Y2K 1999

 I can't believe I never blogged this one. 

It's probably one of my greatest practical jokes ever.

(heh..well the one that I can confess too at least.)

If I wasn't working, I always volunteered to babysit all the farm kids so their parents could have new year eves to themselves.

The year was 1999 and it was 1 minute to midnight, and we were all in the library at the farm. It was all the farm kids, and I think a few friends, I had my camcorder, and I was standing by the sliding glass doors filming the action.

We had been speculating on the BIG change and betting on if Y2K was going to crash human civilization and set us back 10,000 years.

We followed the plan set out for us by the rock and roll gods. We were partying like it was 1999...cause well it was. We were all drunk on apple cider and chips.

everyone held their breaths and 

1!  and I used my shoulder to turn off the light switch next to me.

Pitch blackness swallowed us all up and the kids erupted into screams.

The camcorder footage would later reveal the kids/blackness/and shaking footage of the floor from uncontrollable belling laughing as I turned the light back on.

oh yeah, Y2PajaK nearly took out all of them LOL
