The HappyBoards was actually a prank put on by ProBoards--and after moon and I had set up our own prank. We had nothing to do with the HappyBoards thing. OMG! Well, their little prank was so transparent it gave yours away! Still, it was all in good fun and enjoyed by most. KUDOS! |

I totally thought it was a prank at first but then I saw this thread and I was like, "Oh, this is a thing now..."
But... I liked my inappropriate pig...

New mandate doesn't seem to be affecting the other "happy" boards I've seen. It wouldn't , their top exec's are a bunch of grouches whereas we have one with a potty mouth at times, [self admitted ] and a awesome sense of humor, we are so lucky. Kudo's moon, awesome and where is my avitor anyway...ok , i'll be patient. Been thinking of possible a "Out House , a two holer ?? mmmm, naa , the proboard people again....no sense of humor  |

Looks like they haven't turned back on the ability to edit our profile pics in the aftermath...

Y'all have cracked me up all day! But until a few minutes ago, all I could see were your real avatars! I'm glad to have seen all the ones you've been complaining about all day! I'm frankly surprised at how few of you immediately realized that this was a joke! Guess it's the journalist in me LOL. Well done! Not as well as the BBC's spaghetti harvest maybe, but well done nonetheless.  ETA: Sheila, that's a pickle! It just hasn't been picked yet LOL. |

I'm glad that most of you enjoyed the tom-foolery.. however, i deserve no praise.. despite what virgil said, i had no part in the planning of the prank, and only very little in the implementation of it.. my entire contribution was the first post in this thread.. and the rest was him..
hats off to virgil!!

Don't know??... but the EE board was having convulsions about their avatars early this AM when I joined in the hilarity there, and uninvited again but decided to just crash their party..before being asked to leave.

You get to be downright mean and nasty being locked in a 12'X12' padded cell 24/7. And the only entertainment is my Samsung Cell Phone with all the extras for internet surfing and emails...it was smuggled in here (Leavenworth, Kansas Federal Prison) by my attorney Mr Dalton M. Burns III who is a Canadian btw. |

I've got OnStar in my car, Steff, so if I really needed to reach someone while I was out and about, I could do so. I've never used it in nearly three years.
That is the first thing I ask of any new client, if their car is equipped with OnStar. I highly recommend to disable it since ditching your car will alert the control center to notify police with your exact coordinates. Not something you would want after coming back from a wild office party.

I like my OnStar, GPS, and Bluetooth...and have a hard time wondering what to do without those added features.. Although the GPS Directional system got me lost a few times or else I turned left instead of turning right or whatever?

Nope. I still am not impressed by the pink snail with boogers.
Still don't believe you.

Buried in a drawer somehere. I use to wear it all the time, sort of as my own personal medal. After I was married, I stopped wearing it. Think I am going on a rummage hunt now. Second thought, I think I have it in the safety deposit box. Good night. |

PeaceOfMind (POM) was the first to "notice", at roughly 12:05 AM.
Private Investor wasn't a party to the avatar prank, but he did post something about pulling a prank. I'm not sure what it was.

Three questions..
Was Private Investor's avatar an internal organ.....No Correct. He just looked like one
Was Private Investor in on the joke?....................Yes complete and utter BULLSHIT.. and PI, for the record, i don't appreciate you insinuating you were. [/color][/quote] I received a number of communications regarding whether or not you had suddenly become a mod and had 'powers'. Now, anyone who was looking would have seen that your supposed forewarning was a post that was edited AFTER the prank had already begun. he was also using the fact that i had recently been asked to sell this board, so it was somewhat easy to make it look like i might have done so - to him.. Impersonating a mod is wrong and i would strongly suggest it not happen again. |
