So... I Got Bored

Today I got bored and drew Robert E. Lee being chased by a murderous duck. It's a long story. 

Well, this is Awkward...

I suppose I stink at not being on hiatus. Sorry about that. I have actually tried to do some stuff, but lately doing things has been hard for me. I'm slipping deeper and deeper into the realm of intense laziness, and really need to be a little bit more responsible when it comes to this blog. Hopefully, there'll be a bit more of me here in the future.

Hey! I'm Back!

Sorry for the hiatus. I've been a bit busy. Today, Pranky officially returns to Pranks-A-Lot! Party time!

(That's confetti in the background, by the way).

New posts are coming very soon, including an explanation (and dramatization) of why I hate planes, a couple of rants about British television, and a bunch of pictures of the cacti I'm growing. 

Stay tuned!

PRANKS-A-LOT STORE BY PALINDROME!!!

I put my awesome friend, Palindrome in charge of marketing, products, and the like, and she created the one and only Pranks-A-Lot store, Pranktabulous! Thanks Palindrome!!!

Palindrome created a line of phone and iPad cases based around some drawings from this blog. Even though the store isn't completed yet, there's still some pretty awesome stuff there. Here are two of my favorites:

Both of these awesome products and more can be found at http://www.zazzle.com/pranktabulous*.

That Time I Dumped Cheez-Its on Gray Wolf's Head

As I said, Gray Wolf thinks she's special, and that she can be driven to school every day without consequences. Hwi and I decided to stop the madness, and get back at her in some unimaginable way to convince her that she's just like the two of us: slightly abnormal. Hwi and I spent hours brainstorming ideas.

 

Hwi doesn't seem to understand the concept that you simply can't freeze a person without killing them. Fish and frogs can use sugar in their blood as an antifreeze, but if a person tried to do that, it would kill them, and so would the actual freezing process.

 

(You get the picture, right?) Anyway, Hwi's far-fetched ideas of freezing Gray Wolf, locking her on the roof, prank calling her (again), or my favorite, splashing mud at her (only you mind that, Hwi!), didn't really get us anywhere, so I had to improvise. That day at lunch:

 

 

 

Gray Wolf's really scary when she's angry. Did you know that?

 



The True Story of Why I Haven't Been Posting Very Much

To tell you guys the truth, I suck at commitments, and when I say 'suck' I mean 'SUCK' in all caps. Ever since I was a little kid, I could never commit to anything for longer than a week. I would start writing a novel, and be SURE that THIS was the one that was going to get me into Harvard.

Then, of course, less than a week later, I would abandon my 'novel' in search of something that was more likely to happen. Sadly, life has taught me (thus far) that you should never commit to anything remotely difficult, because you might fail miserably at it and have everyone laugh at you.

This is my day-to-day life. Sitting around in school, even though I know the answers to questions just because it would require too much effort to raise my hand and say "India." The only real exception to this is science class.

After watching 88 hours of my favorite TV show, Fringe, I've decided that I REALLY want to be a biochemist. During science class (which is life science this year), I'm hyper-focused and I answer EVERY question, no matter how much I just want to fall asleep. In most of my classes, my thoughts, if translated into a visual, would look like this:

However, in science class, my thoughts are more like this:

(Somehow I still manage to get straight 'A's. I still can't figure out how I do it!)

This appears to have turned into a rant about how I can't focus. The real reason I haven't been posting is that I'm the laziest person on the planet and can't be bothered to do anything. I'll try harder, but it might not get any better.

I can't really think of a good way to end this post, so here's a picture of a doughnut (I drew it with sprinkles just for you!):



I Bought a Wacom Tablet!

Hi, it's Pranky with a HUGE announcement: I just bought a Wacom tablet!

 

Now that it's so much easier to draw, you can expect a lot more updates from me! :D

 

Pranky out!

The Prank Call

Hwi and I had a score to settle with Gray Wolf. You see, she's been purposefully missing the bus to do homework for about 6 weeks now, and we got really ticked off that she can get away with that.

 

 So Hwi and I decided to get back at her. My way.

I downloaded a special app on my phone that allows me to disguise my voice. Hwi and I grabbed my phone, opened the app, chose a scenario, and the stage was set. We placed the call, and Gray Wolf picked up.

