Tenticular Gesticulation

Invaders from Mars

Ok, let me explain how I arrived at this one: The other day I was out doing yard work, and got either stung or bitten or poked in the back of the neck by some bug or thorn or something. I don't know what it was, but all of a sudden I had a huge angry welt on the back of my neck and it felt like I had an alien implant embedded there. Have you ever seen the original Invaders from Mars, where the Martians implant mind-control crystals in the back of the necks of their human slaves? Well, that's what I thought of. Which made me remember the Martian leader, basically a green-headed thing with tentacles floating in a glass sphere. 

Which is how me doing the landscaping led to today's post.
