I had the craziest day at work today. Some guy came in and started dancing around with this song playing in the background. He turned some of my coworkers into balls, he turned fired bullets into rose petals, super weird. But at least the music was pretty good, so I got over it
@Belzabond
I was there too! Did you see that one guy split into two guys?
