I always wandered how creative humans can be. It is always surprising how simple, everyday items can be turned into great stuff. Alex Wer aka "The Pumpkin Geek" carves pumpkins for instance. The reason why I'm writing about it is that they simply look astonishing and that they are Star Trek related. As I can see, he is a great Star Trek fan and had great time at Star Trek Las Vegas Con '09. If you check his website, you can see nice pictures of pumpkins over there! I was trully amazed.

Fan part is to see in his event section Zachary Quinto, Johnatan Frakes or Rene Auberjonois standing next to the pumpkin with their carving on them! Looks really nice and funny. I bet they laughed a lot later about it. To cut it short, if you click on web site tumbnail, you'll get to see gallery of Star Trek motives, and if you check "Event" section you'll get to see Star Trek actors standing next to - you get it right - pumpkins!

Imagine what would happen if Ferengi would get a grasp on one of these and put them into replicator software! Massive sales of Star Trek pumpkins instead of DVDs or Blu Rays... Too bad I didn't know for this before Halloween this year.. :-(

There is also part with Star Trek Women characters and they look realy nice. Actually, pumpkin carvings remind me on that old style photos (the brownish ones). I wander only what will come next....

I can only imagine how would it look like to see entire movie on pumpkins instead on DVDs... Imagine, hundreds of pumpkins with movie scenes in a gallery! That would be something awesome, but I cannot imagine how much work would be involved... I bet, it would take years to do it.

Imagine Star Trek characters at Halloween night? I mean real one. They don't have to buy Star Trek costumes. Uniforms are provided, phasers with tricorders ready. Attitude is right, and make up perfect! No masks needed. Perfect for blending with Earthlings.  To boldly trick-or-treat where no treat has happened before.

Unless you're beamed down from Enterprise, you'll need Star Trek uniform. A tricorder is to scan candy for harmful substances. Full scan of house can discover hostile creatures. Phaser is helpful in diplomatic activities with inhabitants. Communication badge will keep you in contact with secondary away team, along with orbiting spaceship. Logic implies you get highest ranking uniforms for your party. Thus enabling you to give orders to low ranking Star Trek uniforms. Especially if they are not Star Trek 2009.
Away team should consist of different profiles. With multiple Star Trek masks at hand, you can be Changeling, which is really cool. There should be at least one Vulcan, one Human, and mandatory: at least one Ferengi. They are great if you convince them candy contains latinum... Klingon Warbird is great cause you can hide it really well - cloaked.

Here is how different Star Trek characters behave at Halloween:

TREK OR TREKKING BY SPECIES

• Klingon pushes the others aside to get to the door first. (Worf)
• Talaxian will only eat the finest of Swiss chocolates. (Neelix)
• Changeling goes around the neighborhood once, changes costumes and goes around again. (Odo)
• Bajoran stays at home and gives candy to the other trick-or-treaters. (Kyra)
• Andorians plan their costume for months, then won't go out because someone else had the same idea. (
• Vulcan wears a neatly-pressed suit and tells everyone they're a bookkeeper.
• Betasoid is still standing in front of the closet trying to decide on a costume.
• Romulan isn't in it for the candy.
• Ocampa will manage to wander to the next town.
• Ferengi makes a list of all the houses that give good candy and the optimal route to take.
• Borg builds the costume out of spare flashlights and spends all night tinkering when it shorts.
• Ba'ku skips the whole thing to compose poetry to the Moon.

To help you further in exploring neighboring planets (uhm, houses) here is a brief:

Starfleet Survival Guide (use of costumes or uniforms masks only outfit)

• When it appears that you have killed the Borg, "never" check to see if it's really dead.
• Do not take anything from the Borg.
• If you find a planet which looks deserted, it's probably for a reason. Take the hint and stay away.
• Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.
• If you're running from the Borg, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the Borg is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.
• If your ship runs out of dillithium, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking planet to call for help.
• If replicators and holodeck start operating by themselves, bail out.
• As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Q-continuum.
• Do not search the Jeffrey tubes, especially if the power has gone out.
• If children aboard speak to you in Romulan or any other language which they should not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than their own, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. NOTE: It will probably take several phaser adjustments to kill them, so be prepared.
• Never orbit in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a Borg, Romulan, Klingon, Cardassian, or other ship of the kind.
• If you're searching for something which caused a life form reading and find out that it's just the tribble, beam off the planet immediately if you value your life.
• If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, beam away from them as fast as possible.
• If you are appointed as third party member along with Kirk and Spock, or any other two main characters, there is 95% chance you will end up badly on mission. Proceed to sickbay straight away.

I hope these advices will help you on your mission. If not, well, remember, only Kirk and Chuck Noriss can survive Kobayashi Maru.... Even without Star Trek costume

Remeber, your very own Ferengi merchant has Star Trek costume, Star Trek uniform, or Star Trek Phaser, and even Star Trek ship available here. Star Trek Stuff is here just for you. (I know the logic since I'm freak for Star Trek)
