For posting your exploits that have been set in motion. Stuff that you're "planning to do later" doesn't count!

So far this early morning, I've:

- put teabags in the showerheads
- redirected all net traffic that's not from my IP to go to a very nasty site
- loaded the morning coffee with chili powder
- moved a friend's car
- cleaned out another's room completely - the only thing I didn't get was the bed he was sleeping on

Just how evAl are you? :D

- M4H

about 3 seconds after I read that in your original post... I happened to read it backwards as I was turning my head to look at it again. It would have been a funnier joke if you gave the person a normal name.

Here's the prank the local radio station is pulling. Last year, they were advertising $.03 Dale Earnhardt comemerative stamps, and two years ago, they told people who are in support of a lottery to play a test lottery by putting your driver's license into any ATM machine.

Take a small (1.5 inch or less) post-it-note and stick it to the bottom of your co-worker's optical mouse (so it covers the LED)

Make sure to write "April Fools" on the post-it first :) ;)

You might need something better than that; at least for me, I know my computer's behavior quite well - anything under the mouse is noticed immediately. But of course, depending on the person, they might not have the slightest clue about how a mouse works.
If there's computers next to each other, you could switch the wires on the mouse and/or keyboard. Or short out the connectors inside to treat the user to a wonderful April 1st fireworks display when the PC's turned on...nah.
I've never done anything for April 1st; I just never really liked having pranks pulled on me, so I don't do anything to anyone else that can inconvenience them. The closest thing to that is when managers at the Walmart I work at either switch shifts, or leave the store. Then, the punishment/celebration can range from a dousing with water guns, spray string, and whipped cream, to our co-manager's promotion - they jacked his car up, took the tires off, hit him with water balloons, and a few other attack methods. :)

A co-conspiritor let me in my girlfriend's office earlier this morning. We taped her desk, chair, and doorway with police barricade tape. Then on the hardwood floors of her office and hallway, made chalk body outlines of her (she has big curly hair) in a snow angel pose (arms & legs out wide), a guy on his side with a briefcase, hat, and gun, an outline of a knife, and an outline of a duck. Furhter down the hallway we made an outline of a cow (with utters of course) pointing towards her office.

We took some ketchup packets and sprinkled some on all the outlines (most noticibly around groin for the guy).

She works in an university book/journals press.


Edit: She just left for work (9:30). I expect a phone call soon.


EDIT:She called. I can't tell if she was mad at me or not with all that laughter... she mumbled something about revenge...
:D

My fat ass boss just sits on his computer looking at MLB.com all day long and watching the scores. The season just started. I end up picking up his slack everyday. So for April fools I edited his host files so It redirected him to another site. The only thing is I'm never going to tell him because I hate him.
