pranks
my last prank post seemed to have been pretty popular. so here's another. we picked this up from penn and teller. it's a variation of the parsley game. it's played at a restaurant. the object is to move your parsley to the mark's plate without him catching you. so at siggraph the guy on my right lost his fork. i said i'd get him a new one. everyone assumed i meant from the waitress. i turned to the kid on my left and said you've got young eyes. what does that sign say over there behind you? when he looked i swiped his fork and handed it to the guy on my right. we were still talking about the sign. so i moved my parsley. and swiped the rest of his flatware for good measure. he ate his meal (it was some messy pile of rice and beans thing) without them. to this day i don't know if he didn't notice they were gone or just didn't care.
