Please send Jen a message of support

As you know; my very dear friend and former co-host, Jen, has been fighting cancer for a long time. Recently, the fight has gotten even tougher. Many of you continue to ask about Jen at station events, and she is always thrilled to hear that the WRRV listeners still remember her and wish her well. Right now, Jen and her family could really use some words of encouragement.

Please visit this website and leave a message of support. Sharing a memory about something you remember Jen doing on the air, or meeting her at a station event would do a lot to brighten her day. And, if it's possible, please also consider making a donation to help with the outrageous medical bills that have been piling up ever since Jen left the airwaves.

Thanks.

They're making a movie about Winnebago Man!

If you remember a few years ago, I was completely obsessed with Winnebago Man. He's the completely miserable guy who filmed an infomercial about campers. During the filming, this guy became more and more irritated. His anger was way over the top in relation to the task at hand. He even started yelling at the flies for getting in his face during filming. What makes this dude's rage even more insane was the fact that he's making this cheezy commercial about campers. The outtakes were later compiled and posted online. Even if you've never seen the video, you've most certainly heard some of the clips played during Music All Morning over the years.

If you want to know what really makes me laugh, this clip is it. I laughed so hard at this clip for months that I had to stop watching it during the show because it became horribly distracting. The problem is, the more you watch it the funnier and funnier it gets.

Well, it looks like someone has now made a documentary film about Winnebago Man. I guess I'm gonna have to keep my subscription to the Sundance Channel in hopes of catching it someday!

For those of you who've never seen the video here it is... (NSFW - lots of F-Bombs, the word "Acoutrama", fly violence and yelling at Tony)

Lost: Thanks, Mom!

So Faraday is the son of Eloise Hawking and Charles Widmore (I called that in February). That means that he and Penny are at least half siblings. Remember, Ben banished Charles from the island because he was carrying on a relationship off of the island.

What a sad story for Faraday. He is raised by his mother to be a brilliant scientist because she knows that he must go to the island... so she can kill him! Eloise knows Faraday's destiny. She remembers being on the island in the 70's and shooting him. After Faraday dies, the events that follow must be so important that she spends the rest of her life making sure that Faraday goes to the island to die. This is the "sacrifice" she talks about after slapping daddy Widmore. It also explains why she is so cold to him and why she discourages him from playing the piano... she doesn't want to get attached to Faraday because it is too painful for her.

The @#$% is going down at camp Dharma. Everything is getting unraveled and the only way to get out of this mess is for everyone to return to their proper time. I believe that Jack and Kate will take Faraday's book of instructions and, possibly with Ellie's help, straighten out time (using the hydrogen bomb!). After the gang zaps back in time, the Others will probably step up their plans for "The Purge".

From all of the chatter this week, I was expecting that some huge things were going to be revealed in this week's episode. I wasn't blown away... but I suspect lots of what happened last night is laying the groundwork for the end of the season and what will ultimately be the direction of the end of the series.

Favorite moments from last night: Faraday outing Miles as Chang's son. Sawyer calling Faraday "twitchy".

As always... let's continue the conversation in the comments section below...

Jesus on Florida license plates

I guess that Jesus fish you put on your bumper isn't enough to let people know that you're holier than they are. Now the state senate in Florida is considering issuing license plates with Jesus on them. Really? Florida? The place where every Jewish grandma from New York currently lives? Before we even bring up the whole debate about separation of church and state... I certainly can't be the only one who thinks putting your savior on a license plate seems a bit sacrilegious anyway.

Well, whatever turns you on... Hey, I'm all for it, just as long as I can have a plate that honors my own religion:

Slap Chop Rap

Nervous about the Swine Flu?

Before you start freaking out, don't believe everything you read in those email forwards from your crazy Aunt! Remember when she said we were all going to die from Bird Flu?

You can't get the swine flu from eating pork, but you can get it from direct contact with pigs (watch out, John Goodman's wife... hey yo!). Here's all of the real information from the CDC.

LIndsay Lohan on Ellen

Does anyone really care about Lindsay Lohan anymore? Lots of people were talking about this interview from yesterday on Ellen, but I don't really know who these people are. I kind of lost interest in Lindsay a long time ago... wait, that's not fair. I wasn't ever really interested in her at all.

Fatty-Fat Friday!

Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!

Shepherd Smith drops F-Bomb on Fox News

Shep is quite animated in this on-air debate. So much so, that he forgets that he's on live TV and drops a pretty passionate F-Bomb. The best part is his reaction afterwards... you can almost hear his inner monologue:

"Did I just say the F-word? Nah, I couldn't have done that... oh crap, I did... I better say something... 'oops' is always good..."

TV news anchor proposes live on the air

This isn't the first time or the second time it's been done. Even a Doogie Howser look alike has done it. That's right... another TV news anchor proposed to his girlfriend live on the air this week. Many people find this trend to be romantic, but I actually think it's pretty arrogant and self serving to do something like this live on the air. Who really cares about your personal love life... shut up and read the news. What about all of those people in Arkansas who want to know what the weather is going to be tomorrow? They have to sit through your cheezy little love speech before finding out the five day forecast? I wonder if we will we all be subjected to their public separation and eventual divorce announcement in 5 years...

Eliot Spitzer spotted on Real Housewives

Some keen viewers over at Gawker spotted Eliot Spitzer in an episode of The Real Housewives Of NYC this week. If you freeze frame, that's clearly him pimpin' on the streets of NYC. Come to think of it, I thought I saw old Spitzy in the background of Lost last week... lookin' for ho's.

Just Google "coachella wizard taser" and I'm sure you'll find it.

Happy Earth Day!


Today is Earth Day so I asked everyone following me on Twitter and Facebook to send suggestions for how to help the environment. I must say, you all have some unique ideas on how to save the planet. I read most of them on the air this morning, here are some of my favorites:


Go bald. You can use the bald spot as a solar panel for a sex machine.

Have Brandi stop using her sexy voice... it's causing global warming. In my pants.

Make sweet, sweet love with the lights turned off.

Drink out of the toilet and pee in the sink.

Buy an acoustic guitar so you do't have to waste energy playing an electric one.

National no clothes day. Save money and energy by not doing laundry!

Do you have one of your own? Comment below...

Is this logo for the church TOO acurate?

Before you start flaming this post, THIS IS A REAL LOGO that was used by the Catholic Church in 1973 for the Archdiocesan Youth Commission. It even won an award from the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles that year.

Seriously.

Former astronaut: "Aliens Exist!"


Edgar Mitchell is a former astronaut. As a part of the Apollo 14 moon mission, you'd think he knows a little more about the mysteries of the universe than anyone else. Yesterday, he held a press conference to tell the world that aliens actually do exist, and that they have been visiting our planet.

I totally believe this story. This guy is a former astronaut, and we know astronauts aren't crazy enough to believe in something that's not true. They're also not crazy enough to put on a diaper and drive from Houston to Florida and try to abduct some dude's girlfriend with rubber tubing and duct tape. Welcome, my alien friends!

What's the Soup Nazi doing now?

One of the most popular characters from Seinfeld was, of course, The Soup Nazi. He was played by character actor, Larry Thomas. I would assume by the hundreds of times I see this episode in syndication each year that Larry makes a bundle in residual checks each month. However, I may be wrong... because the Soup Nazi is now starring in a series of infomercials for log cabins. This opens up a whole new genre of marketing: the "Little known Seinfeld character sell". Gee, maybe the marble rye lady could advertise for power equipment. Babu would be a great spokesperson for frozen TV dinners and I think Banya could sell feminine hygiene products like no one's business!

Check out the video below (and be sure to watch the last few seconds!!!)

"Snakes On A Plane" TV edit is genius!

This week we were talking about the movie "Snakes On A Plane". In Australia a real plane was grounded because real snakes were let loose and the crew were having trouble finding them. After we discussed that story, a few of our listeners sent me this video of the safe-for-TV version of Snakes On A Plane. Fans of the movie know that the most famous scene is when Samuel L. Jackson delivers the line, "I have had it with these mother#$% snakes on this mother#$% plane!". The question is, how do you show the movie on TV without bleeping out this pivotal line? It seems as though the producers anticipated this during the filming, and had Mr. Jackson record an alternate take just for TV. This actually aired on FX...

Disgusting prank gone horribly wrong

Follow Up: Domino's employees arrested!

What did we learn this week? If you're working in a restaurant making food, don't stick the food up your nose or fart on it (and especially don't post a video of you doing it online).


