Well, since we're a sufficiently evil bunch, let's take the opportunity to share our evil plans. I'm sabotaging my family's computer by creating a fake dock (screenshot, apply as desktop, move real dock to top of screen and hide Posted Image

) and I'm also planning to invoke the power of universal access to use that key repeat error compensator feature thingy to make everyone's text full of typos. Posted Image

So, let's hear yours. Posted Image

I am in Australia.
I am an American with an accent.
I am going to wander the streets.
If someone asks for directions I will:
1. Look confused when they ask for a local street.
2. Get them to say the name of something major like, "Canberra", by asking for reference points
3. I will say, "woooow what are you thinking? That is 10000 miles away. This is America, San Diego to be precise"; I will say San Diego to explain eucalyptus
4. Say April Fools.

It will be grand Posted Image

Well, in my Spanish class we are doing reflexive verb projects, and we start our presentations on April 1st, so in case I go that day, I'm preparing a special alternate april fools version as well. The alternate will be....Interesting.

And then I will push you against a locker and proceed to "make out" with you. I'd have to get all of the correct sanitation devices and such, but I think the looks will be worth it.

Don't forget pictures, Shrout will be estatic. The J could probably tie his hair back and add some glitter and make-up to his face to make him look more feminine. You could also have him buy some of those rubber breasts or other such devices to add to the effect.

I'm not going to do anything, I don't run pranks and I don't think anyone will run one on me. I am curious as to what moki will do this year in his annual "Screw with the minds of the webboard members thing!" (technical term, I think).

I would think that andrew would be likely to pull something off. What would be better (safer!) than making me a temporary admin would be give me temporary or permanant access to The War Room. All moderators (past and present) would freek!
