    • Chestnut Custard Goldfish - Gold Leaf Burwood

      The best prank I ever played was The Big Christmas Prank of 2002. Realistically, I don't remember what year it was, but it was definitely Christmas time, and that's the part that matters. Here's what happened:
      As I said, it was Christmastime and Val didn't know what to get Krysta. My Christmas shopping was already done, so I was a good friend for a few minutes and helped her brainstorm.
      "How about goldfish?" I suggested.
      This struck us both as the best gift an 18 year old girl could receive, so we hauled ass to 24 hour Wal-Mart and I helped Val put together the best goldfish package ever. Fishbowl, pink rocks, plastic mermaid, and two little goldfishies. The present was all set.
      A few days later, Krysta mentioned that she had no idea what to give Val for Christmas, and did I have any ideas? I sure did.
      "Val would probably love a goldfish."
      Before I knew it, I was back at 24 hour Wal-Mart, helping Krysta pick out goldfish accesories. "Val likes pink, get the pink rocks. Oh yeah that's a nice treasure chest, but I think Val would like this plastic mermaid even better." As you've guessed by now, I got the two of them to get each other the exact same gift, right down to the placement of the stupid mermaid in the bowl. Which would have been fine, if it had been something normal instead of goldfish, which neither of them had ever expressed any interest in owning. When we exchanged gifts, their reaction was "....what?"
      My point is, it really wasn't even a good prank. I'm not even entirely sure it qualifies as a prank. But this is the kind of thing I like. It didn't scare anyone. It didn't embarass anyone. It was just a useless mindfuck.
