I PREDICT A PRANK WAR
Interviewed Lisa Hannigan yesterday for the Irish Times. A friend of mine who knows her vaguely tipped me off that she’s a very devoted member of some obscure sect of born again Christians. She hasn’t spoken about it publically before, he said. But if I raised the topic delicately, and pressed her if she at first denied it, then she might just go on the record about it.
And rather foolishly, I believed him…

Yeah, i’m looking for a prank i can play on someone i neither live nor work with, someone i generally meet for lunch once every couple of weeks and who probably reads this blog. Oh, i’m gonna get him alright.

How about you buy this asshole a ‘gift’ of a toothbrush – maybe he needs a new one – and somehow inject salt (or some sort of liquid saline solution might be more practical) into the actual packaging with a syringe. Either that or just concoct some excuse or other in order to move in with him, and then hit him with the traditional version of the salt/toothbrush stunt.

He lives with his fiance so not sure if moving in with them is feasable. Besides, as far as I can tell, they’re total degenerates living in their own filth type of arrangement… Not sure i want in on that.

Kick him in the balls.
If that seems too crude go for the more comedic option and throw a ball at his balls.
LH went to a Prod secondary school. Perhaps that’s the cult to which your buddy was referring.

No Ian, he just completely made it up I think. Kudos on the “Prod” usage tho.
