Well, well, well. We have but three days left until that merry day when no-one trusts anyone - even moreso than usual - for fear of looking quite the fool.
No doubt there'll be a dozen tedious threads on these here forums regarding HL3 or some such gubbins; the legalisation of heroin in Utah; homosexuality and liberalism being put down to low IQs; the moon spiralling ever closer to our planet; whatever.

However, I was wondering what tricks people have pulled off in the past?
 
Well, I haven’t pulled any tricks on anyone else, as far as I know.
But I remember my granddad, turning all of the furniture in my family’s house upside down! :P lol

Everything, like the sofa, chairs etc...all except the beds :P
 
Nothing ever, never will.
For what reason should i play a trick on people because it is april the 1st?
 
Once my ski blades fell over at night and a lope-prepare-tank (dunno what that's called :D) drover over it. That was very sad ;(

...and a few days later, I had new blades, my father came to me and said something like "Oh noes, your blades are broken again!" - well, for a second I was shocked... but then realized the date being april 1st.

Not that spectacular, but the only thing I can remember right now :)

I really want to recreate one of my flatmates rooms perfectly, except out in our garden. It'd be very very very funny.

A couple of years ago I convinced my best friend I'd been expelled, which was funny for me. But no-one else. So, in short, I have no reason to share that with the class. Ithangyow.

No, not really, but it'd still be funny. But too much effort.
 
I suggest giving any ideas a miss, most tricks are just a nuisance.......why bother doing it?
 
I believe PlanetHalfLife created a page titled "HL2" back in 2001's April Fools :p
 
So one time, my ex-girlfriend comes up to me at school and says "Stephen....I'm pregnant." Least funny April Fool's day joke ever.

Did she become ex very soon after that wee "joke"?
 
I advise a sense of decency too... Don't tell someone a loved one has had an accident, it's just low and not funny.

Let's just hope there's no more mid-ocean earthquakes on April the First.

"Hey mate, there's a tsunami coming, run for the hills!!"

"haha verry funny!!"

"dude..."

How did you react to that? :laugh:
 
One time I told people that I lost my leg in a car accident.

Oh wait, that wasn't even April Fool's. That was just me being a dick. Forget about it.

Sig'd!
 
Ah, that reminds me of a ap's fool dude in my class received...

...on the ride to a vacation (without his gf) he gets a message from her on his mobile "I'm pregnant and I'm leaving you" - and he couldn't call back or so :D oh, how destroyed he was!

No, she dumped him for the person she was cheating on him with.
 
Pressure, upside-down avatar week ended... Well weeks ago ;)
 
If he leaves it a few more days it'll be an April fools joke..

Well some of us are just too lazy, alright? :p

My favourite prank I ever pulled was so simple, yet so effective. Lift the lid to the toilet seat and put saran-wrap around the bowl, covering the opening.
Sit back and wait for someone to use the bathroom. Enjoy the screams of agony and humility.
 
Glad wrap over toilet seats/doorways are always fun. I saw a video of someone who put glad wrap over thier entire doorway and pretended to be seriously hurt, his friend rushed into the scene but smahsed against the glad wrap :laugh:

When you piss on glad wrap over a toilet, it flies everywhere since it bounces off the plastic.
 
Ahahahaha!! Oh man, I have to try that someday. Haha.

One other memorable one I pulled was a couple of years back. I have this friend who used to be a huge Britney Spears fan, and subsequently she was quite slow...
Anyway, I created the world's best fake concert tickets and gave them to her on April Fool's, which sort of made sense because her birthday is March 29th. She was so excited to be going to the concert on April 31st.

Took her a couple of weeks to figure out why she couldn't figure out what day of the week she would be going on. :)
 
"April fools" in French is "Poison d'avril" which means literaly "Fish of April" so a few people in my French class always say "April fish" when they prank people.

Yeah, isn't there a tradition where ze French try and attach plastic fish to one another? Or have I just invented a new tradition altogether?
I do hope so :)
 
I'm glad ya'll are all so compassionate about that horrible joke that was played on me.

How did I react to it? I ****ing freaked out that's how I reacted to it!

After she said "April Fools!" with a horrible shit-eating grin on her face, it took all the strength I had to not knock all the teeth out of her mouth with my boot. Grrr.
 
Instead of moving the stuff in the garden, get some ultra strong super-glue, and stick the furniture to the ceiling. even the stuff on tables etc.

also, because it will never come off again, glue your feet to the roof.
 
I´m going to tell everyone that my trip to Andorra was made up...

Oh wait.

(This computer time is expensive...)
