The Gay Flower Prank

This weekend my family and I attended a Red Sox game, and when we got home, I was surprised to find a bouquet of brightly-coloured flowers delivered by my neighbour.



Now, I don't want to say my neighbours are nosy, but it's practically impossible to bury a dead hooker in your backyard without someone calling the police. It turns out that my neighbour, a middle-aged woman we'll call Pam, because that is her name, had her 24/7 surveillance camera trained on my house, when she saw a suspicious-looking gentleman. He was driving a grey car and had on some unusual attire, thought it was difficult to get the complete story, what with her excitement about the whole affair.

It turns out the stranger was delivering the flowers to my doorstep, and disappointed not to find me home. He was leaving the flowers on the step, when my neighbour stepped in. "Can I bring those flowers inside, so they don't cook in the sun?" she asked. The mysterious stranger appeared startled, possibly because he was taking pictures of my house.

As my wife looked at me suspiciously, I took the flowers from the neighbour. They were technicolor daisies, something produced by a gay man in love with Walt Disney. There was a note card attached that read:



"Is there something you want to tell us?" asked the neighbour, while my wife inspected the note.

"I don't think I know a Raul," I replied slowly, racking my brain.

"What happens in Austin stays in Austin," said the neighbour.

Recently I had been traveling on business, and the day after I left, some hackers got our credit card number and charged something to a place called HOT LOVE. It's really bad timing to have your wife discover a HOT LOVE charge on your credit card when you're in another city. Now with the flowers from "Raul," I was really starting to look bad.

"What did he look like?" my wife grilled the neighbour. "Was he wearing a hat? Did he smoke a pipe? Was he of Latin descent?"



As the interrogation continued, I went inside and put the flowers in water. I wasn't going to let my mysterious gay lover's flowers wilt.

One giveaway was the fact that "Raul" had made a mistake when signing his own name. It's pretty hard to mess up your own name, unless you have Parkinson's.

The other giveaway was that I soon got a call from my friend Rob, who I recently pranked by sending a limo to his house. He asked if I had received the flowers.

CURSE YOU C0CKERHAM!

I hadn't expected Rob to retaliate so quickly, but he had somehow quickly found a reader of his site to deliver the flowers. The gentleman known as "Raul" had flown into Boston for a single day, dropping off the flowers, terrorizing my neighbours and jeopardizing my marriage.

Over the next few days, the dye began leaking out of the flowers, turning the water a deep red. "LIKE THE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS, C0CKERHAM!" I told him on the phone. "LIKE THE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS."



The ball's in my court. What should I do next to prank Rob? Ideas welcome below!

In this prank, you will impersonate a video production agency.

Create a Gmail account and be sure to sign up for a free telephone number - in his area code. See if you can get the telephone number to spell something that will allow you to exploit that it is a vanity number. (310) A1-VIDEO

In Gmail, set the phone number to forward to your own phone number.

Create and deliver a phony invoice with a Second Reminder Unpaid Invoice letter.

The invoice will be for production services rendered and air-date placement for their Coleridgeeyed commercial spot aired on (whatever date and whatever channel is a believable local channel for them). Make the invoice amount somewhere between $15,000 to $30,000, and feel free to line-item the casting of monkeys and peaColeridges - flea circus' and whatever else you think should be in his commercial promoting his website. (Hmm, maybe not monkeys - he'll immediately suspect you.)

Be sure to have a P.O. box and phone number listed on the invoice.

The next day, take the bull by the horns and call them through your Google number. You are the king of phone pranks. I know you can do this, John!

Don't allow him to take advantage of your company's good nature to allow final payment after airing! After all, those hula-hooping dogs didn't come cheap and without crapping on your set!

I like Jeeni's idea, but I'd change the business model - you should make it an escort service. Keep the peaColeridges, and hula-hooping dogs in there though. Maybe add in a pony, and charge extra for the "dog and pony show". Have an Italian leg-breaker named Vinnie call him about not paying for his party.

Extra points if Stacy leaves him.

Send a woman with a baby to his house, claiming that the baby is his. To add to the humour, make it a white woman with a black baby.

