April Fools Jokes

So, did anyone pull any worth-mentioning pranks this April?

My "best" one was when my friend Hymie came over I told him that my dad said we couldn't be friends anymore because he was Colombian, and that my dad didn't like crack-dealers. He asked, "Why?" and I said, "'cause it's April Fools Day"

He laughed, so I don't think he took any offense...at least I hope he didn't.

Well, if anyone saw ZU, they would see that a large number of people pulled various pranks around the forums, but it was nowhere near the magnitude that it has been in the past. Best prank I saw this year was probably Cap getting a fake article on Jack Thompson on the front page of Digg News. That was golden.

I'm sure you know what a lacitive does to you.

My cousin doesn't.

Lol!

Heheh, well, I was gonna spread around to my friends that I was getting a huge tattoo on my back, but I sort of ruined it by forgetting all about it...

... Yep, nice. =P

And the MGS article on Digg, as well.

Shame the traffic surge we got that weekend raped the server so bad Hostrocket had to suspend the account for 16 hours. I'm still kind of pissed about the traffic we lost.

Still, it still warms my cold heart to see people on the GameSpot forums using our MGS prank story to troll the 360 boards and rile up the fanboys. I lol'd pretty hard at that.

I was going to make a Tingle-based skin for Zelda Legends this year. Problem is, we're kinda down.

I'm rubbish at April fools jokes, the best I could do was put green colouring in m brothers milk and then put a £10 note on the floor and when my brother bent down I ripped a piece of material so he thought he had ripped his trousers!

I am the worst at april fools....

Everyone knows what I am doing...

Yes, you are double posting. We can all see that.

(((USE THE EDIT BUTTON NEXT TIME)))) ;0)

I come up with what I consider good A.F.D. jokes...but never seem to implement them :0P'

My dad is normally the prank king around our place, so we all decided to team up against him this year.

We started out by sneaking into his room at 1:30AM to steal all his underwear. He didn't notice at first since he decided not to shower until after working in the yard for awhile, but when he did notice it was pretty awesome to see him walking around in a towel hunting for them all over the house.

Also, while he was in the shower, my mom snuck in with a cup of ice water and poured it all over him. You should have heard him shriek! Then she stole his razor and other bathroom accoutrements, which was also quite lulztastic.

After that, we unplugged his computer and short-sheeted his bed. He noticed the short sheeting before getting in unfortunately, but it was still funny nonetheless.

He still hasn't gotten any of us back for it, so I think it's safe to declare victory now.

EDIT: Sorry for the temporary triple-post. Firefox hates me, it likes to try and download pages to open with dreamweaver instead of just viewing them properly.

There was a very nasty one over at Bjork's site. They claimed that the security of the new album (Volta, which i am very much looking foward to, as i am a big fangirl) had been comprimised by some Myspace interloper who had stolen album content, and that much of the album was going to be scrapped. I believed it D:

Heh, you guys heard about the google gulp, right?
I had it up on my screen and a guy came over and was like "hey, that looks good. Where can you get it?"
Sad thing is, he was being serious.

Are you serious?

Because Google Gulp was from 06, haha.

Hmmm it wasn't so much a prank as it was a cruel joke.

I just got glasses (ugh yes I hate them) and April First was the first day I brought them to school and I put them in my bag. When I got home my Mom freaked out and was like "oh my god where are your glasses you've only had them for 2 days!!" and I played along as if I had lost them by emptying nearly all the contents of my bag and she was like "huff, just wait till your father hears about this", and she was really pissed. Then I just said April Fools and laughed for about ten minutes at her. She was still pissed but glad that I didn't lose my glasses.

Meh that was a pretty lousy AFD.

My brother, cousin Helga and I decided to call our cousin Teresita at 2:00am and pretend we were her stalker. My brother has a really deep voice, so he made his voice deeper and he called. he said: " I'm watching you through your slide-door. You looking so beautiful when youre sleeping, so peaceful. The only thing that ruins it is that youre next to HIM (husband). But he'll be gone soon and i will be there to tend to your every whim....those eyelids, I'll take them off so i can gaze into your beautiful eyes. I'll be seeing you". It was soooo funny because right before he said eyelids, he was running out of things to say and me and my cousin were mouthing "high-lights", you know, in her hair, but he said eyelids instead, so when he messed up he had to make the rest up. we started hella laughing so my brother had to hang up. Then the next day, she called at 9:00 pm and she told my cousin, "helga, i have a stalker" and helga was acting scared for her and so she told us to listen to the message and we did. we called her back and told her it was my brother and she got mad. Her and her husband were really scared and because they had called other people and those people were telling her to call the police. She got over it around half an hour later. She really thought she had a stalker cuz we described her room perfectly lol. Its sounds mean...but it was funny! good times gooooood times....

The only one I pulled was minor. I told some of my friends I wasn't going to this school that they all go to. Lol..
