Oh hell, I forgot about AFD...

Hmm...I may have an idea...

*looks at the calender* Mother FUCK! I'm not gonna be around to see the meyhem of this year's Apple Fools Day on SD.Net... Of all the rotten. Oh well I'll have to pull some on my youth group, and continue to be that just plain out twisted evil person.

Oh, and some stuff I've done for AF is tell someone over AIM that gullible was written on their cieling, she almost looked.

I need to pull off a giant prank this year. Having the house to myself all day should yield something.

Maybe as a big prank we should all surrender to Darkstar

Post by **RogueIce** » 2004-03-29 10:47pm

Ah, damn, I won't be around until sometime after 1700 in any meaningful way.

Oh well...

I have my own plans, delayed though they may be.

Nothing in the past, but we were thinking about putting tubgirl up around school, then decided against it. Maybe Lime Cat instead..,

My friends were debating pulling off a fake hostage crisis, but in this day and age that's not a good idea.

If you've got one of those flexible hose deals on your kitchen sink, and it has a lever for operating, and it rests with the spout vaguely horizontal, here's what you do:

Wrap a rubberband around the lever so that it rests in the "on" position. Point it in its holster so that it faces the sink operator. As soon as they turn on the sink, the water'll be diverted to the hose, and will spray all over whoever turned on the sink, not to mention whatever portion of the kitchen is behind them.

I got my dad with that last year. Now I have to think of something better.

Another possibility is putting saran wrap over the toilet bowl. If your victim isn't very aware, they'll piss all over the saran wrap, splashing urine on them and the surrounding bathroom.

Choose your victim wisely, however; they have to be dumb enough not to pay attention while they're wizzing. This wouldn't work on me, for example, but it probably would work on my mom.

Both of those are so freaking old...

Here's an older one that is still classy: Go to work (or school, etc), and fill a well-traveled area (usually a lobby or somesuch) with Dixie cups filled with water, close enough so that they have to pick them up one at a time to avoid knocking them all over.

If you're feeling really creative, you can use dye in some of them to write a message.

Robert Treder · Post by **Robert Treder** » 2004-03-30 02:26am

Yeah, but the advantage of the ones I suggested is that you can set them up in about two seconds.

It would take like an hour to set up that dixie cup prank. And if I saw that at school, I'd kick them over. And if someone did that at work, I'd give them a write-up. So I don't think that one will work beyond the drawing board.

The scale of it is the beauty. You have no sense of accomplishment.

For those working in an office and want to cause some serious annoyance.
Scotch tape all the phones so that the hook stays depressed when they're picked up, and for good measure, you may wish to tape the entire phone together.

I have a great sense of accomplishment. It's just that kicking over a bunch of paper cups filled with water isn't accomplishing very much.

For practical jokes, the old, simple, reliable ones are best. Complicated ones have a lower chance of succeeding, and are harder to explain to people afterwards (half the fun of a practical joke is telling other people how so-and-so fell for it). A good ol' quarter-glued-to-the-sidewalk has a 100% chance of success, for example.

Another thing about practical jokes is that you want to achieve mild frustration rather than total devastation. Telling someone that their mother died can be a hoot, but it doesn't usually make for long-term friendships (most people are sensitive about stuff like that for some reason). So the goal should be to make somebody realize they've been "gotten" without them totally flying off the handle. Besides, you don't want to get in trouble.

In Computer lab, I may execute an instruction to all the computers to force them to open a link to tubgirl.

It could be a little time consuming, but if you have somebody who shares your computer with you, or you have full and unsupervised access to a friend's computer, make a backup of the web browser's shortcuts somewhere, then copy and paste an URL like http://www.matrix-xp.com/ into everyone of those shortcuts. This is a lot easier if you know the victim's net-surfing habits (or if they leave everything in neat folders).

Urgh, that's Thursday. That means that as soon as I come into work, both Osama and Al-Zawahiri will be captured, Michael Jackson will be busted out of prison by a secret force of young ninjas and Martha Stewart will escape from jail in a wicker airplane.

I can only imagine what Mario's gonna do.

installed the blue screen of death screensaver on someone's computer. i also created a wallpaper image that looks exactly like the BSC, and used it to freak out someone that was completely computer inept.

Ravenwing · Post by **Ravenwing** » 2004-03-30 10:04am

Iv gladwrapped various things, doorways and toilet seats work wonders, especially late at night, but they need a lot of time to set up. a wrinkle makes them really easy to spot.
then theres the humble tub of vasalene, the possibilities are endless

Nitram and I are going to be heading to the county courthouse and picking up the Marriage Liscense Thursday.

Why? Because Payday is Wednesday, and Thursday is the only day the courthouse is open later than 4:30.

I can almost hear my Dad up in Heaven laughing at the irony.

For work two of my favorites are:

1. Saying that you've seen/been told there are mice around the building before, then buy chocolate sprinkles (like you would for Ice Cream) sprinkle a few on someone's desk, tape one of those furry cat mice to targets phone. And enjoy.

Or (good for all ages)

2. Call someone, conference call someone else in the office, put on mute, and then listen to the small talk.
