This post has been a few months in the making. My mate Josh and I, have had a slow ongoing habit of causing trouble for each other, teasing each other, and playing practical jokes on each other. Its a guy thing.

Many of you might remember the last time I pranked Josh, his undies ended up frozen in a milkshake container in the freezer. Unfortunately his parents came and visited his house before Josh and his wife got home from their holiday, and saw the metal container of frozen water, and took it out "because metal looses its shape in the freezer". All Josh ended up finding was a metal cup over some wet undies in his sink.

But Alas, my hand has been forced again. This past Saturday night, while the girls were at a Hens night, Josh and I went into North Sydney to a pub for dinner. On the way he told me that my girlfriends birthday was comming up this Monday the 26th of June. I freaked. I knew it was on the 26th, but I thought that it was July. I spent the whole night worried, because I now only had 2 days to find and buy a present. To make it worse, he said Fi (his calendar wife) had told him that Lou's birthday was this Monday, and who can argue with the mental calendar of a wife? And it her birthday WAS this Monday, why hadn't she said anything? Was she testing me? Seeing if I remember important dates?

This could have been the biggest test of the relationship to date. So I was understandibly worried.

Turns out I was right, And Josh was deliberately messing with my now worried and panic-striken mind. And may I also say, he enjoyed messing with my mind.

So I now present 'Just add water - part two'.

Step one, take a water bottle, (in this case Mt Franklin) and fill it with water. Take the spray top off a windex container and wash it. (We dont want to freeze windex now do we? The post isnt called 'just add windex' is it?)

Then take a large pair of undies. The bigger the better. In this case, it was an XXL pair from Lowes in Hornsby. It also helps to write the victims name on the undies, to denote ownership of the massive undies.

Step two involves laying the undies down on a flat surface in the freezer. Something preferably water-proof. (As an added note, it helps to soak the undies in water first, before laying them down in the freezer).

When the undies have frozen a little bit, take the spray bottle, and give them a little spray every 40 minutes or so. I find spraying is best, because you dont want to undo all that freezing action thats been going on. You are just trying to add water, a little at a time to freeze. If you do soak it all the time, the water runs everywhere, and freezes everything else in the freezer together. A fun prank on its own, but it doesn't help with our objective.

Step 3. After a few hours of spray-freezing, take pictures of the undies in their frozen state in front of a large mirror.

This way, if the undies victim say, fools you into a night of panic by saying your girlfriends birthday is a month earlier than it really is, you have some stupid prank to post on the internet.
