Default How do you peel an acorn squash?

I just looked up how to peel a butternut squash and realized immediately
that this wasn't what I got in my CSA package. It was actually an acorn
squash which from what I have read online can be cooked the same as an
acorn. And that's a good thing as I am using Ina Garten's recipe for
butternut. But it calls for the squash to be peeled and cut in cubes.

I was able to peel the smooth part quite easily, but the part that has goes
in and out with crevices and bumps was a bit of a nightmare. I did look
this up online and there were a variety of answers, some of which were just
not to peel it or just not to buy it to begin with. So... How do you peel
yours?
