''{It's [[The Show]]! There's a big pumpkin up on the marquee. Homestar stands in the middle of the set as a crowd cheers with semi-enthusiasm.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome back, gentlemadies! Without further Mountain Dew, let's get this style train a-rollin'!

''{A short tune plays in the background. Cut to a close-up on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First up, brand-new for 2009—

''{Cut to a slideshow with flashing lights around the edge and the words "Fadey Screen!" in the background. A image of a pumpkin with Coach Z's logo from [[redesign]] carved into it comes from the left of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —it's the 2006 Coach Z logo!

''{The crowd cheers again as music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's go to the ding board for that one.

''{Cut to a board with three flipping panels that together form an image of a large blue ribbon. Across the top panel is the word "Ding!". The middle panel rotates to reveal "3rd Style!" as it dings.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Third Style!

''{An "Ahh..." rises from the crowd. Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If our next pumpkin answers insurrectly, it'll win a trip to—

''{The next pumpkin is revealed; it's a shouting, wingaling Homestar Runner with angry eyebrows. The crowd begins to cheer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —Angry Homestar Between Two Mountains!

''{Crowd cheers. Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everyone, please give a warm hand to our next guest pumpkin—

''{The Fadey Screen shows a pumpkin of Thy Dungeonman holding up a bag of candy instead of ye flask. The words ">get ye candy" are carved across the top. The lights flicker out and the glowy inside of the pumpkin is visible.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thy ''{pronounced like "thigh"}'' Dungeonman.

''{"Aw yeah..." is heard from the crowd along with clapping. Cut to the Ding Board.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ding board says—

''{The middle panel flips to reveal "ACAPULCO".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Acapulco!

''{The crowd oohs. Cut back to the Fadey Screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' While this pumpkin—

''{A picture of a painted Strong Bad pumpkin with yellow smoke emanating from its mouth and eyes appears. Near it is a bottle labeled "Very Hot Ones"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —features fine European yellow smoke, I'm sorry—

''{Cut to Homestar. He looks mildly upset.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —no paint daubs.

''{The [[DELETED]] buzzer is heard as "NO PAINT DAUBS!" appears in red in front of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ladies look out for our next bachelor pumpkin—

''{Cut to the Fadey Screen, and the [[Stripèd Green Rabbit]] from [[New Boots]] is carved in a pumpkin. As Homestar continues, the ladies get excited.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —a stripèd green rabbit with two butts!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar, who looks embarassed}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Our next pumpkin may contain material that is unsuitable for childrens:

''{Cut to the slideshow showing a grotesque, poorly sculpted pumpkin with Homestar's face carved on it. It begins to speak.}''

'''CREEPY PUMPKIN HOMESTAR:''' ''{in a garbled, nasaly voice}'' HELLO HOMESTAR, THANKS FOR HAVING ME—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{hastily cutting in in front of the pumpkin}'' I'm sorry, we're out of time. ''{suddenly chipper}'' Ding board?

''{The ding board dings and displays "DONG!".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Donnnng!

''{Cut to Homestar, who looks annoyed}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{irritated}'' Next time—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with [[Peacey P]] and his logo painted on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —please phrase your pumpkin in the form of—

''{Cut back to Homestar. He leans in angrily toward the camera.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —NO PAINT DAUBS!

''{"NO PAINT DAUBS!" reappears in front of Homestar, with the [[DELETED]] buzzer and a "lose" musical cue. Cut to a wide shot of the studio.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And finally, everyone in today's audience—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with the [[Homestarmy]] "DO YOU HAS?" slogan and Col-o-nel Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —gets to have to give me five bucks!

''{"FIVE BUCKS!" appears as Homestar says it. The crowd gives a very dissastified cheer; cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Until next time, as always—

''{The words "Chant Words Together!" appear as they're chanted.}''

'''HOMESTAR AND CROWD:''' CHANT! WORDS! TOGETHER!

''{Cut back to the slideshow, which displays a pumpkin shaped like [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. The following words are on the screen as Homestar speaks.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Homestar Runner's wardrobe furnished by Bubs' Concession Stand—

''{Cut to a pumpkin shaped like Bubs inside a pumpkin shaped like Bubs' Concession Stand. The subtitle updates to include the word "scary".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and Scary Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Cut to a [[Homestar Jr.]] (going for 99¢) pumpkin. The subtitle is "Brought to you by the Homestar Jr."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Today's program was brought to you by the Homestar Jr.—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with an artist's painting palette behind a "NO" circle with a line through it, labeled "Council Against Paint Daubs".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and the Council Against Paint Daubs.

''{Fade out. Fade back in to show "Today's Big Winners!": Natalie Cunningham (Thy Dungeonman), Jonathan Berner (wingaling Homestar), Andrew Colbert (Homestarmy), Benjamin Visness (Coach Z new logo), and Prentice Osborne (Stripèd Green Rabbit with two butts).}''

The result is a mixed bag of mixed metaphors, carved punkins, and FABULOUS PRIZES!! This episode of The Show features real fan-carved punkins from real carved-fans. Did yours make the cut? Or did you just paint some stuff on a pumpkin and take a tiny .25 megapixel photo of it with your phone? This is the last of the Halloween related updates! I promise!</blockquote>
