Here is a question for you: How many weeks do you think we'll do this column before we get seven consecutive days without a penis-related prank? Our money is on a solid year. One year of pranks related to people's nether regions. Don't disappoint us, internet.
Royal Marine Goes Commando
The real concern is why his business is shaped like a big red X.
How does this not happen all the time? Men in uniform are often young, and as everyone knows, young guys do almost nothing in their off time except pull penis-related gags on one another. Sooner or later, some embedded reporter is bound to catch a commando going commando. It would be more shocking if there were a picture of 25 guys in their early 20s and no one had used the opportunity to show off his equipment.
Say It With Tacos
How is this punishment?
Actual racism hasn't been funny since Richard Pryor did stand-up, but responses to racism are often hilarious. For example, the Mayor of Easthaven, Connecticut recently said that he would prove he wasn't biased against Latinos -- by eating tacos.
This, as you can imagine, impressed the pants right off the Latino community in Easthaven. One immigration rights group expressed their overwhelming joy by sending him 400 tacos.
Which is a pretty standard variation on the old "order 100 pizzas for your math teacher" prank, except for this: When the soup kitchen came to pick up the tacos, they left one behind, as a symbol. Which makes us think that this guy has managed to annoy at least one person in every organization he deals with on a day-to-day basis.
Flight Attendant Pranks Passenger by Hiding in Overhead Bin
"Ha, ha, you look like you're having a heart attack! Sir? Sir?"
Today in "Things That Are Actually Terrifying," we have a story about a flight attendant who thought it would be hilarious to hide in an overhead bin and peep out at a passenger. This is one of those things that's super funny -- when it happens to someone else. If it happened to you, the situation might end with air marshals escorting you off the plane in flexi-cuffs.
Missing Speed Bumps Found on the Roof of High School
Something exciting happened in this building.
Senior pranks are generally pretty predictable. Carve your graduation year into the lawn, check. Plant a garden full of sporks in the courtyard, check. Put weird things on the roof, double check.
It's rare, however, for seniors to move actual sections of road onto the roof. We're just disappointed that they didn't get their cars up there, too.
The Giant Haggis of Inverness
Papier mache is actually much more delicious than real haggis.
Haggis is Scotland's version of a snipe hunt, except instead of getting you all dressed up in hunting clothes and dumping you in the woods, they put you in front of a plate full of offal and try to convince you you're eating an actual animal. You are not eating an animal. You are eating the bastard cousin of sausage innards. Haggis is terrible, Scotland. Stop trying to make haggis happen.
This fake haggis, on the other hand, is pretty cute. It's about five feet tall and has a pink kilt. A bunch of students took it on a train to Inverness, which means that this doll is better traveled than many real people.

The taco synopsis (especially the single one left behind) made me giggle, but I think there might be two Livers (heh) who will have a say about your opinion on haggis.

I'm prepared to do battle, in a kilt if necessary, to prove that haggis is awful. I have no idea how my fighting anyone, with or without a kilt, would prove anything, but I'm willing.
I think haggis really might be a prank Scotland is playing on tourists.

Haggis can indeed be funny. Especially without his Underwhere.

I need to keep my Underwhere on to support my huge balls.
As for haggis, it's not awful. It's offal. It can be quite tasty when properly spiced.
