I know some electro DJs/promoters that try to sabotage each other by
pulling out their needles right after their sets.

"Oh, you didn't bring you're own needles?  Sorry, I've got another gig I
have to get to."

BWHAHASHAHAHAHAHAHA.


THOSE DAMNED ELECTROS!!!!

But really, shouldn't you DJs bring your own needles?  I think you should
if you're going to bitch about what is provided.
