Well as you all know tomorrow is April Fool's Day.* I'm also going on a field trip to the museum tomorrow and I just need to pull a prank on someone while there.* I can't come up with anything though, suggestions please?

I can't spell. :(

Hmmm, I can't think of any pranks to pull on a field trip but I do know a good one to pull at home.

If your kitchen sink has a fawcet nozzle, put a rubberband around it. Aim the nozzle so that it's facing the next person who uses the sink. When they turn on the water, BAM, the water hits them. It's hilarious.

Ask them if their refrigerator is running. When they say, "yes," tell them they better catch it. That one never fails. Otherwise you could pretend to steal an item from the museum. :devil:

pretend you're a religious freak and go up to all the little kids and tell them, "those aren't really dinosaurs, those are jesus-horses"...

J'adore cet trick! C'est Horreuble! En Francaise c'est poisson jouer! C'est vrai!!! et bon! :lol2:

My brother does that trick every year and my poor dad falls for it every year :laugh:

I should to that nozzle trick at work! It would be great....If I did it here, I'd spray myself!

What the hell ? :lol2:

Something about a horrible trick!

What the hell ?* :lol2:


my french is a little rusty but i believe it says: i love the trick. it's horrible. in french, it's fish play. it's true. and good...

not sure what fish play is, but "poisson" is fish, and "jouer" is to play...

Geez your french is really rusty :D

i love the trick => J'aime cette farce* *=> trick = tour (like a magic trick = tour de magie)* farce is french for "prank" but on april fool's day in France you will make "farces" not "tours"

it's horrible => C'est horrible (why do Americans always want to complicate french words when they are the same as in English ? :D )

in french => En francais

* it's fish play => such a sentence is an idiom, and cannot be translated per se into French, since French uses intransitive verbs, to translate that into French you need to modify the sentence
it's fish play => it is to play fish => c'est jouer au poisson, or alternately => it is the play of the fish => c'est le jeu du poisson
although i really don't see where you came with the fish thing

in France we call it "Poisson d'avril" => April's fish
when we make a prank, we usually give closure to our victims by saying "poisson d'avril"

For example, imagine JJ posting here saying that Lost was cancelled by ABC
and later on that day (1st april) he would come and post "Poisson d'avril" to let us now it was just a joke
that's how it's done, but there is no "fish play" :D

we have also a tradition of taping paper fishes on the back of people (like you would tape a "kick me sign" on someone)


voila, j'espere que ca raffraichira un peu tes souvenirs. Meme si ton francais est un peu rouillé, cela ne coute rien de continuer a essayer de le pratiquer

Geez your french is really rusty :D


were you referring to me or the poster who initially posted in french? 'cause i translated into english the same thing you did

pretend you're a religious freak and go up to all the little kids and tell them, "those aren't really dinosaurs, those are jesus-horses"...


First, love your avatar. hehehe

Second, that Weekly Update on SNL was hilarious. Especially since I live in Georgia. *sigh*

*skips over all the frenchiness*

Blecky, i hate france and things to do with france. Blecky surrenders... they make waving white flags an artform! :P

i won't take any offence with that, although i'm French :D

we have an inside joke in France

- How many gears does the new Leclercq tank have ?
- 1 forward and 18 reverse


well anyway France do suck big time, mostly because of our political leaders, but French people are not so different from US people, we all want the same thing in life, a nice house, a good paying job, and a lost episode on wednesdays :D

and actually, just to send the joke back, you'd be pretty happy to see us coming with all our white flags, you could use them as handkerchiefs, after all you had to re-ekect Bush, come on blow your nose and wipe your tears :D

thanks, lostfan... yeah, i laughed pretty hard at that joke on WU... that one, and the line about using walnuts for fuel instead of gasoline, what with how much walnuts cost, and how the next thing they should use would be bald eagle heads and fabrege eggs :lol2: i tend to adopt a lot of lines from my favorite shows and incorporate them into my everyday verbiage :)

Must-go-put-rubberband-on-nozzle-now. (I'm surprised I didn't do it this morning)

I live by myself. The rubberband-nozzle thing probably wouldn't be a good idea. ;)
