Pumpkin Update

An actual follow-up to a previous post! Jim (from the Mail team) took photos of the original pumpkin carving event (below left), and June took some more dramatic photos of the Dunning O'Lantern (below center)*.

However, I made the unfortunate decision to leave the pumpkin in the office over the weekend. Presumably, the huge, nascent growths of mold eventually caused the jack o'lantern to topple onto the floor, where it quickly decomposed into a revolting puddle of brakish, "fermented pumpkin juice", outside the aforementioned interaction designer's cubicle (see above right). It's probably a metaphor for something, but too many early morning infomercials and repeats of MSNBC's Hardball have stunted my brain.

* If you backtrack in June's Flickr photostream, you might see bits and pieces of a rather surreal somersault contest from a previous UED offsite. Indeed, it's a strange group.
