Foiled!

That's right. My team and I tin foiled a fellow designer's cubicle. So here's the background: a fellow designer left for vacation this past week. He intends to return the Tuesday after Christmas. What he doesn't even know yet is that my boss, fellow designer and myself used over 500 square feet of tin foil and wrapped up EVERYTHING in his cube!

The pictures don't do it justice... We wrapped it all -- his phone, the mirror, his headphones, his hat, the action figures, the papers on his desk even the trash under it. We started around 3pm Wednesday afternoon and spent 3-4 hours wrapping. Then on Thursday we spent the entire day finishing it up.

$25 of tin foil and only 1.5 days of time ... not to shabby if I may say so myself. You can view all the pictures here:

Note - I'll be setting up a webcam and recording his reaction when he returns so SSSHHHH! don't tell him =)

This is fake, if you guys were designers you would be on macs (Yes I can tell). But wait, if it were a fake you would be unbelievable photoshoppers and thus, good designers. I can't win. Nice job.

<i>These pictures have been floating around the net for years. This didn't happen last week and these aren't your pictures. Plagarist and a liar.</i>

That claim would carry a lot more weight with a link. I'm just sayin'...

and they say people who mark and track dollar bills (through the website WWW.wheresgeorge.com )have a lot of time on their hands.

Good job.

What the? Come on man. You missed a spot. The chair wheels. You're KILLING me here. Good stuff, that's crafty. I'm currently working on a device to unload a ton of bouncy-balls on one of my co-workers. Good times.

That's not a prank, that's ART!

More fun:

1) Saran wrap across the "door"
2) Fill with packing "popcorn"
3) Enjoy.

Old prank.

Take it one step farther...cover your entire department with foil, and when he comes back, have everyone at the office dress in the stuff too!

[Billy]

Old prank. Yawn...

[Perplexed]

Um, OK. What a waste of material and time though.
