We don’t post many captioned images here, but this one made us smile. Even if they changed their tunics, they were doomed by the scriptwriters. The redshirts in StarTrek were always disposable (except for Scotty) and never knew what was coming down.

According to the source of that image, this happy guy was discovered after someone cut down a cherry tree, and one of the commenters believed it to be the larva of some type of long-horned beetle. Beetles come in all shapes and sizes, and the Xixuthrus Heros is one of the largest.

Saturday Matinee – Halloween Pumpkin Carving, Frank Zappa & Oingo Boingo
Nice pumpkin carving tips. I use an orange Sharpie to mark the design, and carve with a serrated fish boning knife. Pre-designed push-pin patterns are for pussies, and using a Dremel is cheating big time. BTW, this is NOT how to do it.
That’s from Frank Zappa’s MTV Halloween Show 1981 at the Palladium NY. “Doreen” is classic, with doo-wop lyrics and chord patterns done in 4/4 time. “Goblin Girl” is typical FZ snark and innuendo.
The best Halloween Band (IMO) is Oingo Boingo, and they got their start as “The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo on The Gong Show. Pure awesome.
Have a great weekend, folks. We’ll be back here tomorrow for more stupid.
