BP just called me and asked me to post here that he's currently in a location that doesn't have a wireless connection and his new computer doesn't do dialup so he'll be ingognito for about 24 hrs...he then said something about golfing with Bill Murray and cocktails and that I get to be Big Poppa for a day. :)

He''ll be back round these parts in 24 hrs or so...

What does it feel like, to be the boss for a day?

But did he leave you the bottle opening sandals and a supply of Hawaiian shirts? If not, you should push to give yourself a raise for dealing with such hardship.
 
I was just thinking about that. Call Dargie up on the cellphone in the middle of the night and say, "Here's what I want to do..."
 
I'm trying to think of diabolical things that we mice can do while the cat's away, but I just woke up from being bonked out by the dentist - goooood drruuuuuugggs
 
I enjoy playing with people PC's while they are away... sticky tape over his mouse laser, slightly unplug network cables. Rearranging and office is always fun. I once removed everything from one bosses office.. PC, drawers, fancy phone and chair and replaced it all with a calculator, pen, notepad, crappy analogue phone, crappy chair.. it was hilarious.. another time we also wrapped his whole office up with alfoil....

Muchos funos to be had when the boss is away.

You could also fake documents pertaining to the sale of the company...

speaking of which... here's a great gag to play on windows users.

1) take a screenshot of their desktop (icons, start bar etc... essentially a screenshot of windows without any apps open)

2) set that screenshot as their background image

3) change the desktop settings in order to hide ALL their icons (they'll still see them b/c the icons in the background image)

4) hide the taskbar (to do this just move your mouse to the edge of the task bar and you'll see the "resize" mouse pointer... then just drag down to shrink it to nothing). again they'll still see this b/c its in the screenshot which you've set as their background image

now they'll desktop will look normal... but everything they can click on is just a part of the background image and they'll trip out thinking their machine is broken.


another cool gag for PC folks. I this used to work but might have changed in windows xp (havent sued a pc for a while). You know the windows logo you seen when you reboot the machine? well that's a file called logo.sys (if i remember its in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 (or do a search for it). you can edit that image in MS Paint... so find out what antivirus their using and edit that file to look like a screen where their antivirus software is telling them they have 1,000 fatal viruses. save the file (might have to save ana bmp then rename it to logo.sys) then shut off their machine. next time they use it they'll have to reboot and they'll see, what they think is, their antivirus software telling them they have a bunch of viruses

have fun... and dont blame me is you break stuff. these should be harmless pranks tho

i actually fell for the logo.sys prank. my buddy pulled that on his roommate before he left town back in college. my buddy called me freaking out and asked me to come fix it... it took me a lil while to figure out what had happened.

the screenshot background things is rad tho... people click around forever and never get figure it out. it used to be a better traick, back before everyone had a "windows key" on their keyboards... if they start mashing keys they'll eventually hit the windows key and the start menu will pop up then they'll slowly peice it all together
 
BP did say I could post this though....then he said something about me staying in a garage....
