Having enjoyed the narratives accompanying the previous few challenges, here's a little info on FRANKENSTEIN.
Frankenstein isn't the actual monster, at least, not in the original story by Mary Shelley. Instead, it's actually Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who attempts to create life in his laboratory. The big green guy has inherited the name, and now, when we hear it, we think of the monster, not the creator. This masterpiece of literature was written by Shelley when she was 19, and it has been suggested that it is the FIRST published work of science fiction. It was published in London, 1818.
If you have never read the actual book, it is worthwhile (along with Bram Stoker's Dracula - creepy, Gothic horror/erotica to be sure!).

Gotta tell ya...Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks may be one of the funniest movies ever. Forgot to give the nod to Jam for the win.

Yup. Love Mel Brooks movies.
Found a small patch of PUNKINS. It was only 5 or 6, and they were pale, so they were pretty fugly. I passed on the photo - someone can do better than that - was FAR from win-worthy. Wasn't the big farm out towards Madison, but I had only a brief reprieve from the deluge...
Sure aint pretty but, I suppose that's what most of em look like now. A score for sure.
That's what they look like around here any way.
How about an animal challenge? Any warm blooded, non human, not on your kid's "See 'n Say" - non standard farm animal.
Say like a camel or lama. Like this from across the road from the pumpkin patch here. Don't every one have a camel next to their pumpkin patch or something like that.
