I need some help. I have two Texas a&m fans in my office. I put post-it-notes on one of their desks spelling out BYU and then one of them retaliated by getting our IT guy to put an A&M logo on my desktop. Anyone have any ideas for ways I could prank them back?

Display a sign proclaiming that you're BYU's 13th man.

What? TA&M only has 12? You're kidding!?

Get blue and white washable spray paint and paint BYU onto his car. LOL

Okay just to note I do not condone hacking or tampering with others PC's, that being said, if he changed my background to an A&M background this is what I would have done.

1. Go to the offenders PC when he was away and do a ctrl-alt-del and get his computer name
2. go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx
3. download pstools suite
4. unzip the tools into a directory
5. create a batch file with the following command (so I could just click the bat file after he got his PC booted back up.

c:\pstools\psshutdown COMPUTERNAME -M "GO COUGARS"



I would probably look at the other tools and see if there is anything that could be fun like psexec (open word, calc, excel, ie, and any other programs I could think of). pskill could be fun too! To get the help menu I would type the command at a dos prompt followed by /? so I could see what all the parameters for that command would be.

I think that would be a start. I don't think he would do it to me again.

Hmm...first I would find some more BYU fans at your office. There is safety in numbers, plus it makes it much easier to coordinate efforts.

Obviously he is tight with the IT guy, so, get tight with the office executive assistant if there is one.

I don't know exactly how you'd do it, but he's gotten your computer so go after his phone. If you can somehow get access to his phone system you can change his voicemail so it says something like, "Hello you've reached (insert person's name) I'm a huge BYU fan and can't answer the phone right now. Please leave a message." Maybe days before he realizes it's been changed.

As far as getting into his voicemail, that's where the executive assistant might come in.

It's pretty mean and difficult to undo but I always thought a little milk spilled under their desk does the trick. This also works under the seat of their car (real hard to clean up and smells nasty for a long time) An extra can of tunafish opened up and placed strategically in the back of a desk or file cabinet drawer might do it too.

Go Cougs!!!
