Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

hivemind - any tricks to keep a jack-o-lantern from rotting?
Here's a dude who says WD-40 will give you three days: [link] But in general, I think that's why they live outside.
Bleach? [link]
I've heard varnish, but I've never tried it.
That Last Supper almost scares me. I shouldn't be able to see that much.

Wow, that was really cool. And reminiscent of a science fair project I once did about mold on bread.
this is what I found
Preserving and Firming Up a PumpkinPut the pumpkin in a wash tub of cold water.
If the pumpkin is carved, put the carved part face down. Let the pumpkin float, and let the insides fill with water. The pumpkin will absorb the water and become very firm.
If you have fine detail work to do, you may want to let your pumpkin soak over night. This will firm up the pumpkin flesh and allow you to do intricate carving.
For long term storage, put a thin amount of petroleum jelly on the exposed, sawed edges. This prevents water from getting out. If water gets out, your pumpkin will shrivel. Anytime your pumpkin shrivels, soak it in a bath of cold water for one to eight hours, longer is better. Over night doesn't hurt.
Putting a little unscented Clorox bleach in the water will prevent your pumpkin from prematurely molding by killing off evil pumpkin germs.
Use a plant mister to spray your pumpkin and keep it moist. If you put it in plastic wrap to hold the water in and place it in the refrigerator, not the freezer, you can keep the pumpkin looking good for a long, long time.
Once you remove a wet pumpkin for display, you should immediately dry it off. This prevents mold from hanving a chance to grow.

Oh yeah, and I was wondering where they got a picture that good. Also it was fun because it was like the fake thing they do on TV now with zooming in on pictures that there's no way they could zoom in on and have them resolve any better.
And this is so random, but have I mentioned here that my friend's coworker is apparently dating the Verizon ad guy? He picked him up in a bar having no idea who he was.
Timelies all!
Got back from OVFF today. Am tired. Had fun.
