theonlyski 3 #1 April 1, 2011 Tis the day, what kind of pranks are you pulling? Also, some clarification was needed around my office... If you set up a prank today (the prank was a giant rubber spider tied to a cabinet door) but the person doesn't open it till next week, can they still be mad?? I unfortunatly can't pull many pranks at work today "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #10 April 1, 2011 Quote And let me guess, when you started to tell people you were in labor/had the baby no one believed you. Yep! We lived in a different state from all of our family, we had to have that conversation over and over again, "no really. It's not a joke!" One friend who came to the hospital made me unwrap his blanket and prove it to her. The woman who did the ultrasound had never been wrong in the 5 years she had been doing them. The doctor thought he was going to be a boy all along, based on the heartbeat. He couldn't wait to get back to the office to tell the technician! Nick also arrived on his due date; early on he was dubbed, "Nickster the Trickster" by my dad. And theonlyski, he's had the same girlfriend for 2 years. I think he's doing ok. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyMarko 1 #11 April 1, 2011 Indoor fireworks for us. Sure, it's not that safe. But a few bottle rockets tossed into the shower while someone is trying to get ready for class is always funny. And we've proved our smoke alarms don't work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 3 #17 April 1, 2011 #24: Drunk Driving on the Internet 1994: An article by John Dvorak in PC Computing magazine described a bill going through Congress that would make it illegal to use the internet while drunk, or to discuss sexual matters over a public network. The bill was supposedly numbered 040194 (i.e. 04/01/94), and the contact person was listed as Lirpa Sloof (April Fools backwards). The article said that the FBI was going to use the bill to tap the phone line of anyone who "uses or abuses alcohol" while accessing the internet. Passage of the bill was felt to be certain because "Who wants to come out and support drunkenness and computer sex?" The article offered this explanation for the origin of the bill: "The moniker 'Information Highway' itself seems to be responsible for SB 040194... I know how silly this sounds, but Congress apparently thinks being drunk on a highway is bad no matter what kind of highway it is." The article generated so many outraged phone calls to Congress that Senator Edward Kennedy's office had to release an official denial of the rumor that he was a sponsor of the bill."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #24 April 2, 2011 Quote Possibly a hijack... How far is too far when it comes to April fools jokes/pranks? Buddy of mine said his 20 yo friend with benefits texted him and said she just walked out of the doc's office and that she's pregnant. He's 38, I think, and has other friends with benefits. Freaked the fuck out, especially when she didn't respond immediately to his "are you fucking kidding me?" text. Hours later she said it was a joke, because he was too serious.

thinwheats 0 #25 April 2, 2011 I completely forgot this year... My best one was 2006. I got a random buddy to call my folks as my coach, and tell them I had a hard landing under turbulent winds and was taken to the ER. Over the next 5 hours we developed the story up to the point that they were frantically shopping for plane tickets to come visit me in the ICU. My mom, saint that she is, said, "YOU'RE A FUCKING ASSHOLE, I HOPE YOU DIE!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
