??? I hate to break it to you but Itachi didn't come up with those Chuck Norris jokes... He lives them. If you decrypt "itachi-san" using the Keyword "roundhouse" you get Chuck Norris. (at least in BrainDen )

Hey everyone, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but carlosn27 will no longer be with us. His last post... ...Was read by Chuck Norris. And last night, well, to put it delicately.... carlosn27 was the reason that Chuck Norris flushed 7 times this morning.

Have you read all the previous posts?

Andrell&Hector, Origin-Ep.3 As Andrell began to take his turn rowing the boat he looked out into the distance at Epsilon 4. He could finally make out the shoreline of the approaching island! He could even almost make out individual trees from this distance, so he knew that he was nearly a mile away. In fact, he thought he just might be able to make out a couple figures on the shore! “There’s no way there could be anyone else” he thought. Just then his feet felt cool and wet. Andrell looked down and saw that the ashy shell of the hollowed tree was compromised. Though his canoe had been easier to hollow out because of the burning, he failed to predict the susceptibility of the weakened wood to water erosion. So he planted his foot over the hole and tried to continue paddling. However, the pressure from his foot fractured the hole and made it larger! Now they were sinking fast, and Hector knew that Andrell was not a good swimmer. So it was up to him to swim both of them nearly a mile to the shore of Epsilon 4. Hector abandoned the canoe and with a death-grip he took the oar with him as a pathetic flotation device (it wasn’t nearly enough to keep him afloat, let alone Andrell.) Even though Hector rolled over to his back and kicked for what seemed to be an eternity, he had never swam such a distance before. Eventually his strength began to fail him as he could no longer keep afloat…. and they were so close….

Sorry, I wasn't trying to point out the "tropical" point... I was trying to point out the blatant "small islands" part of the OP. But now that you mention the "technology too advanced for this game." Wasn't the steam engine used in a boat before it was used in a train?... yeah

Kiwi, Kiwi

Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas to bed Chuck Norris does not retaliate if his opponent strikes him first (not that this would ever happen). Chuck Norris just turns his head and offers the other cheek, thereby decapitating the opponent with his beard. Chuck Norris knows only one language, and he doesn't need to learn any others no matter what country he is in, because "roundhouse" is universally understood. Chuck Norris once ate three Viagra and walked across Times Square naked.... there were no survivors.

Isn't this a tropical sea filled with small islands? Plus, if there were no planes, wouldn't the same apply to trains and cars?... just a thought. Otherwise, forget the raft, I'm gonna sail my billion dollar yacht around epsilon while drinking champagne and listening to illegally downloaded MP3s. Lucky for me the monks decided to make it for me.

We can all agree that it was a bad idea for someone to go Nil in the first place if holding the king-S. However, in the given situation, the job of the non-nil person is to always start by throwing high on every suit to give the nil-partner a chance to clear the high cards. The Nil setup was a bad idea when holding a K-S, because the partner couldn't know that was what they were holding. But above all else, a decent player's job is to sacrifice their best cards up front for the greater good of the team, which did not happen in this case. Btw, I have always played that a person going Nil gets to trade 1 card with their partner, and a person going Blind Nil gets to trade 2. Did you play that rule?

Having not looked at the other posts yet, I wanted to point something out. I don't think there is a three letter word that has the same two first letters... is there? Also, is there some sort of significance to "Mcb" being capitalized? and one more question (probably should have asked first) Are these letters just substituted for other letters?

Unlike his sibling Andrell, Hector had a very good memory. He remembered the days before the fire on Epsilon 3, he was a happy young man. Except for the torturous bullying from another Epsilonian named Brock. There were three Epsilonians that Hector knew of (including himself) before the fire. Brock, the one that bullied him (the one that died in the fire), was the sole source of unhappiness in Hector's life. Perhaps it was some divine intervention that caused the fire to take Brock's life in his sleep? It must have been, because Hector had no idea how the fire started. The other Epsilonian, Quincy, was always very nice to Hector. It was strange, but Hector had no recollection of having met his sibling Andrell prior to the fire that took the life of that bully. But Hector knew him to be his sibling, Andrell and Hector looked exactly alike and talked alike, their only difference is that they had thoughts and views of the world very different from each other. In fact, Quincy (the one they had cannibalized), never knew the difference between them either. Actually, before his death, Quincy had never even talked to Andrell.... Finally, Hector and Andrell looked down at the small canoe they had finished hollowing out. It was a strange incidence of mixed fortune. Even though they constantly alternated shifts working on the tree, it had taken them twice as long as expected to hollow it out. But on the flip side, the "food" had lasted twice as long as expected between the two of them. So with just enough "food" remaining to make the trip to Epsilon 4, Hector and Andrell hopped into the canoe and headed away from the shore of Epsilon 3. They had only made one ore, so they alternated turns, while one rested the other would row them closer to the next shore. It was perfect weather for the voyage, very smooth waters and a cool breeze. As Hector took his break, he looked over the edge of the canoe into the water. He couldn't see anything, then his eyes focused on the reflection in the water, and he saw Andrell's demonic little smile looking back at him.

