What do you imagine the outcome was of the all-time most successful short-sheeting of somebody’s bed? The victim sustained an ankle injury or stubbed a toe and shouted, “fuck me!” Brought a potential lover back to bed for the first time only to discover the prank the hard way? How many times a month worldwide do you think people short-sheet beds? I bet it’s fairly common for zero attempts to take place on any given night of the year-except during the summer when camper tomfoolery runs rampant. I think it’s time for a new prank of similarly harmless proportions, something to reinvigorate mischief seekers worldwide. Perhaps a fitted sheet that is sewn ever so slightly too small to fit on a given mattress so that when you try to put it on the most you can ever secure are three corners and the fourth corner gets tantalizingly close to fitting but it’s designed in such a way that just when you pull hard enough to get that forth corner, one of the other corners comes off. Maybe I need to think outside of the linens box. How about trick shampoo? Think trick candles, only this shampoo just won’t come out of your hair when you wash it. The only way to get it out is to rinse with counteractive trick conditioner, which the prank artist may or may not be kind enough to make readily available to you. Perhaps a talking trick aerosol air freshener can that is activated by pressing down the button. Instead of scent-neutralizing spray coming out a very loud recording of a siren sounds and then a voice repeatedly yells, “Somebody just blew up the bathroom!” That might embarrass a houseguest or two. You’re right though; these are all gag-items not pranks per se. Only after you’ve spent five minutes casually trying to think of a short-sheeting like prank that is equally as harmless and aggravating do you fully appreciate its genius. Light bulbs in pillowcases?

It’s so cold out that I’m wearing thermal underwear bottoms/long johns/long underwear depending on how you were raised. I associate long underwear with skiing. Maybe I’ll get grilled cheese and hot chocolate for lunch today and recreate the entire lodge experience.

I know there was public outcry over the movie ‘The Program’ when one of the football players lied down in the middle of a busy interstate because later some idiotic kids tried to do the same and ended up getting killed. I’m curious, was there similar uproar to the tongue on the pole scene from ‘A Christmas Story’? In some ways I think that would be even more painful. I don’t see networks playing The Program every holiday season though? That’s messed up.

What’s not messed up is a holiday shortened (work) week. Yee-haw.
