• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

BEST PRANKS

Cuzn's post about the guy who wired his friend's horn to his brakes got me thinking.

So, what is the best prank you ever played on someone? Here's mine.

Years ago, when cars actually had hubcaps, I pranked a guy who was my nemesis at work. I put 1/2 pound of shrimp in each of his front hubcaps. When they started to smell really bad, it drove him nuts trying to figure out where it was coming from. I really wish I had been there when he pulled of the hubcaps to find a stinky rotting mess. It still took a while for the smell to go away.
 
I will have to sit back and watch this one. I never did anything like that because I know that sometimes "what goes around, comes around." :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
 
I'm out...

Have watched too many go the wrong way so avoided them altogether...:popcorn: joining Akspyderman :thumbup:
 
Well, I have been pranked plenty of times, nothing malicious or dangerous, and I have always said, "OK, you got me". I have never pranked anyone in that manner. It's all just fun and games, and basically harmless. Sorry if no one else sees it that way. :(
 
I used to work at a strip mine from '76 to the end of '83. We had some fun back then!

One time one of the reclamation bosses had his truck in the mechanic's garage to have something done to it. They told him it was done so he walked out, got in his truck, started it up and put it in reverse. The truck didn't move, so he revved the engine and still didn't move. Put it drive and same results. So now he puts it back in reverse without putting his foot on the brake and the transmission didn't really like that too well! One of the mechanics had jacked his truck up and put jack stands under the rear axle so the back tires were just off the ground!

I've got a bunch of them I can tell!

I grew up in watermelon growing country. Then we're priced at as little as $.10 each after the initial rush was over. I never did this, but heard stories of splitting one and putting the halves under a car's drive wheels. It took a while to get them worn down to the point of regaining traction.

I don't see anyone criticizing you on this one. There a few non-participants--but am guessing we would like to hear about some "good ones." :yes::yes:
 
Two of my cousins were going to work one morning. They worked for the same heating/AC mechanical company at the time. My cousin Dave was sleeping and his brother Bill was driving the truck. When Bill came upon a tow truck hauling a truck backwards he decided to pull his prank. He got up close to the truck and then he yelled out 'Holy *****' and swerved the work truck. Dave woke up at that point and saw the truck in front of them and let out a scream that would have made a little girl proud. Bill had to pull over because he was laughing so hard. Dave was not impressed.
 
Ouch. You folks caught me on a bad day. I watched Deadliest Catch the first couple seasons. Then, like other "reality" programs the producers stage things to try to cause "drama," and--IMO--the show suddenly turns stupid. That's just me though. Carry on! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

had a partner back in my LEO days who hated and I do mean hated snakes with a passion. I reached in the back seat one night and got my brief case and then opened it and quickly tossed a rubber snake into his lap.

we were running down the interstate well after mid nite and he ended up running off the road and into the median and then back up on the road. I was laughing my ass off. he jumped out of the car and cussed me like a dog.

had an older guy were were taking to jail one night for DUI. it was like his 10th one so he knew the drill. he kept asking what he could do to get out of this? once we reached the jail I pulled him out of the back seat and before we entered the jail I told him I know you want to get out of this and here is how this can happen. the jailer who is going to check you in doesn't want it known, but he kind of likes guys. so when I remove the cuffs off your wrist, I want you to lean over and just give him a kiss on the lips. he replied he just couldn't do it so I told him OK not a problem. you're going to stay in jail for a while.

well when we get into the jail sure enough the old jailer was working that night. i gave him my paperwork and got the guy checked in. I proceeded to take his handcuffs off. sure enough, as soon as they came off he leans over and starts trying to kiss the old jailer and the fight was on. finally the jailer wrestled him to the ground and was cussing him asking him what the heck are you doing?

the old drunk guy pointed at me and said that officer said if I kiss you on the lips he'd let me go. by that time I was half way out the door and laughing so hard. the old jailer stayed pissed at me for several months although all the other officers were cracking up about it for several years.

About two months before my wife and I got married I was talking to my soon to be Mother-in-Law. I asked her if I could talk to her privately. I preceded to tell her I have a problem that I don't know how to handle. She tells me to just be honest, and she is sure everything would be okay. I then tell her that I'm sterile, and can't have children. Now mind you, my soon to be Mother-in-Law wanted grandchildren more than my wife wanted children. With her trying not to start crying she preceded to tell me to be honest with her daughter, and we could always adopt. I of course told her I would never adopt as "I'm never going to raise another person's child (honestly, I have nothing against adoption), so we are going to just be a childless couple". At this point I could tell I went far enough, and asked her "what day is today?"
To this day she will not talk to me on April first nojoke and I have been married to her daughter for 28 years now.
