[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.

Here's the follow-up to this post.

Yes, I think they're funny. Yes, they've been around for a while. It's ok though, I want to make sure people have a chance to laugh. Mofo.

If you haven't seen this, watch it... Oh, and it's NSFW.

There's a second version too, and I'll post that in a little while.

This is one of those things that I thought was really funny the first time, and it's still funny, but I have to be in the mood for it to really laugh (or watch it with others around).

That reminds me, I need to have a videos page set up 'round here (gotta plan ahead). Maybe it's time that I get on that.

[Update: there is now a Videos page.] 

I'm a super freak...

We had a costume party at work, and the winner of the best costume was... well, you just have to see the video (or at least click on the picture to see it).

This should be up on YouTube soon, but in the meantime... it's here.

UPDATE: it's on YouTube now.

Drew is a funny guy.

I've been reading his site for almost five years, and it's never failed to amuse me.

cyanide and happiness. really.

My brother introduced me to this site, and I can't stop reading it. Some of it will make you wonder what's wrong with them... but a lot of it is genuinely funny. This comic, for example, is almost like what my friend and I do when someone says they're growing facial hair.

Ok, maybe you had to be there.

bash.org

If you haven't been there, check it out. There are quotes from IRC (Internet Relay Chat), and some of them are really funny. It started with this one from Sean, and continued from there. It covered things from Harry Potter to Bible Bots swearing. Thanks Sean, really.

Please feel free to post your favorites, even if they're in the top 200. Sure, I've read them all, but it's always good to see what other people find funny.

Is there anyone who *hasn't* heard of YouTube?
Hahaha... Retarded? Goofy? Stupid? Yeah, it is.