Followup email I received:

Hi - loved the flower story. I was wearing grey cargo pants, NB running shoes and a grey t-shirt. Not very unusual attire. The grey car was a rental Elantra. And except for snapping some iPhone photos all I did was ring, knock and leave the flowers. Your neighbor had just left in a black SUV and had reached the end of the street and turned around and came back to ask if she should hold the flowers for "her". I had a good internal giggle while saying they are for John. From there I drove to Boston, caught a showing of the new Planet of the Apes movie, grabbed some dinner and caught my flight to Reykjavik. I am a long time fan of Coleridgeeyed and now a new fan of ZUG. Glad I got to participate in Rob and John's prank war. - Raul (Jeff)

The prank ideas are great -- keep them coming!

They have some good vodka. Reyka* is the best I've ever had.

Wait... they came from Reykjavik to deliver flowers? Now that's a site groupie! John, you need site groupies that will travel out of country for you.

Wow Jeeni, you put alot of thought into that. Remind me to never misspell your name again!

John, find out when he may be having some type of gathering at his place and post a Craigslist notice inviting people to it. A D&D open house, monkey lovers support group, "40 and proud to live in Mamas basement" icecream social. Whatever. You think will get the oddest attendees.

Hire an "investigator" to follow his wife around as though he suspects her of unfaithfulness. Make the investigator terribly inept and following the mark without being noticed. Maybe he should interview her nonchalantly about extramarital affairs.

We had a lotta fun with these: Throw a midnight Kegger at their place. Advertise on Craigslist (We may or may not have also printed up 1/4 sheet ads to drop EVERYWHERE we went also) that there will be a DJ, a Keg and some food. Cost to get in is 1 six pack of their favorite beer. One of us was able to unlock the backyard gate and put up all kinds of party decorations after they all went to sleep...

From what we understand. People started showing up at 11:45ish ate the bucket of KFC and started to get impatient when the DJ never showed up so banged on the sliding glass doors. The guy we were pranking was completely lost.. thus pissing off the partiers..More kept showing up and he had to explain to each of them that there was a mistake. Lol...LONG night then he had to go to church the next morning and explain why he was exhausted...Cause ya see we had a kegger...LOL..

The other one was to create a dozen or so dating profiles on fetish sites..NOW that was fun! He had some major explaining to do to wifey..Lol..

What should I do next to prank Rob?

- Find an accomplice who knows Rob well enough that they can take pictures in his living room.
- Send them a BIG cardboard ZUG.com logo.
- Get them to take a picture of the ZUG.com logo planted in the living room, for instance on the couch.

When you receive the picture, send it to a bunch of people here at ZUG, who can then all send the picture from various places throughout North America to Rob's office address, with the words "Wish you were here!" written in the back. For added creepiness, arrange for all the postcards to be written by one single person. I suggest KChiki.

Mailman - when my husband and I bought our house here in CT, I shared photos with friends and family. An artist friend in TX photoshopped himself sitting in a chair in our living room. It cracked me up because I would have never expected it - but to him, an empty room was a blank canvas.

Have two "federal agents" go to his house. Have them ask Rob about his involvement in creating a device capable of harnessing the power of the sun for destructive purposes. When he admits have the agents escort him to the waiting black SUV with tinted windows. Once inside the SUV have the agents handcuff and blindfold Rob. Have them drive around while yelling agent-y things like "Do you have any idea how many lives are in danger because of you?!" After about 15 minutes of this have them pull up in front of his house, undo the cuff and push in out of the SUV. While Rob scrambles to take off the blindfold have one of the agents say "Oh, and one more thing." When Rob turns to look the agents throw a pie in his face and peel out.

Does Rob work in an office with humans? If so, you could send a box of gay sex toys there, including, I dunno, a Coleridge cage, harness, anal douche (and I want to make it clear that I don't actually know what ANY of these things are ...) maybe decorate up the box with heart stickers or something. Make sure the return address makes it clear that it's from a dude. Include a note "breaking up" with him and saying you have to return his things because seeing them in your house makes you cry.

He'll be all:


And what's with the bogus credit card charges? You know there are websites that can help you prevent that kind of thing ;)