Here's how the dialogue went down:

Gray Wolf: Hello? Gray Wolf speaking.
Pranky and Hwi: Hello, is this *insert Gray Wolf's number here*?
Gray Wolf: Yes.
Pranky and Hwi: This is Henry Watkins calling from the Zoo. I need to find out what time you want your koala bear.
Gray Wolf: Sorry, what?
Pranky and Hwi: A baby koala bear, you signed up to adopt one and we got a dozen of these babies and we're delivering them all today. What time is good for you?
Gray Wolf: Urm.. could you call back in two hours?
Pranky and Hwi: No.
Gray Wolf: Why?
Pranky and Hwi: 'Cause we aren't really the Zoo, Gray Wolf, you idiot!
Gray Wolf: PRANKY! HWI! IS THAT YOU?!
Pranky and Hwi: No, we're... I mean I'm Henry Watkins, remember?
Gray Wolf: YOU TWO ARE SO DEAD!
Pranky and Hwi: Miss, are you mentally unstable? Because we... I can get you help.
Gray Wolf: I KNOW IT'S YOU TWO!
Pranky and Hwi: *Uncontrollable laughter*
Gray Wolf: AARGH!!! *Hangs up phone*


And that's why you take the bus to school.

I'm Not Dead!

It's true! I am actually, still alive! :D

REALLY REALLY BAD NEWS

Hi, it's a very melancholy Pranky here with some truly awful news. I need heart surgery.

You see, I was diagnosed with a rare, yet serious, condition known as ALCAPA, which stands for Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery. Here's a diagram below:

As you can see, the heart on the left is normal, while the heart on the right has the same condition as I do. Mine was not a very serious case (if it was we would have discovered it many years ago), but it does require extensive surgery to correct it.

You may be thinking: 'Wow, Pranky! Those are some big words there!' and if you are, you're right. Along with being the world's most amazing prank-er, I'm also an academic junkie, so I spend lots of time correcting Gray Wolf's grammar usage (she warns me that if I do it one more time bad things will happen).

Anyway, my surgery is on the 18th of this month. I'll be in the hospital for a week after that, meaning I'll return home on Christmas Day. Because my birthday is the 22nd of this month, I'll also be spending that, and the impending Apocalypse (December 21st) in the hospital (However, I saw the Apocalypse coming. The second the Washington Redskins stopped being terrible, I knew something was wrong).

So wish me luck, and send me chocolate! :)

The Sleep-Over

On Saturday night, I had a sleep-over with Gray Wolf, Hwi, Twisty, and Cheesy. A series of unfortunate events unfolds, and poof! I can't walk and I get pranked (let it suffice to say that both Hwi and Twisty are now on my hit-list). It kind of went down like this:

Warning: You are Entering an Exaggerated Version of a Real Event

It was about three in the morning. Of course, I had claimed the couch at the beginning of the sleep-over. Twisty, Cheesy, and Gray Wolf were to remain asleep, but Hwi was destined to be woken up by the daemon of terror that is Pranky.

 Yep. I woke up at 3:00 in the morning, grabbed a plastic light saber, crawled into Hwi's sleeping bag, and hit her on the head with said light saber (and woke everyone up). But wait! It gets worse!!

Hwi kicked me in the leg. I couldn't walk for three days! Yay! And to make it even worse, guess what I saw when I woke up.

Yep. We got TPd. It took us about five minutes to realize that Twisty was the only person who didn't have toilet paper all over her and that she must have done it. And then she claimed to be better at pranking than me!!!!!!!! She will pay for that.

VS.

Who's the better pranker?

Creating the Perfect Halloween Costume

I know that this site is supposed to be about pranking people, but I decided to give you a 'how to' guide on making an awesome Halloween costume (and brag about the one I'm going to wear at the same time).

Pranky's Guide to Making the Perfect Halloween Costume in Lots of Not-so-simple Steps

Step 1: Choose a costume idea

This is probably the most straightforward of all of the steps. All you need to do is choose an idea:

(Click image to enlarge)

For those of you who don't know, I play the tuba. I chose to be a tuba for Halloween to represent the small percentage of tubists (fancy for 'a person who plays the tuba') who are female.

Step 2: Buy lots of foam board

Seriously! All of these costumes can be made with the right color foam board (orange for pumpkin, silver/white with silver spray paint for spatula and yellow, tan and pink for pencil). I'm using yellow foam board for my tuba costume. You'll also need:

An X-ACTO Knife

Something to use as as straps (caution tape, duct tape, etc.)

Decorations such as felt, glitter, and shiny stuff (optional)

Black marker (for details on something like a tuba)

Step 3: Make the costume

Unfortunately, this step really isn't very straightforward. You need to cut out the shape of the costume, glue/tape the straps on, put on any decorations you might need, see if the costume fits you, etc.

Credit your costume to Pranky!
