tatortoddWhich Sigforumite Pulled This Christmas Party Prank on His Parents?
Today, I remembered one of the funniest things I have ever read on Sigforum, but can't remember which one of you pulled it off. Here is my recollection and I believe that I found the photo (or at least one that was very similar):

He is single, took a portrait with his cat, did a little photoshop magic, had it made into portrait size, and then put it in an inexpensive frame.
While he was helping his parents set up for their annual Christmas party he discreetly replaced the art over the fire place with the cat portrait. His parents didn’t see the portrait the entire party, but finally saw it the next day.

SigM4If I remember right that's the actual picture used. Don't remember who it was though.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

TXJIMNot sure you have all of the details perfect but close, I too remember this and it was brilliant. Pretty sure that is the actual portrait involved.

Balzé Halzé^^^ No. That's not the right picture. He had a green Christmas sweater from what i remember. And there was a black and white cat too I believe. The member was Dave. But his handle escapes me now. He CUT was Cat Whisperer.
Hilarious.

TMatsDuring Bo Pelini's tenure as head football coach at Nebraska, there was a Twitter account called "Faux Pelini" that generated a lot of laughs. After this cat picture ran, Pelini himself actually brought a cat into the locker room.

P220 SmudgeThat thread was pure gold. I was thinking about it just the other day. Don’t remember all the details, but well enough that it’s still hilarious.