Meet Kristy Lynn Hammonds and Michael Anthony Setzer, the boneheads that filmed themselves doing nasty things to customers' food at Domino's. They have now been arrested for "distributing prohibited foods". Michael was released on $7,500 bond and, because I'm assuming Kristy wasn't able to pawn her collection of NASCAR trading cards in time, she remained in jail until their court appearance. If convicted, Hammonds and Setzer could be sentenced to four months to one year in jail. Domino's has been on top of this from the beginning, responding just a few hours after the video hit and hunting down these two morons within hours. Now, Domino's has even released their own apology video.

What do you think should happen to these two? I say they go to prison and be forced to eat whatever the other prisoners choose to "prepare" for them a month (That's a spicy meatball!). Any other ideas?

Real life Pac-Man

Take a guy in a Pac-Man costume, add 4 people in ghost costumes, let them loose in a grocery store and you've got pure awesomeness. The most impressive part of this video is that it was shot in France. Who knew they had a sense of humor?

Girl stoned on pain medication

This girl is on some major pain medicine that makes her act freaky. Perhaps she's related to the little kid that got all hopped up drugs after the dentist.

I know tomorrow is Fatty-Fat Friday... but I couldn't just sit on this video all day without sharing it with you. Enjoy.

Lost: That douche is my dad

Last night's episode will have to hold us over for two weeks. That shouldn't be a problem, because there's A LOT to digest:

Who are Bram and Illana working for? I assumed they were sent to the island by Widmore... but since Bram kidnapped Miles last night and tried to convince him *not* to get on the freighter and work for Widmore, that can't be true. So, are they working for Ben (If so, they are doing a good job pretending not to know him) or are they working for some third party that likes to use cryptic riddles about statues and shadows?

So that's where the 3.2 million dollar figure came from! Miles was offered 1.6 million by Naomi to go to the island on Widmore's team. When kidnapped by Bram, he agreed to switch teams for double - 3.2 million. Now, let's go back to when we first meet Miles at the end of the last season. After being captured, he asks Ben for the same 3.2 million dollars in exchange for his safety and a promise to tell Widmore that Ben had died. There's got to be something more to Miles' apparent greed.

We all saw Dr. Pierre Chang as Miles' dad coming from a mile away. Pieces of the puzzle are coming together, but we still don't know how Chang lost his arm (in later orientation films, he's shown with a fake arm). My guess is that it gets ripped off during the construction of the Swan. There was a great underlying theme about fathers and sons in this episode. Miles and Dr. Chang, Ben's dad being distressed over his son, Hurley and his dad issues, Luke and Darth Vader... This all goes back to those issues between Jack and his Dad - which I think plays a big part in the story of the island.

Man, can Jack erase a blackboard quick! I was trying to get a glimpse of the Egyptian symbols that were being taught at the school, but after each cutaway another part of the board was already erased. I'll have to go back and watch that scene again in slow motion.

The Swan. We know there is a huge electromagnetic force that's being encased in the Swan. That's apparently how the Dharma worker that Miles transported died... the magnet ripped his filling out and shot it through his brain. Cool!

Welcome back, Daniel Faraday. What are he and the other scientists from Ann Arbour supposed to be doing there? Will Faraday play a big part in the construction of the Swan? We know he later poses as a construction worker at the Swan... could that be the key to getting everyone back in the correct time period?

As usual, we'll continue the discussion in the comments section below!

Domino's workers do disgusting things to food

These workers at Domino's filmed themselves doing nasty things to sandwiches before being sent out to unsuspecting customers. By their accents, it's safe to say that this Domino's is well below the Mason Dixon line. Regardless, this video freaks me out because you KNOW that people are doing s*** like this at restaurants everywhere... they're just not stupid enough to post it to YouTube.



Epilogue: the employees in the video were tracked down and fired. Here's an email from Domino's with a forwarded apology from the girl in the video.

Happy Tax Day!

