It looks like they're already tapping into the site. This is how it starts. This sucks.


Awesome truck Phil. Please see if one like this is available in the LA area. I like black but I'll take what you think is a good deal. Ran

Saw the OS prank... was going to do a similar one here before I saw James's prank, fell for it, PM'ed him and then re-read the post.

Figured I'd throw in the "sold my TB" bit anyways for some fun.

Can someone post a link to Bill's roast? I only know the off road forum in the OS... not familiar with anything else.

Hahaha I got my gf today... Texted her I got a job offering in CO, where my company has other locations in. Told her I excepted, and she knows how much I'd like to live out there so she was sure it was true, especially since its kinda easy to transfer if theres somethin open.

She was just speechless and bout to cry, thinkin I was leavin her... hahaha but when I texted back 'April Fools' she said 'No f*ckin way!!! Jerk.'

I'm new and I knew it was a joke. Besides it would have been pretty f'd up if they just made Phil a Moderator and then two days later James gave over the site to a group of clowns. I don't prank my girl anymore cause one year she told me she was pregnant,after I almost shit my pants she then said it was an April fools joke.

Wow peein on the strip and showing it to you. Damn thats a good one! I laughed out loud when I read your post Brendan. Tell her you got into a huge fist fight with one of her friends or something. Ah your right that is hard to top.

That's pretty good. I would say you have a very smart girl there, and I wouldn't even try to match wits with her!

Hehe. The pee strip was just a test. She happened to conduct it on April 1, but she was observing every response you made. They'll be examined closely later, on her terms.... :slap: :poke:
