We always called the expendable guy in the red shirt, "Mr. Green"

Kirk: "Spock, you, Doctor McCoy, that guy in the Red Shirt, and I will meet in the transporter room to beam down to the planet surface."

Red Shirt Guy: "Oh, cr*p."

I had plans to go watch a movie to avoid the Halloween mess and any trick or treaters who might deign to ignore the "all lights off, all paths obstructed and no decorations" hints we ignore halloween.

ONly one theater within driving distance and nothing of substance to watch there, out of over a dozen movies playing.

How is it Hollywood isn't bankrupt yet?

Haha, you've worn me down. This video does have its own humble charm and the chorus has needled me for a few hours now. I have to find another song to chase it away. A fine Halloween tradition, though.

You didn't know about the endless train of Expendable Red-Shirts?? Nerd license revoked, Rod.

Go back to nerd school!

My oldest went as a mangled red shirt guy too this year. The other wore no costume, but said he was a psycho killer and everyone knows they look like everyone else. The girls were Disney princesses, yuck!

Bradamante, did she ask whether the goodies were made with real Girl Scouts?

Ensign Ricky has Bill Moyers on his side - he called for the draft on Friday's show:

Prithy -- what think thou thee Rod about your boys being called-up, minion style, in eight years (we've been at it in Afghanistan eight, heck it could take at least 20 more, thinks Buckley's National Review chum Brookhiser earlier in the show, since the "enemy" moved the theatre next door to Waziristan aka Pakistan's 'tribal' area)

I'm no state-minion fan, but does anyone really think the next generation of Ensign Rick's are that stupid to willing man our all-volunteer armed forces?

Watch who you call stupid, you've got card carrying former and current state-minions in this audience. We prefer the title "Veterans" normally.

Anyways, they are having no trouble recruiting in this current economy. It's a living. Comes with free government-run health care, too. ;) Unemployment bennies only last so long...