NASA wimps out and names space station "Tranquility"

Recently , NASA held an online vote for the name of the new node on the international space station. You could chose from any of the pre selected names, or write in your own vote. Well, Stephen Colbert had his fans flood the website, and he wound up winning the vote. The folks at NASA weren't amused, and refused to name the node after Colbert. After some on-air needling NASA agreed to name a treadmill after Colbert, it's now called the 'Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill,' or COLBERT. Full explanation from NASA

10 years after Columbine, the truth comes out

Believe it or not, it's been 10 years since the Columbine tragedy. In the months following, we learned that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were members of a fringe gang called the "Trench Coat Mafia". Actually, that's not true. We were also told that the reason for the massacre was the duo's outrage over years of being picked on by jocks and popular kids. Also, that's not true at all. In fact, the kids that did this could have easily been the quarterback, the drama student, the prom king or some math geek. So what was their motivation? They were insane. Here's an article from USA Today that sorts through the facts.

Guy grows a tree in his lung!

This guy in Russia went to the doctors complaining about chest pain. After an x-ray the doctors found a tumor and proceded to remove it. What they found wasn't a tumor, but a 5 cemtimeter fir tree growing in the guy's lung! The tree was too big to have been inhaled, so they are assuming he somehow got a seed stuck in his lung and the freakin' tree grew on it's own! Theres a very gross picture of the tree in the link.

Boob grab at the Masters

I tried to watch The Masters over the weekend, but golf on TV has the same effect for me as taking 2 Benadryl's; I'm out like a light within 5 minutes. I guess I missed some dude grabbing his lady's boob on national TV...

Paula Deen is the devil

I can watch the Food Network all day long. It doesn't matter what the show is... Alton Brown making gravy, chefs competing to make the biggest rice krispie treat, even The Neelys. But there's one show that I can't watch: Paula Deen. I don't know what it is, but that crazy lady makes me ill. It could be her annoying voice, fake laugh, the fact that she touches all of the food with her gross hands and keeps licking her fingers or perhaps it's those gotta-be-in-the-closet sons of hers. Whatever it is, I can't watch her. It's a good thing, too, because this recipe for deep fried mac-n-cheese wrapped in bacon is proof that she's trying to kill her audience.

The troops are having a blast here


Glad he still has a sense of humor!

The most violent safety video ever

Did you ever have to sit through an instructional video at your job? They're usually poorly produced, horribly acted and extremely boring. This video, however, is AWESOME! I guess the purpose is to show how easy it is go hurt yourself on the job. It's filled with fingers getting ripped off, nails in eyes and bodies falling from ladders getting impailed on things. I would NOT want to work at this death factory!

Woman decides to swim with polar bears at the zoo

I have no idea what this woman was thinking. This weekend she decided to get closer to the polar bears at the zoo by jumpping over the fence and swimming closer to them. She realized this wasn't the best idea when the bears started biting and clawing her. The idiot eventually swam away as a crowd of people tried their best to rescue her. Luckily, it was all caught on tape.

What makes the video even better is that it's all in German! And kudos to the genius who throws in a life preserver at the end. Like that's going to do anything!

The lamb cake

As I mentioned on the air last week, we have a tradition in our family of having a lamb cake after each Easter dinner. No, it's not cake made from real lamb, it's a pound cake that is baked in a mold to look like a lamb. I'm sure it has some sort of symbolism, but as far back as I can remember our family just chops up this poor little lamb each year for dessert. Most years, the lamb is decorated with shaved coconut in an effort to look like a real lamb, but it actually resembles some sort of dog like creature. This year, I decided to go with chocolate. And, in hopes of freaking everyone out, I filled it with raspberry jelly so the lamb would look like it's bleeding when it was cut open. Hey, if I have to be a part of this tradition by baking some strange animal shaped cake I might as well make it memorable!

Billy Bob Thornton's awkward interview

Billy Bob Thornton goes all "Joaquin Pheonix" on a radio host in this extremely awkward interview.

Lost: Smokey lives in a toilet?

What an excellent episode last night, even if the smoke monster looked pretty cheezy. Let's do the numbered-for-no-apparent-reason rundown again:

1 - Is Locke now the smoke monster? Locke disappears, the smoke monster appears. Lock appears, the smoke monster disappears. Kind of like Clark Kent. Is it possible that Locke, Christian Shepard, Claire and Kate's horse are all actually the smoke monster? Is the monster taking some sort of human form to help lead the living in protecting the island? I really hope the smoke monster is explained a little better in the future. Why did it kill the pilot? What did Locke see in the monster way back in season 1 that made him a believer in the island?

