I know you've always wanted to see me handcuffed. I trust the cops mostly because I know the Chief of police who arranged this for me, though I did find out after the fact that I almost got pranked in a very bad way. The police told the chief they should taz me and tell me "April Fools" while I was twitching. Apparently he thought that was pretty funny but fortunately they didn't go that route.<BR/><BR/>jake,<BR/>Actually my anonymity has been breaking down, as it must if I put out any useful information, and so here I am. <BR/><BR/>helen,<BR/>unless this is all part of the prank and I really have everyone fooled ... hard to say now isn't it?

Being friends with the Police Chief (well acting police chief) has benefits for sure.<BR/><BR/>Candace,<BR/>I cut it way down and fast-forwarded several parts to speed things up. Maybe I'll just post the arrest, or you could click about 3/4 of the way in on the viewing bar.<BR/><BR/>SFL,<BR/>I've never had to bail anyone out either. I use to live in the part of town with all the bail bond businesses though. Watching people go into there didn't look all that fun. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, if I was trying to pull the prank off I would have done it differently. More importantly I would have called my police friends (see above) and arranged to not be arrested before starting. I think the misdirection and escalation were much more interesting this way though. The Youth thought they were helping me to prank my dad and they were the ones getting pranked ... well them and some people online who thought I ended up in jail because of the comments I made yesterday.Nick the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494956043889392219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476902858280070450.post-21990685764507027282009-04-02T13:50:00.000-07:002009-04-02T13:50:00.000-07:00Well, what can I say?
