yeah, I used a couple programs. It was tricky though, getting the leading as packed as possible and stuff, plus the text on the manga pages.
-
I'd buy Cowbell Hero.
-
Fell thought he played a funny April fool's joke on me and the Big Dog. Mustard is now officially the favorite son.

Ooh! Ooh! Sibling rivalry, do tell!

Doesn't someone do that every year?
-
apparently, according to WTOP radio, Taco Bell ran a full page ad in some city newspapers claiming to have purchased the Liberty Bell from the feds and announcing their plan to move it to California and re-name it hte Taco Liberty Bell
-
I've always been the favorite, but now it's official.
-
So what did Fell do to make it official?
-
the girl I rode home with last night told me that her friend, and the friend's sister, who have both moved back in with their parents recently, got a pregnant woman to take a pregnancy test. Then simply left it out on the kitchen counter for their father to wonder about.
-
Did he wonder "who peed on this and then left it on my counter?"
-
probably not in so many words. But since it essentially said "whoever peed on this and left it on my counter is pregnant" and further conjecture would be "whoever left this on my counter is probably living here, which means my wife or one of my daughters." I reckon the words were probably "Who the **** in my Catholic house is pregnant?!"

Capture image of friends/co-workers computer, (of the desktop image)
Next, put the task bar on top of the screen, hide and lock said taskbar.
Hide icons.
Replace current desktop image with the new captured image.
Enjoy.
-
That. Totally. Rules.
Fell, why do you continue to ignore my question as to why HoM is now officially the favorite son?
-
Fell's not allowed to speak of it due to the plea agreement.
-
Okay then, HoM, what did Fell do?

Amateur. But I suppose that's the best you can do without administrative access.
-
And I suppose you did better?
-
making very slight alterations to usernames or passwords is hilarious. You can use the same victim a half dozen times before they catch on.
-
What exactly is your job anyway?
-
I think my official title is something like desktop publisher or documentation specialist or something like that. But I cover all the IT in office as well as writing the help files
-
You wouldn't happen to be the person who writes scripts for those annoying explanation people for those 'educational' programs would you? Because if you are I hate you. You've cost me so much time and effort, whilst my screams echoed across the computer lab "I already know this! I have an IQ above twenty, You don't need to explain it fifty times in a row!"
-
no, i work for a company that makes logistics and routing software for distribution/supply/transportation services.
-
Okay then, no hard feelings. ;)
-

Well, Freak! Administrative access opens up a whole new ballgame!! :D
switching the mice or monitor cables of two computers close to each other is also good.
Along the lines of passwords, you can also swith the M and N on the keyboard. Most people do not touch type, but glance, This is especially good on a "not-so-computer-savvy' secretary who has an M or N in their password.
-
I also like changing the settings on people's spam filters
they either start getting much more or much less email than they expect.
-
;D
haha,
Hmmmm.. maybe try changing a users name to someone else, so they will no longer recognize it, then create a new login with their same name and password.
When they log in, they will get a brand spankin' new, extra crisp and fresh windows logon!
Admisitrator privaliges open up a whole new realm.

A couple years ago, my family and I wrote up some "Hogwart's admission letters" and stuffed them under the door of one of our friends who is obsessed with Harry Potter. It was quite amusing.
-
That's awesome.
-
Take an optical mouse and put a small post-it note over the light on the bottom. Bonus: Write April Fools on the post-it.
I did this to a co-worker one year and it took her at least 20 minutes of turning off her computer and messing with the cables before she figured out it was the mouse.
Very funny.

Similar thing on older technology is to remove the ball. :)
