You could get me to do that, Hec. I hate to say. I think my prank test is "Will the pranked person laugh?"
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Ah, yes, that game. I forget what we called it in middle school, but watching everyone figure it out except for one person (who makes it even funnier by occassionally saying "Oh, I think I see the pattern!") was priceless fun.
We called it Mao.
I don't like practical jokes, but little things like messing with a coworker's cube just a bit doesn't bother me too much.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
the search-and-replace job on someone's law school applications to replace all instances of "law" with "pederasty"
Bwahahahaha!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We just had a baby shower at work, and it didn't suck. It's possible I'm biased by the lunch they provided and the lunch I won unscrambling words.
Reason ita's no longer a programmer:
I didn't catch the fact that "aieficp" doesn't unscramble to "pacifier." One of the developers might have beaten me to unscrambling them all if he'd just let go of his error-checking routines.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
the search-and-replace job on someone's law school applications to replace all instances of "law" with "pederasty"
Funny as hell.

Yeah, but good thing he spotted it, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I also pranked Emmett's godmother in high school when we traveled to the Columbia Scholastic Press Fair thingie. I conspired with our teacher/mentor, Mr. Arnett, to convince her that we'd stumbled upon a small folk club where James Taylor and Joni Mitchell did a surprise set. We even worked up a handbill and a signed setlist. It was beautiful watching her stew at this missed once-in-a-lifetime moment and try to act like she didn't care and she'd much rather have gone to the folk art exhibit.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, but good thing he spotted it, too.
Oh, hell yeah. I'm pretty sure the Harvard School of Pederasty wouldn't have been all that amused.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Kinda glad I'm not going in to work tomorrow, even though I doubt anyone will try to prank me.(My flight to Toronto is at 3 tomorrow, and I decided to take the whole day off, since the time was available.)
