Dead Man's Party

A get-together hosted by 80's alternative band Oingo Boingo. It's of course reserved for people who are no longer alive, this also includes people who were struck by lightning while walking down the street, and people who were hit by something in their sleep. If you manage to get an invite, word of advice, make sure you leave your body at the door

I thought being a zombie would suck, but I just got invited to a Dead Man's Party! SWEET!

Dead Sea Syndrome

1) A one-sided relationship.

2) A situation between two individuals where one is always the giver and the other is always the taker.

3) The act of an exploiter or parasite

Taken from the Dead Sea in the Middle East in that waters flow into it, but nothing flows out. (i.e. it takes but never gives back)

I was a good friend to Adora but she was never one to me. She freely took from me but never gave back. It was your textbook Dead Sea Syndrome.