2 - See ya, Caesar! Hey, at least you didn't get bitten by some rare spider that paralyzes you!

3 - "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" Wha? So I'm thinking that these people didn't just happen to be on the plane with Jack and company. They're on the island for a reason, and they've got a big metal box to prove it. Are they sent by Widmore or do they have a different purpose? The way they were preparing to carry it with the long bamboo sticks kind of made it look like a sarcophagus or ark. Could the statue they're talking about in their code phrase be the 4-toed Egyptian statue? If it is, we know that the well lies in the shadow of that statue... you know, the well where the giant wheel is buried!

4 - We now know why Widmore was banished from the island. He was getting it on with Ellie off-island and had a kid (Penny or Faraday?). But was he really tricked somehow by Ben? In a past episode Widmore talks about how he was exiled from the island and it was Ben's fault. Was Ben protecting Alex by banishing Widmore and keeping the island hidden?

5 - Ethan pops up next to Ben during their mission to kill Rousseau. According to past episodes, Alex was kidnapped before the purge happened. So Ben and Ethan are still living with the Dharma Initiative and sneaking out to see the Others for secret missions? Richard told Ben that he could still be one of them without living among them.

6 - Ben tells Sun that "dead is dead, even on the island". Ben also told Locke that he knew that he would come back to life, that's why he murdered him. So who is he telling the truth to? Is it a little of both? Was Ben hoping Locke would come back to life, but wasn't quite sure? And (back to #1) Is Locke really dead?

There's lots more to talk about, like why Desmond didn't die and what's up with those whispers? Let's continue this in the comments section, I have a show to do!

Now we know why Kutner killed himself

This week we were talking about the shocking suicide of Kal Penn's character, Kutner, on House. Even House couldn't make sense of why Kutner would shoot himself. Well, we now have an answer. Kal Penn has taken a job as liason for the president. That's right, Kumar has gone from the White Castle to The White House.

Lady's love for tofu... or something dirty?

A lady in Colorado is not going to get the vanity license plate she wanted.

Kelley Coffman-Lee is vegan and loves tofu. She loves tofu so much, that she wanted to share the sentiment with the world with a vanity license plate that reads I LV TOFU.

Here's the problem. The dirty minds at the DMV think her license plate really reads I LV TO FU. Big difference there.

Here's the full story

It's called "Midgets vs Mascots". Unfortunately, the title pretty much sums up the plot of the movie. Here's the trailer:

Jimmy Fallon gets kicked out of a pizza joint

If this is some publicity stunt to get people to watch his show, I take back everything bad I've ever said about Jimmy Fallon...

out of pity.

This weekend, Fallon and his family were at Posto in NYC. He claims that the owner kicked him out because of some nasty comments he made about the pizza place in a magazine. The best part is that he Twittered the whole thing. That's right, as he was getting kicked out he was texting to Twitter. Later, Fallon asks his fan(s) to boycott the restaurant, then he wusses out and takes it back.

I don't get it. I've said nasty things about places, but only because they deserved it... And I most certainly wouldn't bring my whole family back to these places if they were bad enough to complain about in the first place! There's probably 98,ooo pizza places in New York, so why go here? And if you're gonna get pissed off because some idiot kicks you out of a restaurant for no good reason, at least stick to your guns and don't wuss out and apologize. The story has a happy ending, though; I kind of forgot that Fallon had a TV show until I read about this... so good job I guess.

Read the whole Twitter rundown here

We're bribing you to listen!


So, it's come to this? We're now paying you $100 to listen to our crappy show. And, we'll even throw in a trip for 8 to see The Dave Matthews Band with round-trip limo transportation. Just listen to our show, dammit! Here are the details.

Spontaneous dancing at train station

Belgium is a magical place. Everything is covered in cheese or chocolate, you can buy beer out of a vending machine on the street and people break into song and dance for no reason. Actually, this video is a take-off of the improve anywhere guys from NY who create random "happenings" all over the city. What would you do if everyone at a busy train station suddenly burst into a song from The Sound Of Music?

Visit from the CIA

Ryne, who works over at the Apple Pie Bakery was very nice to stop by the studio this morning and bring us some marshmallow eggs. These are real egg shells, that are emptied, sanitized and filled with amazing marshmallow concoctions. Get over to the Culinary Institute of America and visit the Apple Pie Bakery to see what else they've got for Easter. This is some of the best food that's being made in the entire country - right in our own backyard... take advantage of it!

