 PEOPLE

> Saint Jim the Happy (my patron saint) remained moderately inebriated throughout his brief but benevolent life
> Joe Schmutz somehow finds time in his busy life to play practical jokes on street people (exploding cigarettes, hot gum, etc.). It adds excitement and meaning to their dreary lives. Thanks Joe!
 > The latest trendy hobby for the rich & famous is squirrel watching. Seems the beautiful people can't get enough of those fuzzy little varmints doing their wild ,wild animal business. Isn't that Tyra Banks behind that squirrel blind ?

PRANKS  

> Add extra bumps to brail messages
> Drive alongside joggers and harass them. If they try to attack you, just speed off
> Give 100 people with no musical training band instruments an enter them in a parade
> To counter those people who walk along the street singing real loud, carry a trumpet and use it
> Send an adult out on the street with a secret transmitter-receiver hookup, and have a 6-year old tell him what to say
> Call someone's answering machine, record their outgoing message, and play it back onto their tape. Do this several dozen times
> I love twisting technology to my own absurdist ends. I once arranged (at great , great expense), a conference call between myself, a person picked at random from the Moscow phone book, and a talking bird.
> If you can see into your neighbor's living room, see if your remote can affect their TV. If that's not crazy enough, if they have a baby monitor setup, you get one too, and send them satanic messages
> At election time, rent a van with a loudspeaker, hang big pictures of yourself on the side, and drive aloud playing marching music and screaming "Habada heebada hoo. Blagada bloogada blooey" into the microphone
> When you're walking in a crowded city, every now & then, pretend you're calling to someone. Yell, "Billy, . .YO BILLY" real loud. It feels good. Alternatively, wear a hard hat and bang on a pole with a hammer. People will try not to notice. Bang Harder.
