Man I wish I knew more about that story. That must have been one hell of a prank. It must have been priceless if they pulled it off well!!

A JOKE SO GOOD IT COULDN'T BE PASSED UP.

I felt bad just hearing about it, and I wasn't even there! If I was, I would have been freaking out.

So a day or so before we go into Texas, Buzz tells me that he has a friend there that is a state trooper named Justin. He met him through his friend Adam, who incidentally plays guitar in this band Tool. Maybe you have heard of them or something. Anyways Buzz informs me that Justin had just called him and thought it would be funny to have him play a joke on someone on tour while he was "on the job". This meant that between the two of them, the joke would be that Justin would pull the silver vehicle that carried most of the people on tour and plant drugs on one of them, throw him in his police car, and eventually confess that the whole thing was a joke. Pretty funny, huh?

But a "insider" was needed, someone in the other vehicle that knew what was going to be happening, so Buzz told Jared about it the day before it was supposed to happen..this was in New Orleans. And two mornings later we were off into Texas..Buzz and I were in the van that had all of the gear. Everyone else was in the other vehicle an hour behind us. Boy oh boy...suddenly Justin calls Buzz and tells him to get off of the highway at a certain exit so he can show him what he plans to plant Dale Crover with. Yes, it was decided that Dale would be the lucky fellow. So we pull off and meet this rather large young looking man who happens to be a highway patrol person. Introductions were made and soon he pulled out a small travel bag that had:

two giant bags of fake cocaine.
a small scale to weigh..
a real bag of marijuana. "I just got this off of a kid a few days ago!"

BUZZ AND JUSTIN BEFORE THE HIJINKS BEGAN.

Justin said that he was going to pull the van, search the back of the vehicle, obviously plant this bag, call out Dale and arrest him and throw him in the back of his car. As we said goodbye and he got ready to do the deed, I wondered what everyone would be thinking. I was so glad I wasn't in the other vehicle.

So sure enough, they all fell for it. Wouldn't you? I guessed that even though everyone might be really mad afterwards, just the idea that I wasn't going to be in big trouble or going to jail for ten years would be such a relief that I probably wouldn't be too upset.

They are going to get Buzz back, though. Somehow. "What could possibly top that?" Buzz asked.
Oh, I don't know..they'll think of something I am sure.

AWESOME

[pinkyslim]

I love Buzz's sense of humor

[GrimReaper]

That would have made a great episode of Punk'd.

I would have broken down and started crying.

[Idlehanz]

To bad it wasn't recorded....

[glen]

why dale as the fall-guy though?

a genious twist when jared or coady would have been the more likely "hazing" targets.

[anaconda]

buzz did the opposite of the expected. hence, brilliance.
too obvious to haze one of the new guys, had to be dale.

[GrimReaper]

Wonder what Dale has planned for Buzzo?
