Frivolous Friday, 09.03.2010: Geek tombstones

Today's preview of Autumn pretty much coincides with Dennis harvesting the pumpkin that we allowed to grow (from morbid curiosity) from the boneyard of its Jack-o-Lantern forebears (otherwise known as the compost bin). Which, together, makes me think of Halloween. Hence the pre-emptive morbidity of tonight's post.

Of course, there's always (the obligatory) "System failure: Abort, Retry, Fail?" But that's so generic, so let's personalize our final testament to geekhood, shall we?
