i hope you guys have been well! been surprisingly busy for an unemployed guy. most of my time is devoted to looking for my next job (boy o boy is that sucker ever elusive!), but i also got involved with 2 networking groups. one of them is getting a website together, and a feature of the site will be a newsletter, which will contain some of my writing. it's a nice way to get my (real life) name out there for jobs that require writing samples. :>
in other news, i've been doing more gaming stuff lately and that's been fun, but as for the vast majority of you guys that won't mean boo, i won't bore you with the details.
anyway, it seemed like an o so appropriate day for me to do a drive-by posting, because...
...here's a poll!
what was the best april fool's prank you ever pulled on someone? :D

well, it wasn't for April's Fool day but I once talked my dorm's assistant dean into letting me and a couple of friends out of the dorm at night. We pulled panty hose over our heads and crept under the head dean's window. Jumped up and yelled as she was sitting with her back to us. I have never seen a woman of that size (she was quite large) jump so high so fast!!! Good thing for us she also had a very large sense of humor.Good to see you stranger!! -

Hi Ed. Nice to see you. :-)
The best one I ever did was getting a temporary tattoo of a rose on my ankle. My co-workers were in total amazement. It was completely out of character for me. They couldn't believe what I had done. (I have nothing against tattoos, but I probably would never have one.) Anyway, I showed it off to everyone. I was the talk of the office for a couple days before I clued them in to the joke.

Look, an ed-shaped poster! Get him! ;-)
I opt out of today as much as possible for personal reasons, but I have a friend who got a pregnant pal to pee on a pregnancy test, then my friend showed it to her DH. Almost gave him a heart attack (he had already had the big V done).

Hello Ed~It's so nice to see you here. I always loved April Fools jokes. I played them on everyone in the family for years. I'm afraid to pull pranks on the hubby with his bad heart now BUT this was his favorite. Probably 30 years ago. I froze some yummy green grapes, changed the sheets on our bed, slipped the frozen grapes between the sheets, and then enticed the man into bed. Let him go first! Giggle! He laughed all night and we sat there and ate the grapes! Nice memory. -

Nice to hear from you Silver! I hope that you find a job soon! -

I don't need a date to pull pranks on people. My existence in itself is some grand, cosmic accident. I worship the Trickster god. :P
I put shaving cream on my roommate's hand and called him while he was sleeping once. :D
I frequently turn all the books on a shelf so the pages are facing out. I do that mostly at people's houses, but sometimes I do it at bookstores and libraries, too.
I am particularly menacing with water...
Here's a little something for your job search ed. :D

Sorry to be late, but wanted to say hello, good luck, and be well! -
wombat said on Apr 03, 2009....
Did it again tonight...didn't answer your question. I can't think of a good one, because people always know I am "foolin'." But I've tried to pull a few---he didn't buy that I was pregnant. -

u-i: that sounds pretty funny! good to see you too! :>
tobi-lee: hey, you thought that was late, this comment must be positively ancient! and with your sense of humor, i'm shocked!
mimi: [trout-smack!]
CW: nice to see you too! and wow, that's hysterical--it strikes me as pretty out of character for you, too! :>
infernal: gah! [flees!]
:D
that's really, really funny! :D
beyond: and it's good to see you, too! also not a joke. :>
woman: bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! omg, that was a riot! and it's nice to be here again, however briefly. :>
lioness: hey, really long time and no see! and i bet you've got an idea or three for good pranks. :D
ms bradford: wow, i can see how that one would freak out a family member--and speaking of long time no see! :>
rollingc: [trout-smack!]
mongol: darn it, i went to look for your hordes!
pb: hey there, great to see you again!
grape: well salutations, sir! are you sure you aren't yourself the trickster god? :> i like that thing about turning around books. :D and thank you, from one fan of ms. andrews to another. :>
wombat: hi there! good to see you again! :> heh...you're a card, so the fake pregnancy is one i bet mr. wombat expects. :>
bloc: hey, good to see you too! well, as we all know, the economy stinks. i'm working my network and there are a few prospects i'm developing but nothing substantial to report yet.
for myself: i've never actually pulled a proper april fool's joke on anybody, but something my buddy accidentally did to me in college that was pretty funny (in retrospect)...
at my school, finals were all during a single week. i had no exams from wednesday until friday @ 8 am. it was a class in which i wasn't doing well so i was studying my head off. thursday morning, having fallen into a fitful sleep, my buddy from across the hall walked in (i left the door unlocked), just to see how i was doing. terrified, i sat up straight and demanded, "what time is it?"
he looked at me, and said evenly, "it's eight. and it's only thursday."
i flopped back into bed and breathed a sigh of relief: i wasn't missing my exam!
