the prank to punk them all
what a little micheif maker i am! I pranked John MacDonald so bad!!
So, basically, yesterday, i caught up with Jen Eliot, who was trying to get a school letterhead to play a prank on Jackie Phillips. Mrs. Billheimer refused to give us an actual letterhead, but slyly told us to photocopy a school letter and use the header/footer instead. Then we saw Mrs. Sears and got official school envelopes saying that they were for "teacher recomendations".
So I decided that John MacDonald needed a little pranking. It is, of course, April Fool's Day.
Anyway, last night it took me a million tries to get a decent photocopy that had both the header AND footer (the footer kept getting cut off for some reason). After printing out several copies (and spending another 20 minutes at my copier) I got to work writing the actual letter. I had to print out several decoys to make sure I got the spacing correct and then I put my amazing imagination to work.
Basically, the letter went: Dear John MacDonald, we are sorry to inform you that your status as a graduating senior may be in jeopardy. As you know, each senior in the class of 2008 needs 22 credits to successfully graduate. However, it has come to the attention of the Senior Review Board that you are currently missing 1/2 of the required technology credit. This credit MUST be obtained to walk across the stage with your peers on June 6th.
There are two options for obtaining this credit: Twilight School (a parent must be present at registration) and Summer School. Please note that the registration for Summer School closes on April 1st. (blah blah blah). Please complete the attached Acknowledgement form and return it to Ms. Johnson by April 1st. "
the second page was this form I crafted with a wildcat logo and spaces for general information, credits missing, option for regaining credit, etc. At the bottom was an "Acknowledgement Statement: I ________________do certify and understand that I have been completely and totally duped by this amazing April Fools Prank. Happy First of April!!"
So anyway, I put in the envelope and write "Deliver to John MacDonald" on the front (in my really bad cursive. I'll stick to print, thanks). and I gave it to Alexa to deliver since she's a guidance aide. Jackie Phillips got a letter from Jen too (except hers was about not having enough community service hours). Around the end of first period, Alexa gave it to him, and stuck around outside the door to watch his reaction. From what she told me and from what the calc guys told me, he completely freaked out. ("This is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!!!!"). A few minutes after that, he apparently busts into guidance, demanding "I NEED TO SEE MICHAEL DUNAWAY RIGHT NOWWWWW!!!!!" surprising pretty much everyone in there and making quite an ass of himself. (this only serves to make the whole thing funnier!) He apparently didn't get to the second page of the letter, and was so upset by the time he read the front, he couldn't be bothered to read the back.
He busts into guidance, and starts flipping his shit. Alexa tells him to read the rest of the letter, and he does and gets real mad. He threw the letter on the ground in a fit of rage. (HA!) and for the most part got laughed at by the entire guidance office.
I'm pretty sure he's out to kill me now. Not only did I get him good, I got him REAL GOOD. His egotistical ass got PUNKED. And then he made an ass of himself in front of the guidance office about it. Which was even better than I could have hoped for. Plus, the entire school pretty much knows. And I know from some good sources that he was absolutely FUMING about it during second period. He's already told Jen that we're "going to pay!" (even though she had nothing to do with his prank, she was just pranking Jackie), to which I responded that we would happily pay for his Summer School tuition fees to make up that technology credit.
EDIT: Day 2. As an aide this morning, I walked into Mr. Prescott's room, and he goes, "Are you here to prank me?". I laughed and said, "No.". He goes, well whoever got John MacDonald got him real good. I proudly pointed to myself and exclaimed, I DID!!! and then he clapped for me! he made me sit in the "special chair" and told his econ class what I did. He even said that it was "the best prank [he thought] had ever been done at the high school." That was sweet. I also visited Mrs. Richburg, and I got more second-hand JMAC meltdown dirt. She said she heard him talking (quite loudly, I imagine) and came out of her office to investigate. She really emphasized that he "made a SCENE", to which I roffled.
John also saw me in the hallway this morning before class. I smiled my sweet little angelic smile and went, "Hi John!" and waved. He smiled (in a grimace-y sort of way--I'm sure he relives those moments in his nightmares.), pointed at me, and said, "You'd better watch your back, Sam Dean! You are totally going to pay for that one." and of course, my smart ass self replied, "Well John, I'd be glad to pay for Twilight School or Summer School, if you happen to be missing a technology credit!" and he goes, "Real funny, Sam Dean. Real funny."
I almost feel bad for the kid. Not only did I kick him off his throne, I kicked him off his throne, told everybody about it, and indirectly made him look supremely retarded. MWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
On the reverse note, god knows what he's going to do to get me back. I fully expect to come outside one day to find my car covered in plastic wrap or post it notes or something.
