They could be floppy burgers.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

No problem...

In fact, there's NO problem with your cake, Chris, you got the special piece with the Baby Ruth on top. That's GOOD luck!

Is that what it is, or is that the piece that was on the picnic table when a goose flew over?  cheesy

Given what today is, I'll take the APS scapegoat gig for today. 

(I'm pretty good at it too, since I'm the 24/7/365 scapegoat here at Festung Scout....Just ask Mrs. Scout.)  grin

Some of my favorites, this list not inclusive.

Go into the windows mouse settings and reverse the buttons.
Place scotch tape over the mouse ball.
Reprogram peoples voice mail.
Put vanilla extract in water cooler jug (hey at least its a food product)
Go get in finger full of the really disgusting grease thats on the mats of a forklift, apply to ear piece of phone.
Put for sale signs on coworkers cars that are close to road. Very low price and their phone number. Remove before they see said sign.
Put UPS truck on jack stands while in office waiting for check for cod package. 
If its cold out put sprinkler on roof of car for several hours. End result iceberg in parking lot.
Switch regular and defcaf coffee in pots.
Super glue foam coffee cups to peoples desks when not looking.
Color photo copy money and let lay around office. Yes people will fight over a fake 100 dollar bill.
Borrow peoples keys and move their cars a few spaces over.

I could go on.

I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?
A few months-mods

Heh, sounds like a April Fool's prank my brother and I pulled when we were around 6 or so (we're fraternal twins).  We got up early in the morning, just after our mother had started brewing a pot of coffee (after which she usually takes a shower, and was thus distracted)  and POURED damn near a whole thing of pepper into the coffee pot.  Needless to say, our parents were NOT amused.  grin

Greatest April Fool's day joke ever, though, was one that was pulled back in the 1970's in Alaska.  Apparently, this helicopter pilot who was known for his April Fool's day jokes spent the entire week prior to 4/1 ferrying old car tires to the top of an old volcano.  Then on 4/1 he lit them on fire.  The town immediately below the volcano (Sitka) freaked thinking that the volcano had come back to life and was about to erupt.  laugh

I worked at a convention center as a teenager, and when April 1st came along, I was smart enough to park my car in a neighboring parking lot.  That day: 

-The manager's car got shrink-wrapped to the light pole he parked next to. 

-We picked up a co-worker's Ford Festiva, moved it around the corner of the building, taped a table skirt around it, and dumped a gallon bucket of mustard (taken from the concession stand)  on his windshield.  It stained the windshield.

-Sugar was poured in the pots of coffee, and mugs were superglued to the break room table.

-Forklift grease was spread on the seats of the forklifts.

When I worked for American Rifleman it was non-stop practical jokes.

One guy made the nearly fatal mistake of sharing how much hated bananas.

I tortured him for several weeks with bananas, banana peels, and banana extract oil.

The best?

Brutally hot and humid day in DC. I took a syringe and needle and ran it through the window seal on his car.

He was absolutely freaking livid when he opened up his car at the end of the day.

The next day there were about 6 of us in the parking lot. When he pulled in we all started singing the Banana Boat Song...
