of the '04 version we could link to under external links? Might be a nice addition. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Original Release Date?

I didn't see it in our list of updates. Does anybody know when the first version was released? '03? '02? '01? Ever? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 16:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
