I'm already into the mood of things... grin" border="0

What do the ever-eloquent, light of heart members of APS have in mind for the poor souls they'll come in contact with today?

If not much is planned, then what are some good stories from years past?

Mike Irwin is my Favorite Mod.

I hope Hillary wins the Democratic nomination because I'm voting for her.

Why would one want to pose as a poser?

Nothing. Hopefully the anticpiation of a prank will be enough.

When I worked for subsidiary of Hitachi, we were predominately an Irish office....St. Patty's Day was a holiday, open bar all day....We had 2-3 people from the home office.

Well, they had never heard of April Fools....well, someone, come to find out later it was the PRESIDENT of our little group....taped the little hose in our kitchen, so anytime someone turned on the faucet, they would get sprayed....almost everyone got sprayed, because once you got "hit", you'd smile and wait for the next. It was truely an awesome group to work with.

Well, they happened to send in someone fairly high up from Japan to look around that day....he got soaked and was PISSED....REALLY, REALLY mad....we had to calm him down, then explain what was going on....once he noticed that most people in the office had tell tale wet spots, he started to laugh his ass off.

Rumor has it he did the same then when he went back to Japan!!!

Oh, and I'm going to remove the disclaimer in the first thread.

Not needed today.

So far I've swapped the M and N keys on two keyboard and put a little post-it (trimmed to 1/4"x1/2" so only the sticky part is used) on the bottom of an optical mouse, with April Fool written on it.

I plan on winding up some phone handset cords tight.

The key for me is not to have to fix or clean up. It's the little things that matter

Maybe some saran wrap under the seat /over the women's bowl.... Nah.

Been getting people with this powerpoint presentation, threw it into a few lucky peoples startup folders on their computer.

I believe, for Windows machines, there is still a program that will temporarily remap the keys on the keyboard.

I'm so far past April Fool's joke, those are for children.

By the way, the real Fistfull has been banned.

He will receive the following message upon trying to log in ""We have found another designated ScapeGoat and your services are no longer needed. Best of luck finding another site looking to fill such a position".

I told my wife I'd buy dinner tonight at a seafood joint in Des Moines when we go down to pick up a new shotgun for me, I might have to take to her to Hooters instead and tell her April Fools.

And if I wasn't on the Air Force's network, I would have all sorts of fun with that. grin

I have done the keyswap deal though.

Need to spell his name correctly if you are going to ban him.

The thing is, that doesn't work for touch-typists. I don't even look at the keyboard. The remapping, though, if someone starts to transcribe, say, a handwritten document and is looking only at the document, they'll look back at the screen and see the worst mis-spellings possible. cheesy

Here's one...you can remap individual keys, which would make someone just think they'd forgotten how to type or something!

I'm going to email the Clinton campaign and urge her not to give up before the convention. Every time I think about that, it cracks me up.

The funny thing is my wife has probably been to Hooters more times in the past 12 months than I have in 2 years. I think she takes people there for the shock value.

Well, Woot.com is having a "woot off" today...

The only problem with that is that they're selling the same Black and Decker battery back up set over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

But they did throw in a Bag O'Crap a few minutes ago. Once again, I failed to get one.

I'll provide one to you. Even flaming if you prefer your "BoC" warm.
