Everyone Loves a Good Prank

I’ve pulled many pranks in my day and they usually end with hilarious results. One night at 1:00 in the morning, my dad and I decided to go to our next door neighbors (very good family friends as well) and clear out the bar on their deck that they set up for a college graduation party the next day.

The next morning, my neighbor was bitching to everyone on the block until my dad offered anything that he had in the house. When he showed him the recycling bin full of his own liquor, he flipped me upside down, carried me next door, and ratted me out as I was laughing hysterically.

Everyone still talks about my awesome pranks years later. But I’ve had pranks pulled on me too, and I know that it doesn’t feel so good on the other side of the joke.

I was aimlessly searching through funny videos on YouTube and I found a radio feed from some disk jockeys in New Jersey who helped a girl pull a prank on her very strict, traditional father. It’s a little long, but once you get the set-up the laughs start rolling in.



I’m surprised the father took the prank so well…actually I’m surprised the guy didn’t have a heart attack!

The Power of Networks

Have you ever been flipping through the channels on television and come across a movie that you already own, but decide to watch it regardless?

How about when you listen to the radio and there might be a song you’ve heard dozens of times, but because the radio station deemed it worthy enough to have it on the air at that particular time, you should stay tuned in and listen?

I ask myself why I choose to watch the movie with all of the possible censoring, the cutting out scenes of movies to fit into a perfect time frame and, most of all, sit through the commercials. Likewise, I wonder why I tune in to the crappy, static-filled versions of songs I have on CDs and my iPod.

I’d love to get an answer to why I am more interested in movies and songs on the TV or the radio than the same movies or songs on my DVD and CD collections.
