Happy April Fools Everyone!!

Did anyone have a practical joke that they played on someone today, or did you end up being the victim of a prank? Did it work or back-fire?

I'm lucky that I am not at work today because it always tends to get a bit out of hand.

Feel free to share any April Fools stories you might have.

I can't decide if Ironhide & Rodimus are being released or if it's an April Fools joke. Same goes for Legends Devastator being spotted here. Can't trust anything today!

This is doing the rounds currently. Not sure if it's 4/1 or not.

The Expendables. (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808411960/video)


Sylvester Stallone - Barney Ross
Jason Statham - Lee Christmas
Jet Li - Yin Yang
Terry Crews - Hale Caesar
Randy Couture - Toll Road
Dolph Lundgren - Gunnar Jensen
Mickey Rourke - Tool
Eric Roberts - James Monroe
Steve Austin - Paine
Bruce Willis - Mr. Church
Arnold Schwarzenegger - Trench

I think we're just missing Chuck Norris. Apparently JCVD was offered a part but he rejected it.

Um... this is a real film, Tober. I don't think anyone really spends eighty million dollars on an elaborate April Fools joke. :)

one of workmates has a bright orange WRX and today i was going through the rags which are old ripped up tshirts and this particular one said "i love bad boys".

so i stuck that to his rear number plate and saw him drive off with it when he finished work, he knows about it now althoug he didnt take it too well because hes a bit uptight even though its alright for him to do a joke on one of us but not to him so on the way home and the biggest grin on my face something like this :D

I might be missing the point of the april fools here, but are people actually looking for this guy? I swear I saw him last weekend at either Target or Kmart. Think it was Target.

I don't buy movie figures so I have no idea which figures have been released or not.

*EDIT* Wait, my bad. I remember now. It was just that cheap piece of crap devastator. The one where all the limbs are permanently attached.

Who was it that came up with the 'commemorative series has just been re-released' April Fools gag? It was several years ago on the old board.

I remember it fooled quite a lot of people, even when it was mentioned that a Powermaster Optimus Prime was found locally.

Ahh... good times :p

Erm good thing my workplace is not an ideal place for such pranks..... not when youve got patients hooked on ventilators and l;ots of tubings :p playing pranks and practical jokes would get you fired or a patient... um dead:o

It was hard to top last years joke i pulled on the entire family and many friends.

I called everyone and told them that i could not get to work because the Nowra bridge had collapsed in to the river.

They all fell for it hard to. Which was made easier as previous to the day the council were doing structural maintainance on the bridge. They all went up there for a look :D by 10am and a army of phone calls many starting with "you a**hole" my kidneys hurt from laughing so hard :D it was a good day
