I have to work. It'll be the worst wedding gig ever.
My playlist includes as much Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, etc. That I can. I'll be playing Slipknot, ICP and other wonderful wedding music.
Dinner background music is Apocalyptica.
Now, don't get me wrong, I like a lot of these bands (except ICP) and would sit & listen to their music. But they don't belong at a wedding reception and nobody is going to dance. Yet the bride & groom want me to get as many people out as possible and keep it fun.
So what's going to happen is this:
I'm going to play their music, everyone is going to leave and it's going to be my fault. Or I'll play what the crowd wants, people will have fun and the bride and groom will be mad at me for not playing their music. So I'm going to play what they want me to so I can go home early.

Are you going to be making that cheesy grin/point thing stance a habit? Because that would get annoying.We're going to throw our first costume Halloween party. We should have about 25 guests, we got games, prizes lined up. We should have a great time.
This may be my costume.

I MAY dress up like that, if the party goers are worth it... Thanks for the idea! :yo:
Man Halloween is coming up fast and I don't think I am going to be able to get my costume as done as I wanted. 
The real trouble isn't time so much as money. Several of the things I need are also the most expensive parts. I may have to alter my costume in order to get it done in time for Halloween

Sexual Harrassment Panda?
I'm poor and depressed this holiday season so I'll probably stay at home and yell at trick or treaters.

Seems about right.
I don't wanna buy no fuckin' candy. Our apartment doesn't even have a light that I can turn off to let them know to just move along.
W/o the mirror, the candy goes quick, but with the mirror the candy stays?
What if they say Candyman 3 times in the mirror?

O, haha... yes, vague. It was an experiment he chose to do based on the idea that making people more self-aware will change their behavior. For example, if people see their face in one of the mirrored pillars at a department store, they're less likely to litter or steal. Not completely true, but some people do respond to it.
His experiment isn't perfect, because there are different kids (of different ages) trick or treating at house house each year. So the set of people he's using for the experiment changes constantly. I still think it's cool.

Could be simpler than that on Halloween. I would imagine that these kids don't readily identify themselves with masks and makeup, so maybe it's just the weird monster in the mirror that scares them off.
Could be. 
The Monster at the End of the Walkway
Whoa, don't take another step towards that door at the end of this walkway guys. Didn't you see the top of that post. There is a MONSTER at the end of the walkway!
Hey, you took another step! Maybe you don't realize that there is a monster there! Probably a mean one! One that would eat us.
Okay, stop it. Stop taking steps. I don't want to meet the monster at the end of the walkway. In fact, I will tape your feet to the ground to prevent you from bringing us closer to the monster at the end of the walkway.
YOU BROKE THE TAPE TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP?! Do not bring us closer to the monster. We're practically at the end of the walkway! We are almost there. Probably another step and there it is.
Why, we're at the end of the walkway and there is nobody here. Oh, that means we are the monsters at the end of the walkway. I am so relieved.
