    April Fools is coming up. Anyone got any plans? I was thinking of inviting people over to play on my new PS3 but then reveal that I do not have a PS3.

    Bah, well now that you've broadcast it I can't do it can I :(

    Me and my mates just got lazy one year and went on the beer. Twas a Happy April Fools Day indeed.

    Who is this Saint Fool anyway? I thought special days were only allowed for saints.. and mothers.

    One time I showed up at work without my glasses and told everyone I had gotten contact lenses. Then later on in the day I pretended to lose a contact lens and demanded that everyone help me look for it.

    Sure it meant banging into things a lot during the day, but it was worth it.

    The best one was in the 60s when the Irish Times's second leader was about Sean T bringing in Prohibition. The screams could be heard from one end of the country to the other.

    One time I was in my girlfriends house and her friend was coming over so we plotted an april fools - I went out the back with a balaclava and a huge knife and pretended to be a burglar breaking into her kitchen, it was so funny she was screaming the house down.

    Have told parents that I was joining a reliogious group. Made them believe I was in a cult. So then when I told the truth April 2nd it didn't matter whether or not i'd be going to mass that sunday:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    Duct tape + lots of old news paper + bin bags.

    i plan on cutting up the bags and covering one of my flatmates doors, scrunching up the flats giant newspaper pile and filling the cavity between the door and the bags, thus causing a big mess.
    :D

    What about the old trusty April fools warhorse that is...

    "Your shoelace is open"

    :)

    I tend to make prank phone calls to friends, telling them their holiday has been cancelled because their tour operator has gone bust or similar.

    Nothing stupid about a bit of random vandalism every once in a while. Give it a whirl. Start small and throw paint on cars at first cos that doesn't make any noise. You can then progress up to knifing tires etc.

    1.Go get yourself a screwdriver or two (one Philips one flat headed)

    2.visit your friends

    3. proceeded to remove the face plate on the door handle

    4. remove the steel bar between the two handles

    5. replace the face plate

    Get a friend, and organize to scare the sh*t out of the local morgue keeper.
    Get the friend to climb into a body bag and lie on a morgue drawer, as still as can be, and of course, push the drawer back in. Your friend will lie there, quiet as a mouse waiting to hear the approaching footsteps so he can leap up and scare the morgue man.
    However, unbeknownst to him, you have actually padlocked and glued the body bag shut and left it lying on a trolly marked "bio-hazard :for incineration"

    Thats an April fools day joke he wont forget. Ho ho ho.

    I was going to get a tattoo on my back saying "I Love [my girlfriends name] to death!" then have a little scull and cross bones underneath it and tell her I was really drunk when I got it done and convince her to get a tattoo of my name on her....then, when she does..APRIL FOOLS!! Haha, my one is fake ya big knob!!

    Only problem is henna tattoos look crap so she's never believe it... :(

    So this year I'm just gonna cover the kitchen floor in sheeps blood again and lie montionless on the ground when she comes in....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 269 ✭✭nicolo


    ok the only way to really do the cling film on the toilet is at night, you have to switch the build with a dead one.
    you can also cling film over someones door in the night make sure their phones outside of their room, turn off the power in the house so they cant turn on the light and start ringing their phone.
    my personal favorite is to block someone into their room at night by gluing or skewring tonnes of toast together, very difficult and you have to have a friend whos a light sleeper.
    this year im leaving a small note for my girlfriend informing her i've run off to london to "find myself" and that she can have my stuff, i'll take all my clothes/jacket bag etc. might hide in the wardrobe for a bit too see what she thinks hahahaha.
