Bring On The Midgets!

I do not hide which holiday is my favorite. No, it’s not Christmas, Easter, or my birthday; my favorite holiday is Halloween. I guess it has to do with my involvement in the entertainment industry and getting to play dress-up for a day and be a goblin, ghoul, or gay fashionista. And the fact that it’s an acceptable excuse for beautiful women to dress like hookers doesn’t hurt, either.

Anyway, I’d have to say that my second favorite holiday would be April Fools Day. Three years ago, I pulled off a massive prank on my MySpace blog, where I convinced several of my friends for most of the day that I was going to be a new cast member on SNL. So far, that is my biggest prank to date. Mostly because I don’t have the time, energy, or money to pull something really big off. Maybe next year.

In honor of today being April Fools Day, I’d like to share with you an email I received a few days ago:

Thanks for your time in writing us!  We’ll get back to you in two shakes of a lambs tail!  Have a great day!

Hello,

I am interested in renting some of your midgets for an evening. I am attending a film award show for which a film of mine has been nominated and I would like four midgets to carry me into the theater on a Egyption style chair. I would also like to have two midgets walk behind me and carry the train of my cape.

The event is this Saturday evening in Hollywood. Please contact me as soon as possible so we can confirm. Price is no issue. I want my peers to be envious of me.

Thanks,

Aaron

Alright… so, who’s the wise-guy that sent this to Tiny Entertainment on my behalf? It’s obviously someone who knows me, judging from the fact they submitted my cell number. The curious notes are that they didn’t submit my full name or use my standard email signature. So, this is someone that knows me, but not enough to have gotten every detail right.

The part I am confused about, is was this a harmless prank, or someone maliciously trying to sully my name? My friends (who all wish they had thought this up themselves) think it’s harmless and in good fun. So far, I haven’t found the culprit, but I will be planning my revenge for once they show themselves. With a prank this good, they can’t go on forever without taking responsibility.

On a side note, I haven’t heard from the midgets yet.
