Yeah, I made an Ablative Iron Man pumpkin

Don’t act like you didn’t know this was going to happen. By chipping away at various parts of it and leaving elongated irregular hexagonal rhombuses behind, I carved the world’s first Model 23 Ablative Iron Man pumpkin.

Ablative Iron Man pumpkin provides asymmetric elongated oval seeds.

Now, I know it’s nothing special. If you clicked on this thinking it was going to be a perfect representation of Axol’s helmet, well, you’ll have to wait a few years until the Ablative Suit gets a lot more popular (and also somebody else is going to have to do it because I’m not that good). Also, such an image might just be a bit too scary for the average person.

I had no idea what to carve this year. So I fell back on something that’s been on my mind lately, and that’s this website that’s a happy oasis in “these uncertain times.” So I just decided to make something out of six of Axol’s tiles. I’ll get to enjoy it on the porch, and others can admire it from at least six feet away.

Also, just like the Ablative Armor, it will degrade in two days’ time.

Happy Halloween!


UPDATE: Well, I wasn’t wrong. The Ablation Suit is meant to degrade, and there’s no stopping a pumpkin from doing the same. About three days later we were down to this:

“In my day, armors were made of wood and spit and we liked it!

Then just a couple of days later the inevitable happened:

“Nothing moves the Blob!” You’re welcome, X-Men Arcade fans.

The Model 23 Pumpkin has officially been moved to Stark Industries’ compost bin.
