Thought you all might be interested in the latest product of my warped brain, which when combined with the (also warped) brain of my elder son greatly magnifies the insanity. We pulled off a pretty elaborate hoax on our Facebook friends yesterday, where we posted messages and pics as if it were Brandon's birthday and I surprised him with a whirlwind trip to New York City. It was one of the more entertaining days he and I ever had, and we barely left our house!
Pictures and details
here. Enjoy!

I loved it when you ended up in China! I actually let out a chuckle on that one. Great job. :p:

What I want to know is how you had the exact same expressions so many times, except sometimes in reverse.
Nicely done. Quite entertaining. Next year you should spend April 1 in Florida, tell everyone you went to Australia, and we'll take several pictures in different poses in my studio, with lighting to match the different scenes (which you faked very nicely).
Just curious, where did you find the Lincoln quote? :p:

Thanks. And yes, we're already trying to figure out what we can do to top it. :)
The Lincoln quote came from his famous autobiography, "500 Party Jokes for Every Occasion," available online
here. :D:

Easy. Let me do the photography, you do the photoshopping.
