As I read this I kept wavering between "these people are losers," "This would have been funny," and "that sounds like something we'd try on the Cellar." (I suppose on further reflection these are not mutually exclusive.)

I also can't decide what was stupider, trying to plan something like this on a forum with open public registration, or signing up for the forum with your real name.
