Before the market reopens on Monday you're going to have to scramble and scheme to cover your butt but there's no way you can anticipate the baffling disappearance of a 300-pound psychic the fall from grace of a born-again monkey or the intrusion in your life of a tattooed stranger intent on blowing your mind and most of your fuses. Over these fateful three days you will be forced to confront everything from mysterious African rituals to legendary amphibians from tarot-card bombshells to street violence from your own sexuality to outer space.
