April Fool's

Well 2011 marks the year as me falling for the most pranks ever! (and mine not succeeding)

Rand and Maggie changed the phone number for Elise's mother in my cell phone and sent me a text "from Elizabeth Scoggin" that she miscounted and 8 more people would be coming to the wedding dinner. My response was "That's great. Let me know names and meal choices... or April Fool's?"

Maggie called me mid-day and asked who had put an ad on KSL.com that she's selling bunnies - she'd received texts from interested persons. Great trick! She thought it was Al, so she made a "For Sale" sign and put in on his car. Turned out that her roommate, Melinda, had started the prank, but by afternoon, it snowballed into Dave selling a bearded dragon, me selling a gorilla,
Maggie and her bunnies.

The best one was coming home from dinner and Rand and I were greeted with a gigantic spider web that covered the whole main floor of our house:




Here's the culprit - or is it the guy in the picture on the wall?!

 Dave used 3 spools of thread to pull this off!

My tricks that didn't work were coloring the milk green (Rand put yogurt on his cereal instead) and the Annoy-a-tron (I was the only one who heard it until Ted came the next day and noticed it). Rachel and I tried to get Dave to come rescue her from locking her keys in the car, but he didn't fall for that either.

Rand and I also presented a fake med school acceptance letter to Ted, inviting him to the Caribbean - all expenses paid, plus a stipend and free kiteboard! Now why wouldn't he fall for that?


 The logo and cancelled stamp were a nice touch, don't you agree?
