IMG description: Fargo, dressed in a sheer red bodysuit, stands in front of a ladder with pieces of paper taped to it. Suspended from the ceiling is a shovel, pointy side down, with a vinyl record attached. The record is "Abba Eban Speaks". Fargo is standing such that his face is behind the vinyl record, which has Abba Eban's face on it; it looks like Eban's face is attached to Fargo's body. The string suspending the shovel is held by a seated audience member.
