HE'S GOURD-GEOUS!

C bought this as a gift for me at the fair. I appreciate the sentiment, but it's hideous! She pulled it out of a barrel of "reject gourds" because she said it reminded her of me! (I suppose some of the warts do look like the big dipper.) I kept it on a shelf in the lab (out of politeness) and tried to forget about it, but I could swear the gourd has been making moaning sounds while I work.

Its expression chances on a daily basis, and it seems to be growing something resembling an arm out of its back. Politeness or no, I'm throwing this thing out!
