It's a festive Jewish holiday. Starts tonight.

I plan on being trashed off my ass from tonight through tommorow night.

Happy Purim!
 
sounds a bit like watching the rocky horror picture show
The audience is expected to provide all of the "special effects." As is traditional, when Haman's name is said, the audience must make as much noise as possible. In addition to drowning out Haman's name, the audience also sits by armed with popcorn and confetti. Every time the word "feast" is said, everyone throws popcorn in the air (and at the people sitting around them) and every time the words "festival" or "party" are said, everyone throws confetti in the air (and at the people sitting around them).

There are many different customs, but I've celebrated Purim in many different parts of the world and I've yet to see this one.

I got hit in eye with a hard candy at my Bar Mitzvah.
Freaken kids were aiming at me.
