After Halloween, we tossed our jackos into a far corner in the back yard. A month ago, I looked back there and saw that tall guy on the right smiling up from all that orange/brown ruin. He was dried out and looking pretty awesome. We brought him in, cleaned him up, and now he's an all-season decoration in the living room.

Mine mold and fester and fall in on themselves before Thanksgiving. You are one lucky son of a...
That looks awesome!
I'm thinking it was some kind of gourd. It was really hard to carve.

We actually had the same thing this year, I had a really hard time carving this nightmarish warty pumpkin (resorted to using a drill, and the damn thing got stuck twice) and it dried out, sun bleached and warped in to this beautiful hollow shell...
It's pretty damn cool, sitting on my bookshelf, freaking the husband out every-time he walks past it.
So cool. I love warts all over him.
now, THAT is survival.
...maybe I'll carve some gourds this year.
I didn't know that was possible!! How awesome.
He...he will survive....as long as he's all dry and crisp he knows he'll stay inside, cause he's got all his life to live, and he's got all his light to give, he will survive...he will survive... hey, HEY! (string solo)

That's fantastic. It looks like it might have been a "knucklehead" pumpkin in its 2011 life. It's a very hard shelled pumpkin (crossed with a gourd, I suspect) from Siegers. We sell out of them every year!
I'll have to try some gourd carving this year if this is the potential result!
