Chicago Prank in Beantown

Yesterday, Chicago's WGN TV pulled a bit of a prank in Boston.  Two reporters dressed in suits with official looking id tags were carrying a large case around the city with camera guys following them.  The case had NHL insignia and tags on it.  Everyone encountered had to believe there was a certain trophy in it since the Hawks were in town to play the Bruins for that trophy.

They managed to gather quite the entourage as they walked the street and occassionally dropped or almost dropped the case, drawing gasps from the folks.  When people asked if they could see what was in the case, they's say sure and then pop it open to reveal a Blackhawks jersey with big grins on their faces.

Most people started laughing and said that they'd been had, but one girl hauled off and popped one reporter in the back and said something that had to be bleeped out.

Search WGN TV Fake Stanley Cup and select "Pat dupes Bostonians into thinking case holds Stanley Cup.  Well worth a watch.

Done Got Hit Last Night

Woke up this morning and found that some spooks had done a 'trick" on me. Yellow marigolds were spread over part of the driveway by the street. I swept them aside, but can't figure out where they pulled them from. I have two large groups of yellow marigolds right by the driveway culvert. I still have lots and lots of yellow marigolds as well as red and light purple.

The only other time we got "hit" was about nine years ago when my gazing ball was shattered in the front of the house.

It must have been disappointment over my not doing my Halloween decorating this year. The "old man" by the fire pit may have to make a reappearance next year.