Marc Ballas REALLY likes dancing


I don't watch Dancing With The Stars, but I do know that contestant Shawn Johnson is only 17. So I won't comment any further on how excited her dancing partner, Marc Ballas, is to be doing the cha-cha-cha with her.

The Bruno trailer is here

Don't watch this at work. The red band warning at the beginning of the trailer means it's for mature audiences only. (That means there are dildos)

April Fools prank pulled on TV station

Some lame TV news show was pranked by its viewers yesterday. During their birthday segment the anchors were tricked into saying names like Dixie Normous, Emmerson Bigguns, Gabe Asher, Craven Morehead, Mike H... well, you get the idea. Come on, TV guys! If two idiots like Brandi and I can filter out the fake birthday names every morning, I'm sure there's someone on your staff that could figure it out too!

Just in time for Easter: a bunny with two noses


Best April Fools prank this year goes to Trent Reznor

Trent Reznor released a new album online yesterday that was produced by Timbaland. Luckily, it was just an elaborate hoax. Not bad, Trent... way to pull one over on us AND make fun of Chris Cornell at the same time!

Now you can sleep soundly and warm, even if you happen to be on the ice planet of Hoth. I love this tauntaun sleeping bag, complete with printed entrails on the lining. Get your own here.

Lost: Ben WAS born on the island!

Finally, we get a piece of the puzzle that makes some sense of what's going on! As the title of the show suggests "Everything that happened, happened." Hurley and Miles' conversation finally puts that into focus. The future has already happened, anything they try to do in the past to change things just won't work. And just when you think you're doing things to change the future (Sayid shooting Ben, Douche... er, Jack refusing to operate on Ben) you're actually doing what's necessary to make the future happen the way it's supposed to.

As I said last week, Ben needed to be shot by Sayid. This way, he could be brought to Richard Alpert to be "reborn". Remember back a few seasons Ben claimed to be born on the island. We later found out he was actually born in Portland and just assumed he was a liar. Now we know he was really telling the truth. And we now know why he was able to kill his father and wipe out the Dharma Initiative; because when you're re-born you lose your innocence and aren't quite the same (much like Pet Cemetery). I'm guessing that this is what also happened to Claire, Christian Shepard and Locke. The smoke monster that lives in that creepy temple has something to do with giving life and taking it away.

Quick observations and 1 awesome new theory:

1 - Wouldn't it be creepy if Kate and Ben's dad got together? I don't think it'll happen, but there seemed to be some chemistry there.

2 - Kate's motivation to come back to the island finally makes sense; she wants to bring back Claire. It looks like Sawyer and Juliette are going to stay together and somehow Kate and Jack will get back together once Jack gets off his period.

3 - Am I the only one who thought for a second that Claire was kidnapping Aaron at the supermarket? The fact that she looked like Claire made Kate realize that she's got to reunite Aaron and his real mom.

4 - So Richard is running things for the Others along with Ellie and Charles Widmore. It also seems like there is a bit of a power struggle there. Richard claims he doesn't answer to them. I wonder if we'll see young Penny and Faraday playing out in the jungle with mom and dad?

5 - Why is no one questioning why the mechanic lady is operating on a little boy?

6 - And finally, I'm making a bold prediction: The Dharma doctor is Christian Shepard! He's out at the Looking Glass station all week and can't make it back to operate on a kid? That explains why he was reborn when he returned to the island in a casket (just like Locke). Jack's gonna freak when his dad shows up!

My last post ever

After 14 years of broadcasting on WRRV I'm sorry to s...

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! April Fools! Wasn't that funny? I made you think that I got fired. Radio DJ's have been pulling that prank for years and now I did it... sweet!

What an awesome prank! I get to passive-aggresively let management think about what would happen if I quit AND I get to boost my ego by having people tell me how sad they are that I'm leaving! Pheww boy!...

Uh, what? Management was thinking of canning me anyway because of the recession and this will just make the actual firing next week more awkward? And we only got 2 emails from listeners? And both of them were in favor of having Shmonty do the morning show? Is this an April Fools prank on me?




No?... I see. Well, here's some other pranks that were actually funny.
