The Superman video sounded horrifying, but when I actually watched it I have to change my vote to awesome. Mitigating factors for me are that it's the reception rather than the wedding, and the crowd was laughing and cheering. And playing the soundtrack may have put it over the top.
It's not at the same level, but I also liked this story from Topless Robot a little while back [edited for coherence]:
I paid a guy $500 to dress up like Batman (Keaton-style) and hang out at the cocktail hr of my reception. His only instructions: drink and mingle. If he was asked why he was there, he had to reply "I know him; we're friends." Having Batman casually enter a conversation with a beer in hand bringing up "that time with Catwoman" was epic.
I still get stories from guests about him grabbing people's asses.
Re: the Superman thing, it reminds of a funny story I heard last night on Moth Radio: Malcolm Gladwell and some friends sang an extremely misguided song at the wedding of a college classmate.
What time do you start?
This morning I was here at 6:55. Sigh.
Holy giant mantis, Batman! ... We don't have to fight it, do we?
Has anyone else seen a really REALLY big praying mantis? The only ones I'd ever seen were the little normal ones, until this one time, in Kentucky, I went to pump gas and sitting on the pump was a mantis literally as long as my forearm. It
looked
at me. I mean, it was a big enough creature to see me as another creature, you know? As opposed to part of the landscape. I hope these giant mantises are common in Kentucky, because otherwise, dude, I saw a giant mantis.
(Now that I think of it, a lot of my stories start with "this one time, in Kentucky...".)
I came face to face with a very big mantis in the grass in Ohio and it was discomfiting. As you note, they look at you. Like you're food.
They are totally the great white sharks of their realm.
Ha, Strega, that Batman story is pretty great.
This morning I was here at 6:55. Sigh.
Oh, god, you have my sympathy. I wish I could linkspam you.
Tommy! Get to work!
Tommy! Get to work!
I am. I'm doing SQL stuff.
unlike some people....
This morning I was here at 6:55.
I do not approve of these shenanigans.
