Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

You should not be allowed out of grade school without being able to field strip a pen.

[–]CunthSlayer 9 points10 points ago

And put it back together in under 30 seconds.

[–]Waz433268 2 points3 points ago

30 seconds? PSHH I'm about 10 seconds. Wait. :(

Not only are people upvoting a picture of a disassembled pen, it's a reposted picture of a disassembled pen?

[–]OriginalityPolice 2 points3 points ago

Considering it's from Sabird1, no surprise there. Yet another chronic reposter.

[–]IrishWeegee 3 points4 points ago

You're a goddamned patriot, son. Keep fighting the good fight.

[–]lowdownlow 0 points1 point ago

I tagged this guy as a reposter today and first thing I did was to go look for the originals. Glad to see somebody else already did it.

[–]FecalFriendlyFire 2 points3 points ago

I still chew on the ink tubes sometimes. Blue splatter all the way!

[–]tsilb 2 points3 points ago

It's funny because the tube in the center is really the whole pen and everything else is just unnecessary packaging.

[–]BewilderedAlbatross 0 points1 point ago

Couldn't you say the same thing about almost everything?

[–]AINullPointer 1 point2 points ago

I still feel like Rambo when I take them apart and reassemble them without looking...

[–]Kerbero 1 point2 points ago

Like springs and tubes? Buy a gun, even more fun to take apart and put back together.

[–]rheldar 0 points1 point ago

I like to add cleaning in between taking it apart and putting it back together.

[–]PengWIN4 0 points1 point ago

My favorite waste of time. Well, besides Reddit, of course.

[–]jiggymaster24 0 points1 point ago

NOW DO IT AGAIN PRIVATE!

[–]Racortle 0 points1 point ago

I do this almost constantly when bored in class. Also some have powerful springs that make the ink cartridge a great projectile. However I don't recommend doing this as the recovery rate is about 1%.

[–]Noturordinaryguy 1 point2 points ago

Cause it feels like you're doing this

[–]Blackdeath53 1 point2 points ago

GGGGumppppppp why did you disassemble that pen so quickly?

[–]Badgermeister 0 points1 point ago

Because you told me to, Drill Sergeant?

[–]Loztwallet 0 points1 point ago

Damnit Gump! What did you take that gun apart so fast??

[–]GrandmaTITMilk 0 points1 point ago

The best is when you shoot the ink cartridge with the spring. So fun.

[–]Jesus_In_Drag 1 point2 points ago

It's all fun and games until that spring rolls off the table and is never seen again. :/

[–]BewilderedAlbatross 0 points1 point ago

That motherfucker is harder to find that Waldo and Carmen Sandiego combined...

You didn't finish... twitch

[–]AliasUndercover 0 points1 point ago

I miss the old ones you could turn into a gun.

[–]omegaaf 0 points1 point ago

I remember in school I put two clicky pens together and i was able to lodge the screw cap into the ceiling.

[–]worstfuckingattorney 0 points1 point ago

Same here, I enjoy using one of the Pilot G2 series pens because they are far superior than most pens and just have class. And if feels official when you disassemble and assemble them. Imgur

[–]StreetKidNamedDesire 0 points1 point ago

I do this in class all the time. It is always fun until I drop the spring...

[–]amontes92 0 points1 point ago

even as an adult i still love eating food and laughing with friends. 'tis just something you do, man.

[–]firmlyplanted 0 points1 point ago

The day we stop doing, is the day we loose a bit of who we are.

[–]Gort_84 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes when I'm bored I disassemble one of my pens and trey to put it together as fast as I can replicating this scene, my coworkers must think I'm batshit crazy.

[–]MrWaffles210 0 points1 point ago

For some reason I read the title as "Even as an adult, I still love doing drugs." I'm not sure whats wrong with my brain...

[–]gonwi42 0 points1 point ago

you didn't take the clicky part apart! that is the best part!

[–]nspectre 0 points1 point ago

Field stripping a pen is cool, but can you turn one into a cannon? Take a regular ol' Bic pen, toss the caps, remove the ink tube/ball point assembly.

Take the wide opening of the barrel and screw it/press it down onto an orange peel (or lemon/lime) until it cuts out a circular piece that is now stuck inside the barrel.

Use the back end of the ink tube to push the orange peel down the barrel to the tip.

Screw/punch out another piece of orange peel and push it down the barrel maybe 1/4".

Put the ink tube back into the pen barrel the way it originally was supposed to go, up to the first orange peel.

Take aim at a friend with the big end of the barrel and quickly/forcefully shove the ink tube into the barrel.

Giggle as POP!, the second orange peel bounces off your friends' forehead. =8-D

[–]Lasagna13 0 points1 point ago

I like to take apart the bic pens and blow through the outer tube like a kazoo while trying to write with the flimsy pen on the inside.

[–]RHodeidra 0 points1 point ago

This is my pen. There are many pens like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my pen is nothing. Without my pen, I am nothing.

Say these words again, again and again in your office whilst using your most insane-dedicated-look (mirror advised) Hardcore mode: do violent eye-twitches when someone used pencils near your.
