~Yahoo! Senior Webmaster, John C. Estes,
12/28/05
the site, I saw that 2 of my buddies were using my Guestbook to have a joke session between themselves.
Now, this bugs me, cuz I have to log in and remove the useless messages myself, so I thought I'd play a little
prank-a-roonio. Since they were joking about the death of Fred the Baker from Drunken Dognuts (Dunkin'
Donuts), I figured if they got that big a kick out of death, I'd give 'em one that would shock the shit out of
them. I created this page and replaced my index with this, removing all links in the process. Problem was, I
was mistaken in thinking they were the only ones who read my sites these day, and a couple of girls I know
freaked out cuz they thought I was dead. My buddies believed it too, which I guess in some retarded way
makes me an excellent prankster, instead of just a complete asshole. (which I am as well). In all fairness,
though, I DID leave some clues that it was a prank, such as: 1.The week before, for Christmas, I stated that it
was a sucky time of year, and would God please just take me home?. 2. Who in the world would believe that
the Senior Webmaster from Yahoo! would inform the internet community that a webmaster had croaked?
They'd just take the site down. And 3. The name of the Senior Webmaster was 'John C. Estes', which
happens to be the real name of porn star John Holmes. Google works folks. Maybe I'm just too subtle for my
own good. Anyway, I'm still alive, but in the future I'll prolly make my pranks a little less cruel. (although I DO
have a pretty good Godddamn idea for one involving a banana peel, a donkey, and a bus full of midgets at a
gynecologist's convention). See you in the funny papers, faithful readers. (if there are any left). *snicker*
