The events leading up to the Nair incident. A classic of the genre, full of creatively vicious pranks and brotherly immaturity.
That's Why A Duck bydotfic
More adolescent shenanigans, this time with bonus John, father-son bonding, and ducks!
Bragging Rights bythe_ninth_bow
Adult shenanigans, this time with bonus Castiel, who is the best outsider POV on pranking ever. (listed as Dean/Castiel, but so mild it's nearly invisible)
If y'all have any more, please share! I do not have a pranking mind, so I enjoy vicarious prank wars.

This is making me want prank wars in EVERY fandom. (It helps that I've been catching up on House, which has *canonical* prank wars between House and Wilson. :D) I mean, can you imagine a Leverage prank war? Or Criminal Minds, if they were so inspired? Burn Notice: prank wars, now with bonus (minor) explosions! Sports Night! The CJ-Charlie prank war on TWW was so wonderful, I'd love to see it happen with more Sorkin characters. Psych, since Dule Hill's come up; I would love to see Gus pulling pranks on Shawn. NCIS would likewise be epic, especially if Gibbs or Ducky joined in. Merlin! HEE. Due South -- if someone managed to convince Fraser that practical jokes were a kind of social justice, that would be awesome. :D Or Firefly! They must go stir-crazy, you know it happens. Okay, stopping now...

I see you avoiding your papers over there, missy. Don't make me come smack you. (this would be the perfect moment for a "bitch, please" icon, if only I had the space for one.)

Hey, I totally just did the final polish on the body of my Modernism paper! Now I just need to tack on a conclusion (which will conveniently push it over 5 pages; the assignment calls for 4-6). *heads to Write Or Die*
Dude, you wanna see how utterly colorless the other paper's prompts are?
Please choose one of the following topics to explore in an essay of 5 - 7 pages.
1. Do a close analysis of the final sequence of "The Blue Angel" (from the stage performance to the very end). Please be sure to include the following elements: sound, editing, acting, camera, and mise-en-scene.
2. Compare the mise-en-scene of the dance sequence between Christine and Fritz in "Liebelei" with the sequence at the luggage compartment (with the “disappearing cabinet”) in “The Lady Vanishes.” Reference their relevance to their respective stories.
3. How does sound contribute to the over-all narrative in at least two of the following films: "The Blue Angel," "Liebelei," and "The Man Who Knew Too Much"? (E.g. the little hand clock in “The Man Who Knew too Much.") Discuss in depth.
4. Discuss the Albert Hall sequence in "The Man Who Knew Too Much." How do Hitchcock's editing and camera choices build suspense?
5. Compare the opening sequence in “The 39 Steps” (until Hannay meets Annabella) with the one in “The Lady Vanishes” (before passengers get on the train). In your discussion, show how they are different/similar in introducing the main characters, establishing the main plotline, the world of the story, and what visual techniques Hitchcock employs in each of them.
Please pay attention to grammar and spelling.
BLEHHHHHHH.
And girl, just pony up and buy a paid account and extra icon space. It's not like you don't spend enough time on LJ to make it worth it.

*points and laughs*
You should pick one of the prompts involving The Lady Vanishes, because I freakin' love that movie. I'd go for 5, because Hitchcock is at least entertaining, and I think you said you like The 39 Steps? Plus, the man is an extremely deliberate filmmaker, which makes your job easier, and you'll get to poke fun at the model set in the beginning on TLV.
I will get a paid account when I get a job. This is my determined face, don't argue.

*glares* You suck. I was always so sympathetic about your school woes. And now I regret that choice, because I've lost my chance. :P
*sigh* Okay, good enough reason. It's sort of a "picking the lesser of two weevils" situation, though...
Oh? And how are those job applications going?
