Since boss is not here, and it is nowhere to be seen I propose to have a party instead. Let's have a party. It's great when you get started out. We will throw our hands up and shout 'party'. We will throw our heads back and say "party, party, party".

Oh, why don't you come and join?!

@Morphe Anything is possible, the key questions is "What is the probability"
While I have actually walked the banks of the Passaic as described, I would not suggest it for others. It is neither scenic nor is it easily traversed. In short, Yes it's possible, but the probability is extremely low.

Your DJ experience proves my theory that states that Mariah Carey's music has the same repellent properties as the toxic clouds coming out of Chernobyl nuclear plants. So Ken, now you know, don't forget to Hazmat report whenever a DJ plays Mariah Carey on the disco.

Would it be the Laurice song? I recall him singing about he is afraid in one song Ken played few days ago. Alas I don't remember the end of the song. But if someone finishes his/her song probably means the weren't that afraid.