Delightful

Hmm I like that idea... y not change the destination of the shortcuts? Same icon, same text, but change the program that opens. It takes more effort, but it would really mess someone up!

Excellent , I gotta write that one down.

Andrell believes himself to have been a happy young man at one point. However, he had no memory dating back more than a few days. His earliest memory was of a fire that consumed the island of Epsilon 3 on which he lived. There were Four (including himself) that lived on the island. Though afterwards, once all the plants and wildlife were desecrated, only Andrell, his sibling, and another epsilonian were remaining. They spent days walking the island, looking for something, anything for sustenance, but to no avail. The only things they were able to find were the easily carved half-burned trees, and the two islands that were observable from the shore. On one side of Epsilon 3, easily visible but well beyond swimming distance, was Epsilon 2 which appeared to be a wasteland. There were no trees to be observed, only distant echoes of animalistic sounds, and a strange glow the could only be seen at night, like the whole island was on fire. The island on the other side (Epsilon 4) was green, but it was too far away to tell anything else. However, green is good, Andrell knew that it means life, and food, were plentiful there. So that was it, the three began to do the only thing they could with the resources they had. They picked a few heavy shells from the ocean, and began to carve down a few of the trees. The problem was, at the rate that it took to cut down a tree (even half burned) with seashell, it would take weeks to create something that could be used to cross the waters. So with failing strength and a deep uncontrollable hunger, one night the siblings resorted to cannibalize the third Epsilonian. They didn't want to at first, but it was necessary. Though Andrell didn't seem to mind much, in fact, he seemed to enjoy it. With renewed strength and a short supply of "food" remaining, the two continued their work on hollowing out the tree which was large enough to seat only themselves, in a last-ditch effort to make it across the waters to Epsilon 4.

I like the South Park episode about it. I've never played it, but South Park always speaks the truth so I have a good grasp of what it's all about.

When I was younger I loved these little round hard candies that had a layer of horribly horribly sour candy on the outside and nothing but sweetness underneath, then a sour juicy center. They were called Warheads, and after 3-4 in a row my tongue would be raw because the outer coating of the candy was so corrosive. But these days I just lean towards Godiva. Anything Hazelnut. Oh, and the chocolate covered shredded coconut that LIS was talking about (bounty?), those are called Hay Stacks in the US.

Heck yeah Martini! That's what I'm talkin about! Get everyone in on the action! LOL, I love the one about Glen, the fake scratch-offs work every time. But I've never heard of one built up so well! Ok, I have one from an April fools day several years ago. I was in the 2nd semester at a University, in which I roomed in an all male dormitory. It sucked for obvious reasons, but it had its perks too. Anyways, sometime during the first semester I figured out how to lock a sliding (not the unlockable-from-the-outside turning kind) latch on a bathroom stall from the outside in seconds. I knew what I had to do. I told two of my friends, one of them like Glen, who once it came down to it he bailed on me. The other guy, who was much more truthworthy, stayed up till 5am with me to start the show. It was a weeknight, maybe a Tuesday, so no one stayed up too late. Unfortunately, as soon as we headed out into the halls at 5:00am, the football team started coming out of their rooms for an early practice. So we had to wait until 5:30am. At this point I was glad to have a lookout, because no one was awake, but it was getting close to the time for the morning runners to wake up. So we started. Four floors, three or four bathrooms per floor, four stalls per bathroom, no elevators. My friend stood at the door as I went inside and locked every stall. We were in and out of most within 30. A few of them had the latches stuck, so we would switch roles and my friend (who was very small in stature) would slide under the door and lock it from the inside. 30minutes later we were done, so now the fun began. We waited till 7:30 for the people with the 8:00 classes to get up to take their traditional morning dumps... What a panic! Yelling, Banging, screaming I retreated to the building entrance, where I stood and smoked while listening to my peers exit the building and trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I heard people say that they were sliding under the doors to get in, I heard a fat guy with an injured leg say that he went into a panic, and almost $h*t himself when had to go back to his room, grab a crutch, go back to the stall and to try and put it over the top of the door and knock the latch over... and of course, some people would come over and smoke with me, and no less than two guys said "yeah, I just $h*t in the urinal." and one said he did it in the sink! WTF! . Strange thing is, of the ones that actually talked about what happened, no one realized that it was April fool's day until I brought it up to a few of them. It was sweet because they all thought that it was just their bathroom that had the problem, except for a few that ran around in a panic and checked the stalls on two different floors. They never did find out who did it, good thing too, because not only was I in the athletic dorm (I would have had my @$$ beaten) but the RD (head of the dorm) was going to have the person who did it suspended from the college. Ok, just in case you were wondering... Take a length of string (about a foot long) and hang it over the knob on the latch. Take the two ends of the string and bend them around the side of the stall door, then close the stall door. Pull both ends of the string to pull the latch over, then let go of one end and pull the other to retrieve the string. *This does not work with the turning latches that have the ability to unlock from the outside.

Sure, it's not April, so I'm not asking for just April fools day jokes you have played. This is a place to confess the stories of the best pranks you have pulled on people. Be they funny, scary, or disgusting. From your own experiences, give the rest of us a few bad ideas that we may play on our friends. Or just some pointers on how to avoid the ones that went wrong!
