I like your pic.

Most likely a well oiled runaway train wreck

The worse thing is that is the day of my planned birthday party function.

Best I plan for both just in case I have to switch to an in pending apocalypse party (it is exactly the same except the BBQ'd meat is done quicker and everyone drinks much, much more).
