New from Apple: The iPumpkin

Not the latest iPhone, but the Majic 100 creation for the annual "Children at Risk" celebrity pumpkin carving competition. This weekend you can see ours along with many others at various malls in Ottawa. If you want the iPumpkin, go to Merivale Mall before this Sunday and place your bid.

Pimping our pumpkin...

This is Stuntman and the Shark's entry for the 15th annual "Children at Risk" celebrity pumpkin carving competition benefiting local kids with Autism. Our masterpiece is on display until Sunday at Merivale Mall and you can vote for your favorite with a donation. You'll be the envy of all your neighbors if this is at your house or workplace. It will go to the highest bidder, all you have to do is drop by and donate. What? You've been looking at it for 5 minutes and still don't know what it is? It's called a "See-dee" pumpkin! CD's, pumpkin seeds...you with me? Or you can call it realizing at 10pm the night before that you have to carve a pumpkin and have had 2 glasses of wine. Call it what you want, but vote! That's morning show producer Hammer with a look of disgust after I predicted ours would win.

Pumpkin meets Facebook for charity...

UPDATE - We came in 6th!!!!! Thank you.


The 14th annual celebrity pumpkin carving contest for Children at Risk goes this weekend.

Local media, sports stars and politicians will have their pumpkins displayed at area malls and you're encouraged to donate for your favorite. Since I've been accused of spending more time with Facebook then with my family, the idea was born. You'll find the Stuntman and the Shark entry at Merivale Mall today through Sunday and we're offering...(ok, bribing you) with a pair of Sens tix.

Children at Risk helps kids with Autism, and your help with this fun event is appreciated.


Yes, that's Mike Fisher on the bottom. He's with Carrie Underwood, but we let Sandy think he's into her too!

I'll quit the show...

Ok, a dramatic statement but for a good cause.

Here's the deal, Children at Risk which raises money locally for kids with Autism is hosting their annual celebrity pumpkin carving competition this weekend at area malls. I admit my submission is lame (my original idea while funny at the time was dumb so I carved this at 4am) includes a pair of Sens tickets and dinner for 2 at Fratteli for the highest bidder. If my pumpkin comes in first place, I'll quit TGOR...for one day.

Children at Risk benefits with lots of $$$ and my critics get a "Stu free day". You can bid on this masterpiece until Saturday at Merivale Mall.

UPDATE:
To my shock, my pumpkin actually came in first and over 10k was raised for the charity. Thanks to Hal Howlett from Merlin Door Systems for stepping up and keeping me off the show....
