[d] enclosed in brackets chaotic perfectionist for hire

Yes, it's April Fool's Day. No, I'm not doing anything with the site for it. Oh, and no, I'm not referring to the movie.

Is there anyone who really does a lot for AFD? There are some pretty funny pranks out there (and lists, like this one on Lifehacker), and of course, more lists... like the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time. For some reason I always look forward to it, but I never really do anything.

What's the best prank you've seen (in person, that is)? How about a good prank, gone awry? I'd like to hear the stories first-hand, so it's not just a "friend-of-a-friend" thing.

Maybe I'll have to plan on doing something next year. It's how things work. I find a good idea the day after (or the day of, but need prep), like:

- Filling the window of someone's office with packing peanuts to make it look like the whole office was full
- Fill the back of a toilet with dishwashing soap: the next person to flush gets a ton of suds

As much as I want to do something, I wonder about the retribution that some of my friends, family, and coworkers would exact upon me.
