My Favorite Prank Played on Me

A couple of years ago my friend, Paul, pulled off one of the most extensive pranks on me and my roommates and therefore my most favorite prank - in response to our comparatively pathetic Pilates flyer.

He put together an entire website about the 3 of us! www.celestialdating.com
Here are some screen shots from the website:

The welcome pageThe homepage
When you click on my face from the homepage you get my page
And then when you click on the images at the right of my page you get some of the following pictures and captions! Paul actually contacted our parents to get some of these photos!! And obviously some of the photos have been doctored.And then there is the dating application - if you click on the image you should be able to see some of the hilarious entry fields!
And then there is the Mr. Right quiz (again, click on it to see a larger image).
And then the following Mr. Right Quiz results reveal which of three girls you are most compatible with (again, click on it to see a larger image):
And then last but not least is the Instant Proposal feature where you could propose any one of us.

This website is a prank that just keeps on giving! We've had a reporter from the Washington Post propose to us as a way to get in contact with the creator of the website - he wanted to do an article on it!! And then the worst of all: one of my roommates had a actual polygamist use the instant proposal feature to invite her to join his family as one of his wives!! After that last one, Paul took the site down for a while. But then put it back up. Those were good memories - all the pranking we had going on between us during those years (2003 - 2005?).

Remind me why you and Paul have never gotten together?

LOL! You make me laugh Mary. First of all, Paul and I would have killed each other. Secondly, he just got married a couple days ago!!

Holy Cow! That is over the top. What a great prank. I think it definately merits some retrobution. Do you have any plans? We're talking about payback for a prank that has lasted through YEARS! I'll put my thinking cap on.
