Hey guys!

It's been a while, sorry for not being around recently. Been on the road for the past few weeks, touring with the band, but I have been checking in with the site, trying to keep up.

As per usual, while on the road, in our down moments and to keep our sanity, we often "rib" or prank each other to keep ourselves occupied and give ourselves a good laugh.

That said, what was the best or "worst" prank you guys have ever pulled on someone...

I'll share a few if I get a few responses..

My aunt's boss used to run a custom plastic manufacturing plant and was searching the internet for a machine that crushes plastic into small pieces by using heavy, large diameter steel balls. Well, when you type "plastic ball crusher" into the search engine...this is what you get. Click Here

He sent the link to a variety of people that he knew would get a kick out of it, including my wife & I, with a note that he was going to start making them for distribution in the Northeast. Unbeknownst to him, I have my own email address and my wife forwarded it to me suggesting I prank him. I emailed him pretending to be the owner of a chain of adult stores with a very specialized clientelle for which his new product would be perfect. He freaked out, profusely apologized and tried to explain that it was just a joke. I didn't think it was funny at all, and I resented not only his humor...but obviously his opinion of people (like my customers) who want and need products such as this. "How am I going to tell people I've shown your product to that it was a joke? Do you mind answering that one for me?" Emails were exchanged over the course of weeks, each getting angrier and more erratic.

Signed...Al DeSalvo.

For the following year and a half, he went insane thinking some crazy guy from Long Island was going to seek revenge on him for his joke. It was only discovered when my wife...of course...replied to a random email of his and cc'd me as well.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Does turning your neighbor VW bug, sideways in his garage count?

No. I did it after I was woken up one Sunday morning by a realtor with prospective buyers. It seems my house was listed for sale by owner in the paper. Surprise for everybody except my neighbor.

Perhaps so. That may have unconsciously been the reason his house had the door boarded over and a very official looking ‘QUARINTINED’ sign (before the days of computer print-what-you-want) displayed.

:grin: :grin:

Oh and kiddo's dad has a GEO, so the crew he works with in the warehouse took shrink wrap and totally wrapped up the car.

One of my favorite things to do at the end of the telegram era (late 60’s early 70’s) was to send a telegram say…

HAULT EVERYTHING *STOP* DISREGUARD FIRST TELEGRAM *STOP*

While sitting in the living room I hear a blood curdling scream ,she comes into the room hands on her hips yelling LOOK at ME JUST LOOK at Me ! One red and one yellow boob!
I did not know that she had a mammory gram scheduled that day or that I had really got food dye instead of food coloring.That stuff has to wear off! She still gets upset if during sex I say mmmmmm Cherry!

In the print industry, practical jokes always abounded...when someone was away from their light table, they would often come back to find their rulers or other objects stuck to the glass with Spray Mount, or if they might find a jar of opaque (a black paint-like substance used to darken areas of film) tipped over with a large black puddle apparently spreading across the glass...only to find that the "puddle" was just a piece of black film cut out to look like one...my personal favorite was to catch a bug with a piece of tape, & attach it to the bottom of some woman's magnifying loupe...they would start back to work, look thru the lens, & see an insect magnified 10x...when I heard her scream, I knew I had done a good one...

I used to flip the cellohane wrapper on a pack of smokes so it covered the opened end. Was funny watching the drunks trying to get a smoke out.

I've giving a few cellphones a condom.......not good using the lubed ones though.

LMAO ^^^
