A Terrific Prank
Since it's prank season - and I know a lot of you will insist April 1 is prank season, but it's just not so - I thought I'd pass on this wonderful jape you can do on one of your friends. It involves only minimal expense.

First, pick a friend you'd like to torment with this delightful gag. Then go have a set of business cards made - perhaps a hundred, perhaps more. The cards should have your friend's name, phone number and email, and should read ": The Art Of Photographing Oldmen." (Yes, "Oldmen" should be spelled like that, one word.) Below that, it should say "Boudoir or Natural Style."

And that's it! To start the hilarity, distribute the card throughout the city, at bars, coffee shops, libraries and the like. Put the card everywhere! Then settle back and watch the fun.

1. Does it have to be a friend?
If I were to go to the trouble of gaslighting someone, I would probably not select a friend.

2. No, you know, I guess it could be anyone.
But then you won't have the pleasure of your friend complaining to you about all the weird calls he's getting.

4. Stick your roommate's hand in a kettle of warm water and they will pee in their sleep.

7. Found it in a junk pile, eh?

Anyway, good gag!

I once lived in a huge apartment with several other people. One guy - we'll call him "Ralph" - was moving out, and this friend of mine, "Clancy," was moving in. Clancy was moving not into Ralph's room, but into a room Ralph had been using to store broken furniture. Now, Clancy didn't like Ralph to begin with, and the fact that Ralph had fucked off without moving his huge collection of useless junk didn't help.

Clancy was good and mad already, so I thought I'd add fuel to the fire. I got a huge jar, filled it with water and yellow food coloring, and made a kind of medical label with Ralph's name on it. It looked very much like the world's largest urine sample. I snuck into the room and placed it under the last and largest piece of furniture, which was an incredibly heavy desk.

Well, Clancy worked all day clearing that room, getting progressively angrier and angrier, cursing Ralph's name with every breath. By the time he got to the desk, he was ready to fucking kill Ralph. He moved the desk and found, apparently, an abandoned jar of piss in what was to be his room. Well, you should have seen the freakout. I don't know how I kept it together, and Clancy doesn't know the truth to this day.

In fact, Ralph (whom I have no particular grudge against) is known generally as the guy who for some reason hoards pee. It's been mentioned to him a few times, and the resulting confusion is hilarious. It's the joke that keeps on giving.

6. Tell me I'm not alone in being a freak here.
So we're getting an intranet at work, call it "Better Know a Colleague," and we've been discussing who will have editing privileges.

I made the point that we shouldn't be allowed to edit each others' profiles, because it would be all too tempting to play pranks, and everyone looked at me like I was some kinda asshole.

Like, I would think it would almost be too easy. :shrug:

8. Oh, they were just being high and mighty.
They'd have pulled some kind of lame jokes eventually.

14. I thought the guy's tats were a bit odd
considering what he was charged with.

15. Yeah, definitely freakish tats.
to each their own, I guess. Weird....

Hey, my son actually got the new Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 yesterday at his school's book sale. He was intensely bummed to realize his archaic computer didn't have the graphics capability to run the game. So good ole Dad installed it onto HIS own computer. Now he can't wait to come home from school today and start playing with it. He's got Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 right now...

:D

17. You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.

You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're older still...

11. I might do that to someone I don't like, but that doesn't look like a
funny thing to do to a friend.

12. Do not try these with anything but an old carbureted clunker.
And one without a catalytic converter.

(And if you don't understand that, don't try it at all. I beleive there is a a risk of damage to modern engines.)

On an old six cylinder engine, swap over the spark plug leads for cylinders 3 & 4. It will cause the spark to happen on the exhasut stroke for those cylinders. It will backfire like you wouldn't believe.


Another trick is to fit a sparkplug in the tail pipe, disconnect the lead to #1 cylinder and connect it to the one in the tailpipe for a lovely flaming exhaust effect.
