HEY YOU GUYS!!!*

 

 

It's Friday night...do you know where your sanity is?

 

*This is not a portrait of me.

[scott7278]

Since we're coming up on Halloween, I thought we'd kick off our discussion with a few topics:

 

1)  What is the best prank you've ever pulled?

 

or

 

2)  What is the best costume you've ever worn?

 

Keep it clean, please!!! ;-)

Ping!

From now on, every thread will have the keyword SINGLESTHREAD for easy archiving.

Thanks for the ping

You're very welcome. I'll start us out. When my coworker left his computer unattended one time, I pressed the "Prt Scr" button and saved the captured image of his desktop.

I then went into the control panel and changed his desktop display to that image. Then I right-clicked the desktop and unchecked the "Show Desktop Icons." Finally, I pulled the Start Menu off the screen.

The result? A perfect replica of his real desktop, with none of the functionality. It was so hard to keep from laughing while watching him not be able to double click anything!

I'll start us out.

Should be in the peat moss of the New Jersey swamp where I buried it all those years ago.

[ozarkgirl]

OK, I'd been checking "singles" but I think I can do this as well.

[scott7278]

Ba-dum!

[ozarkgirl]

So tell us all, what is your costume this year? I haven't been to a Halloween party lately but I've been to some parties in the past with some neat costumes. I do remember one guy, had a mask on the back of his head and all his clothes on backwards, it was kinda neat, but every time you talked to him, he turned around and tried to talk to you backwards. Kinda weird!

[scott7278]

I'm not much into Halloween, to tell you the truth. The local teens pretty much egg anything that sits still (namely cars) so I prefer to go out of town on Halloween night.

[Dashing Dasher]

Best Costume....

Oh my....

1. Grace Kelly.
I wore a prom dress, a tiara on my head, bandages, a sling and a steering wheel around my neck.

Three people yelled at me. Two tried to hit me.
Success!

2. Come as your favorite dead celebrity night: Liberace
I wore a ton of costume jewelry and a robe - with dark circles around my eyes. This was a few weeks before he died.

Two people yelled at me.
Success!


3. Len Bias.
I wore my University of Maryland Track Suit with black facce make-up and a BIG WHITE SPOT AROUND MY NOSE.

Four people yelled at me.
Two tried to kill me.
SUCCESS!!!


People get pissed when their idols die and you make fun.
Didn't know that. ;-)

Silly you, If I were in your area, I think I'd get a cop costume and have a blast!

On my friend's birthday, I logged on to his ISP's mail server and sent him email from himself with the subject "Happy Birthday to Me."

You are one sick individual.

I like it.

[Rca2000]

As for (1), aside from the usual"is your refrigerator running, then go catch it", calls that I was involved with, (back when one could get away with that with some anonymity)and even a call to some woman, randomly, from the phone book at 2:30 or so, saying that "this is Sgt. Riely from the police, and your son is here at the station"....

I guess the best prank I played was one that I, and a school buddy did, in retaliation, for being awoken at 2am, by my sister. lets just say it involved those old, BIG type of flashbulbs.

[Dashing Dasher]

The steering wheel was the real clincher.

When I was a rotten teenager, I had a "safety patrol" badge (remember those!) and would use it on little kids that didn't know the difference.

Today, they''d probably shot you.

[scott7278]

A cop costume? Please! We have one sheriff, and doing that would only guarantee a butt-kicking. ;-)

And then it would be the kids' turn.

[ozarkgirl]

About 20 years ago, my dad who knew we occasionally smoked pot.

I got this call "Hello, this is Detective from the Lawrence County Sheriff's department, I have a warrant to search the premises for marijuana". Dead silence (I was thinking ok, we never have that stuff here but it just so happens we have a small bowl beneath the bathroom sink). If he hadn't bust out laughing, I would never had known.

Still stands as the best "practical joke".
