i saw jack appleby (or someone who looked a lot like him) at a show once

didn't say hi b/c i didn't want to be a weirdo and also i wasn't sure it was him

 

this was before applegate btw

 

That was the first one. There have been many declarations of love across the phone lines since then.

Thank you for bringing that up though. That was a great prank.

 

I imagined you'd speak to your wife more than once.

And yes, that prank gave me a good laugh when it happened

 

"Brand New LP5 Exclusively Streaming on Chorus"

 

It was such an impromptu decision. I was in Miami visiting my parents for Christmas and I was in the car with my mom and we were at a dead stop on a one lane highway for 45 minutes so I got bored and was on Twitter, saw her post that someone asked if they had The Force Awakenings to rent, texted her roommate for the store phone number, got an instant response, told my mom to turn off the radio, and made the call. My mom almost blew my cover because she kept laughing

 

Hahaha, the fact that her roommate was just onboard right away is amazing

 

Probably the actual initial transition.

 

He didn't even ask why I needed it. Just handed it over. Afterwards he was like "I trusted you to do the most perfect and evil thing with it"

It was pretty perfect. I gave her every clue that it was me and she was just so far into customer service mode it never caught on. "Okay, well, when it does come out on DVD, could you guys ship it?...To Los Angeles?...I'm a drummer who just moved there. I play drums. In Los Angeles"

 

Oh my god.

My best prank is pretty great. I was 18 and working in retail for my first Black Friday. I was scheduled to help open the next day and everyone was exhausted because we all did 12 hour shifts. So on actual Black Friday, one of our managers was trying to get some sweatshirts down from upstock (overhead storage) and she accidentally kind of hit a kid in the face with them? That makes it sound a lot harsher than it actually was. But she turned to apologize and the kid ran away so it wasn't a big deal. So the day after, one of the other employees dared me to prank call her from inside the store on store phones and pretend to be the kid's mother. And I was still fairly new and nervous about fitting in and also potentially lose my job, so I told him if the store manager gave the okay I would do it. And because we were a very odd cast of characters, she said yes so I called and told her that my daughter had been viciously attacked by an employee and was hit in the face with a large amount of merchandise, that my daughter was screaming and crying and the employees were all laughing and I had been up all night in the hospital with her trying to calm her nerves about going to school in a neck brace. When she asked for my name I told her "Eileen Dover" and after a short pause I heard both through the phone and from the back of the store "EVA?!?!?!"

 

I wish I could favorite that story more than once

 

was in a rush last night so i threw my jeans into our dryer for today and i'm preeetty sure they're being pulled apart at the seams now on my calves

 

have the worst toothache rn and have gotten zero hours of sleep not good not good

 

Man, fell asleep and had like nine pages to read through. Pretty sure Alex (Gonz) and I started posting around the same time in 2006. I've met up with close to 15 AP people, though I wanna say at least five stopped posting by 2010. A bunch of us from the soccer thread met up in Columbus for USA-Mexico in World Cup Qualifying back in 2013... that was amazing. I still remember Nick (@SomedayTheFire) joking afterwards that another guy in the soccer thread and he went to the same school but never met and most of us drove 6 hour or more.

 

yeah that's true

 

I love this post haha omg. We were horrible

 

noooooo

 

this is pretty much my daily life

My job is just a mile up a hill. I'd like to start running it, but I'm not sure I want to leave clothes at work.
