    "It's August..."

    "THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO GREAT!"

    Then you know what you must do

    Invent a time machine

    And go back and cock-block their father

    There's a pretty crummy stephen fry book with this plot.

    The only sort of internet prank I really hate on April 1st is the "Hey look at this rad and cool thing OH WAIT IT DOESN'T EXIST HAHA"

    But then, the best pranks are when they make you think they are doing this but it turns out to actually be real.

    Damn, I missed a good one at work, though if I was there it wouldn't have worked I guess.

    Some random guy knocked on the back door, said he was an employment manager for the main branch, spent about two hours having the new trainees make pizza for him to taste, would yell at them about quality of various things, made them clean random shit etc. Then the 4 o'clock manager showed up and was like 'Who the fuck are you" and then guy just ran away.

    See, I like those, but I don't like "We're closing down/getting bought out!" I obviously don't believe them, I just don't find it very funny.

    Remember when Good Old Games did that as a promotional stunt?

    And it wasn't even April Fools?

    That was...an ill-advised prank on their part.

    Am I the only person who thought it was fucking hilarious when they did that? People getting buttmad about it was pretty hilarious too, especially the ones that still haven't gotten over it.

    wait, what happened?

    Basically, Good Old Games put out a thing saying that they were shutting down, and they'd had a good run, and everything. And then they put out some weird promotional videos, including ones of them all being priests and saying that they had sinned and it was kinda odd. Then it turns out that while 'Good Old Games' was shutting down, it was turning into GOG, and focusing on selling more than old games and basically it was a really, really weird way of saying that they were going to start selling new games as well.

    Nah, Sam's got a string of buddies/sugar mommas lined up to take care of him. Mike's more the kind of guy to get in there with a story, case the place across the street while under the guise of doing something else at his current location, and then get out when someone realizes something's up.

    And maybe grab a snack along the way.

    Literally the pilot episode has a tip about stealing a yogurt from the fridge of the house you're breaking into because if you can get caught, you can just act confused as if you thought it was your house and your yogurt. Dude is all about the stolen free food.

    The gay sunrise story had me literally in tears. Not just the story though, the way it was told was incredible.

    I hate bad pranks with no real inspiration.

    But a good prank? One that you can talk about for years and years?

    Yeah, bring that shit.

    I got my dad pretty good when I was fourteen. We had just come back from about ten hours of yard work, I was trying to rehydrate in the kitchen, chatting with my stepmom ...

    noticing the frosty beads of condensation on my glass ...

    hearing the sound of a boiling hot shower from the master bedroom ...

    And then I thought, 'Yes, this is the moment to rebuke my father for many reasons.'

    Have you ever heard the sound of a boiling hot potato being shoved up a donkey's backside?

    He made that sound. He didn't know he could make that sound.

    My girlfriend hit me with that a few years ago.

    After my initial reaction, I didn't say anything - just put our names on the chalkboard in the kitchen, with a "1" next to her name.

    Later that day, I added a "1" next to my name. She went crazy trying to work out what I'd done (which was nothing).
