Pranks

Pulling pranks is one of my absolute favorite activities.

My favorite type of prank involves making a fake version of something.. a traffic sign, an ad or a page from a menu, and replacing the real one with my phony version. The newest pranks are listed on the top, with older stunts below. With help from Cockeyed readers, I've been able to pull a few long-distance pranks and some multi-helper local stunts.
