April Fools
I just heard my coworkers talking about this...
Does anyone have any good pranks planned?
What about good ones you've pulled off in the past or ones that have been done to you?

Nothing planned, but it is the 6 year anniversary of my first date with H!
He actually wanted to propose on our anniversary, but waited because he thought I would think it was a prank.. lol
two years ago andy called me at 630 am to tell me that this HUGE project i had been working on was in violation. someone had filed a complaint and my client was being criminally charged via enforcement and andy was being interrogated and possibly penalized for not properly enforcing the permit. this was totally feasible because this project was a disaster from day 1 and everything that could go wrong, had.
i freaked out and called my boss who was on vacation in Las Vegas...it was 330 am there. and we developed this huge plan of attack and all the things i needed to do.
then an hour later andy was like..oh what day is it?!?
my boss got a kick out of it and i actually got to tell the story to a bunch of coworkers (i left out that it was april fools and told it sequentially how it happened so everyone was FREAKING out until i got to the very end).
OMG!!! That's pretty good! I'm glad your boss was amused...I'm not sure mine would be if I had called him at 3am! Did you want to strangle Andy?

I'm using my one and only AE as Paula Deen on the P&CE board. There are a lot of them for April Fools. They did it in October as well.
Pretty hilarious. Although I'm alternating between Internet Explorer and Firefox, and posted in the wrong name. fail.
Even still, it is funny to see the AE's people come up with. Most are pop culture icons.

Did you see the cease and disist letter they got last year from the National Pork Board in regards to their Unicorn meat. The NPB clearly didn't get the joke - hilarious.
I have never pulled off any really good ones and never really had any pulled on me either. I assume this is partially because I'm very date conscious so I'm always pretty suspicious that day of anything out of the ordinary.
I had an idea of one to pull on Jay this year but can't decide if it's too much.
I've mentioned previously that bff is pregnant and she's coming over for dinner tonight. Also, we are at least to years from TTC and basically fear preganancy at this point (financial aspects mostly). I thought of having bff POAS for me tonight and hide it and then leave it for Jay on the bathroom counter for when he gets home Friday morning (after working overnight) with a note saying "we've got to talk later" or something to that effect. He won't even realize it's April 1st since he is comlpetely date unaware (he thought yesterday was the 21st!) and he will likely freak out. Too mean? What do we think?
We did a ton of pranks in HS:
- Forked the front lawn of school
- Saran wrapped our vice principal's car (he got most of us back too)
- Kinda lame, but we put chalk dust on a teacher's chair that wore black pants to school
Oh I am sure there are more but those jump out to me.
I'm sure my husband will pull something on me...he's mean like that.
I'm not goot at pulling pranks. I laugh too easily. I thought about telling people that I was pregnant again but then I decided that would be cruel.
LOL yup. And My First Bacon -- which Sami now owns. And the LOST Alarm Clock, and the iPad-cade. Classics.
ETA: The best one, however, was the Tauntaun sleeping bag 2 years ago. Never was a demand made for a prank so highly that they went to the extent of getting licensing from LucasArts and had it made. THAT was epic.

I want to have Niner AEs. I remember reading some of the boards at Halloween and just laughing my tale off. It cracks me up that's you're Paula Deen. I was reading Rachel Ray magazine (I know, not a lot better) about the history of the sandwich, and they said Paula Deen made a breakfast sandwich out of doughnuts. Bahahaha.
Of course. My sister already owns the tshirt...

If you're using multiple servers, make note which you're posting in! hahaha.
Dude, Paula Deen (the actual person) is freaking comedy. That board is full of clever women. Seriously.
If you're ever bored, look up the lasagna sandwich youtube video. It is a hot mess. That chick makes a sandwich the size of a football.

My MIL graduated high school with her. They use to double-date. She's really proud of that fact, like it's her claim to fame or something. haha Part of me likes Paula Deen (seriously, her mac and cheese recipe is to die for), and part of me thinks she's an embarassment to southern charm.
I two thumbs up this idea and may be strongly considering ae formation.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Her red velvet cupcake recipe is freaking awesome.
She got voted 50 of the 50 worst Americans. haha. Some list posted a while ago. It was because she's all about evil heart threatening foods.

We should! I think we'd need to have some ground rules. Like similar to post secret. You can't talk about other Niners, and can't make an AE to be a Niner. i.e. Smo2 or whatever.
