I guess I'm the only one that thought this was a great prank. Of course, this is exactly the kind of thing I did in college. Odd, inexplicable things to confuse people and get reactions. My buddies and I used to go up to the activity center at my college and play racquetball (4 of us, 2 on 2). Anytime anybody walked by, even if in the middle of a swing. We all stopped and started dancing around and pretended like we were riding our racquets like a horse. Usually, one of us would just fall on the ground and start spinning ala Curly from Three Stooges. Most of the time people were confused, some of the time they found it hilarious, and we got a few people that wanted to kick our asses. The most confusing of the bunch being a group of about 15 asian guys who claimed that what we were doing was somehow racist. The scene that ensued got us kicked out of the activity center that night. Another time, we decided we were going to make jello. LOTS OF JELLO. For an entire semester, everytime we went to the grocery store, even if just for milk, we bought a package of jello...any flavor. By the end of the semester, we had loads of it. So we promptly made every single package one night. We had so much hot jello cooling off in the fridge at one time, we were afraid we would break it. After all the jello was finished cooling and ready for consumption, we took a big trash can, strapped it to a chair with wheels for rolling, and walked all around campus and our apartment complex offering jello to anyone that would listen to us. We would then distribute the jello with a ladle. Most people thought we were awesome until they found out there was no alcohol in the jello. It was just regular jello. Then they thought we were strange. No one ate any of our jello (can't say I blame them), but several people accepted our offer to give them some. We were disappointed that no hot chicks wanted to wrestle in it. As an aside, sticking your head into a big vat of jello is freaking COLD. We did other things as well, but I don't have time to type them up now. In short, I commend these guys for this prank. I think it's awesome.
Those writeups are SO FREAKING LONG. My favorite was the Aspen Mission -- the "Meet a Black Person" part was hilarious.
As someone who has family in Aspen and knows the town really well, I found that "mission" freaking hilarious. (On a side note, the Popcorn Wagon, which is next to their snow cone operation, is damn good for crepes.)
LOL! They're messing with the 23rd St. Best Buy! That's a block from my old apartment! Did they go to Cosi afterwards?
Olive Garden. Outback was full. That one block is like a little slice of suburban stripmall right in the middle of manhattan. Gag-worthy.
The McDonald's bathroom attendant is pretty funny. Especially considering he actually seemed to convince the manager that he was supposed to be there. The reason they are so long is that they have everyone that was involved write it up if they want. You might end up with 20 different descriptions of the even all in one huge HTML file.
Hey, man, I was there before that crap popped up. I'm old school. And BTW, there's always an hour wait at that Olive Garden. I've walked by at various odd hours, and there's always people waiting. WTF? It's Olive Garden, people.
