Presentation Synopsis: The spaceman, thinking the coast is clear, unseals his helmet and begins to make himself comfortable in the alien landscape. Unbeknownst to him, the rock behind him was actually the horrifying alien now stalking him. It seizes him, tearing his spacesuit away --- revealing white tie and tails beneath. At a gesture, a staff appears in his hand with which he may defend himself, but instead he presents it with a flourish to the alien, who pirouettes while he produces with magical flair an opera hat and second cane. They join hands and finish by high-stepping to "Hello, my baby, Hello My Honey!".

Costume Source and inspiration: Their own imaginations, fueled by waaayyyyyyyyy too many Warner Brothers cartoons and Mel Brooks movies.

Music: To hear the music, you can download this MP3 file of
