Silliness Just so you know, I'm on to you!

It doesn't matter what news stories are posted on the MR front page tomorrow. I won't believe a word!

Anyways... so who already has plans to pull a prank on someone? Or are you going to get in the spirit at all?

Personally I think I'll set a few clocks ahead.

In retrospect, I probably should have added a poll.

If I am up to something I am not going to just blurt it out.

You can wait.

Oh I already figured you had something up your sleeves, HT.

Of course it would be silly to fess up to any pranks one is planning to pull here. So I'm only asking about pranks taking place elsewhere. And details aren't necessary.

One thing I always wanted to do and tried to do last year was get a hold of some crab medicine, hopefully one called something like "crab begone." I wanted to pour half of it out and put the opened bottle with cap off on the metal bar in the male bathroom crapper at work. I wanted to make it look like someone sat down and splashed their privates and forgot to clean up after.

This would be funny cause we got only 2 male crappers and people would be scared to use them. Everyone would be accusing other people and looking for the tiniest scratch.

I couldn't find any crab medicine over the counter to do this with.

My current workplace is already so surreally frightening with stupidity that I doubt anyone would notice a prank. Kind of a non-starter issue here.

Dredged from my distant past: As a grad student, I used to get assigned to give lectures to undergraduates. Some (usually the pre-meds) were so driven to ace the course that they would try to write down every word I said - everything - to memorize for the tests, and never look up. So I used to randomly insert nonsense phrases into my lecture to see how bizarre an utterance would be simply written down and memorized - and never even noticed as I said it.

Never mind - it must have been fun asking.
