I'm sorry, Steve.

I need suggestions:  best way to get the seeds out;
best way to cut pumpkin up;

Aren't those kind of the same? If you don't need it intact, I would think an ax would take care of getting it open, then scoop the seeds out and set them to dry somewhere the birds (or any other critters) can't get at them. If you want more control than an ax, a butcher knife works a treat in the kitchen on my winter squash. Use a big one, you've got thick walls to get through. Carve your lid or bottom off, or whatever access you want put in there.

name of patron saint or hindu deity of giant
pumpkins

Let me know if you ever get an answer to that one. ;-)

Good luck with your remaining pumpkin!
