[APD] mantis shrimp costume

[PENNY CROWLEY <pcrowley at snet_net>]

I have some calcified, club-like appendages, if you'd
like to borrow them. Smashes right through the front
door glass. No need to say "Trick or Treat", just
strike, grab & run.

I want to be a mantis shrimp for Halloween this year.
