My reversal was part of an awesome evening that I hosted last Friday. As a Resident Advisor for on-campus living, I'm required to do "programs." Basically, I have to create events that residents will want to come to, so they're not just sitting in their rooms. Some have to be educational or multicultural in nature, and others are simply "social programs."
Cue me. As one of the strangest staff members, I'vev made it my duty to have programs that stray from the normal "Movie Night" or "Lets all go to the Football Game with Paint on our Faces" programs. I decided that the month of October needed something spectacular. Something strange that takes place at night, with costumes and props. You guessed it, I hosted a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I'm allotted certain funds to buy stuff for programs, and I decided that since few of my residents were likely to know what props even were for the show, I wanted to make up little prop bags for people. Each prop bag contained:
a party hat
a noisemaker
a piece of toast
a small roll of toilet paper
cards
bubbles (in place of rice)
and a handy how-to sheet with some basic AP lines and "How to Do the Time Warp"

Then, came the night of the actual movie. I was super excited, and I wanted some way to get people involved before the actual movie started. Almost a "way to pick on the virgins" except that I myself had never seen a complete with props and/or actors showing of it myself. So, it couldn't be just virgins, it had to be anyone who showed up. And then I remembered. The cards. I had shuffled two whole decks of cards for the prop bags, so there would be four jokers in there. Perfect.
As people arrived and got settled, I handed out my little bags of Rocky Horror-flavored joy. Then, once it seemed we had our whole audience, I stood up to thank everyone for coming and do a short introduction. And then I said it.
In Soviet Russia, the Lottery numbers choose you!
Looks of confusion greeted this announcement, so I explained. "look in your bags, if you have a joker hold it up." Four scared faces greeted me, jokers in hand. These four people then had to come up and assist me in doing a hands-on demonstration of How to Do the Time Warp. A "dry run," if you will.
The night went swimmingly, and I had so much fun getting other people to be silly. I will never forget the looks on their faces when I made that little announcement, though. They should've seen it coming, at a Rocky Horror Showing...
