That's what I forgot to mention. I was wary about posting this in the recent aftermath for fear of a plague breaking out and it being traced to the mysterious appearance of goldfish in the DC. I suppose the danger's past now and I can let you all in on the joke now that it all officially went well.
Taylor Daniel Barkley has this fun trick he does when he's bored at dinner. He gets some wax paper and puts it over the top of a glass full with water, then flips it upside-down on the table and pulls the paper from underneath it. Then most people are confounded as to how you get the glass up, but it's really quite simple. Anyway we did this hydro-flipping often until it got boring and I said, "How funny would it be if there was a goldfish in each of these glasses.
After much planning and no action, I finally went out and bought fifteen goldfish and with the help of two other guys, hydro-flipped them at various locations about the Dining Commons. It went off beautifully! I saw people taking pictures of them with their cell phones, groups of guys pranking each other with them and one birthday celebration tablecloth foiled by the awkward fish-in-a-glass. I also heard from one of the most reliable sources I know that a man from BroHo swallowed one whole on purpose. Girls with compassionate hearts (and a want for a pet) smuggled the fish out of the DC and are now in debt to me 28 cents per fish. Just kidding, free gift, babes. I overheard people talking about it in class the next day and one girl telling my friends how excited she was about her new fish "Gus".
It was quite possibly one of the most amusing jokes I've pulled and definitely one of the most talked about. Of course nothing tops TPing Enya's yard but whatevs. Any ideas for other fine jokes?

The goldfish thing was pretty sweet. As far as "the band" being in my blog's title, it was more just for fun, but after you said that I've thought about adding song files once I've created them (if I ever create them). I put my old recording of "Roadkill" up there for now, but it takes a while to load. Thanks for the good idea. Oh, and in case I don't see you before you leave, have a good trip! But I should see you at some point. Are you going home tomorrow after your classes? If not, and if you'll be around, I might stop by your room tomorrow evening.
No one ever believes me about Enya... Hope you're doing well. Have a great time in Ireland! It's a fun cafe, I went there and saw Michelle and Leanna while on my honeymoon.
lol, that was brilliant - wish I could've seen those goldfish sitting around. ^_~
Sweet help from on high, indeed :) It's His help that's keeping me functioning today. heh.
I'm glad you got there safely, at least. I am sorry that I cannot help fix things up for you. I'd make some calls, but the Irish mafia would want me there in person. They have some trust issues. I hope you get accustomed quickly to the time change and the workload and everything. Are you going to update this blog with Ireland news or will you have a new one?
I SO wish I would have been there to see it :-)
