Clark Gilbert is here tonight. Let's all say hello to Clark. Ready go...Hello Clark. Clark is just an average guy of no particular distinction, which is all the more reason to give him some group attention. In fact, let's all tell Clark that we love him. Ready Go...We love you Clark. Please stand up Clark so we know which way to direct our love.

Is Joseph Matt here yet? Let's all ask for him. Ready go...Joseph, are you here? Joseph, you are a little late on your credit card payments. Just a reminder, Joseph.

We understand that audience member David Kelley has a headache. Let's all tell David we are sorry about her headace. Ready go...Sorry about your headache David... All this shouting probably doesn't help... Let's all lead David in a the following healing meditation. Ready Go...David, Close your eyes. Imagine your headache as a Big Cow. Picture your headache-cow sitting on the field. Just grazing. Concentrate David Now......KILL THE COW!.....Chop your headache-cow into several cuts of beef and distribute them to stores throughout Texas. There, that should help you feel better.

Made me smile

On a side note: Yes, I'm a dork...and proud of it...and that's why I'm in robotics...then again...it's an double honors class and everyone in that class goes crazy if the class average is below 95%...

Matt: Aren't we all?

Uh....ok

Some kids in my spanish class (stupid under classmen) decided it would be funny to play a trick on my Spanish teacher. Somehow they got her to leave the room for 5 minutes and while they were gone they taped almost everything in the room to a table or the floor. They taped the stapler to the table, all her notebooks/folders/papers, they taped her computer mouse to the table, and they even taped her rolling chair to the ground. The funniest part is that she didnt notice any of it until she went to use the various items.

A friend showed up in my house in a gorillia suite and told me I was driving. First to the grocer. In he went, and out he comes, with mustard of all things. Then he gives me directions to another guy's house. Off we go. The guy parked his car outside. My hairy friend had me park, jumped out in full gorillia mode, and sprayed the car with mustard. Then he ran back and off we went. Not all that creative, but it was fun driving with him leaning out the window. Last year I heard he went to buy bananas in full gorillia getup.

Graphing calculators are a touchy subject for me.. I lost the one that my parents bought for me, and when I finally gave in and decided to sign one out from the school, I lost it within 5 min. And the sad part was that I wasn't even supposed to have taken it yet...

My math teacher tried pulling a prank on us. He told us that there was a quiz on Wed, and then when we walked in on Tuesday he had us take it then. Some people were like yelling at him.. I knew that it was a joke that he was pulling out to a large extent, besides no one in my class studies for math quizzes anyways.

Anyways, we took the whole quiz and that the end there was a code the decode that said "practice quiz."

Am I not the only person who completely forgot about it this year? I didn't even know it was till today when my barber was talking about it. My whole family forgot. I saw these threads but just thought...oh, it must be coming up. I am a bit dense...

THE WORST APRIL FOOLS PRANK EVER PULLED ON ME WAS DURING MY FRESHMEN YEAR!!

SO WE WERE HAVING A ROBOTICS MEETING JUST WEEKS BEFORE WE WERE GOING TO NATIONALS IN FL. AND ONE OF OUR HEAD ADVISORS STEPPED UP AT THE BEGENNING OF THE MEETING AND TOLD US THAT OUR FUNDS HAD RUN SHORT AND THAT UNLESS WE CAME UP WITH ABOUT 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS WE WEREN'T GOING. (btw we had all forgotten that it was april fools)

EVERYONE WAS SO DEVISTATED AND MAD...SO WE SAT THERE FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES SULKING WITH EACH OTHER AND THEN SHE FINALLY PIPED UP "APRIL FOOLS!!!" I SWEAR WE ALMOST KILLED HER. SO TO THIS DAY WE HOLD A GRUNG AGAINST HER AND SOMEDAY HOPE TO GET HER BACK.

I convinced a bunch of friends that because my grades sucked so much my parents were pulling me from harker, and placing me in our local public school (Monta Vista.)

Uta seemed rather happy =P noone else was.
