A colleague of ours is not at work today and he's got a mostly empty creamer container. Being the jack@$$ that I am :-D I'm obviously going to substitute the contents of the container. Suggestions so far: flour & salt (flour won't dissolve though) Powdered Ginger Ground White Pepper Ground sugar. Any suggestions?

But this isn't college and this is a PG board so I will keep them to myself. Actually, if you really want to go all out add real creamer + alum. It will be hard for him to detect why everything is going so wrong. (BTW, http://www.fda.gov/opacom/laws/fedatact.htm)

Hehe, I was wondering when someone was going to ask me that. My official name is "Steven-Mustafa Ismail Mustafa". Steven-Mustafa being my first name, Ismail being my father's name and Mustafa being the Family name. If you're wondering why Steven is there, its because my mother is a Canadian and so am I :). Well, half and half (my other half is obviously Arab)

Judging by your suggestions so far the "creamer" is actually that petroleum based powdered shit, if that's the case I don't really see what you can put in there that's any worse than that stuff. I suggest real cream just to freak him out.

Fill the container with some form of sci-fi inverse reality serum. As he puts his hand in, the container morphs into an inverse world, with its own ecosystem and population. Remove the hand and the jar reverts to creamer. You could have a whole world in the container, heards of micro-wildebeast trapsing across the creamer looking for watering holes, their young, eager to drink from the cool water careless of the hidden croc that is always there. Just as the croc pounces, your mate puts in his hand, pierces the inverse reality envelope and the baby wildebeast grows teeth the size of a Toyota Micra, and the tables suddenly turn. This time it is the croc that is dragged kicking and screaming onto dry land, David Attenbrough hiding behind Kate Ade, commentating on the whole affair. He removes his hand and the tables turn once more. Out on dry land, the croc, whilst less stable suddendly gets the upper hand and the baby wildebeest attempts a retreat, only to get its feet stuck in the creamer where it got wet from the splashing of the croc as it was ripped from the water. A quick glance across the watering hole, and there is David Bowie, face painted slightly clown like, singing Ashes To Ashes. Your mate puts his hand in once more, and the inverse reality becomes sentient, and has a mind of it's own. No longer will it be kept in a creamer jar, it infuses itself into your mates arm, and his arm becomes a living world for the denizens of good and evil. Epic wars are fought, won and lost between his elbow and wrist. Years melt into millenia on the arm, as just a few seconds pass in yoru friends meagre life. The croc and the wildebeest are a distant memory.... That would be fun.

Yes, passing on the joke altogether.

Arm -n- Hammer Baking Soda You're welcome.:-D

If you could get a bit of vinegar in such that it spills when he uses it... that would be great. Vinegar + baking soda = woosh! And wouldn't ginseng just make him think his coffee had extra kick today?

Actually baking powder will foam on contact with water. This might produce an interesting effect, though I've never tried it coffee.

I dunno. You can't get much worse than creamer anyway. Anything else would be a bonus. Bob: Mustafa, thanks for substituting my creamer with anthrax spores. I never realised how awful creamer was until I tasted the bliss that was anthrax. *cough* Got a mild cough coming on *cough* Must have been all those years of creamer *hack* *cough* *cough*, thanks again. (If you must persist then how about baking soda?)

The real trick to using baking soda is switching the water with vinegar. If there is any way he can do that it will be a great prank. Also the vinegar, if ran through the coffee maker without any coffee grands will help give the coffee maker a good cleaning.

Arrowroot - a white powder used to thicken sauces. Wallpaper sizing - a powder used to make a glue/filler for smoothing walls before wallpaper is hung. Cream of Tartar - an acidic powder derived from residues of winemaking. Plaster of Paris, or any other plaster/putty sold in powder form. Have fun! By the way, if you have access to his coffee mug, dip the rim in the juice from a jar of jalapeno peppers and let dry. Repeat often to build up a coating on the rim.

Another vote for passing on the prank. Perhaps the joke won't be dangerous this time, but there always seems to be the need to "up the ante" to one-up the other guy. Eventually prank contests always end up dangerous. If you are lucky, something goes wrong and someone "almost" gets hurt/ill and you all feel sorry for having done it and go on with life. If you are not so lucky, you end up causing serious problems. You aren't in High School anymore, leave his stuff alone. Plus, there is nothing short of rat-poison that is worst than artificial creamer, and even that is debateable. If you want to seriously harm him, just buy him a fresh can of artificial creamer and be done with it. That stuff makes nuclear waste seem safe.

I do not believe they are right who say that the defects of famous men should be ignored. I think it is better that we should know them. Then, though we are conscious of having faults as glaring as theirs, we can believe that that is no hindrance to our achieving also something of their virtues. - W. Somerset Maugham My New Blog

Wonder why I got voted 1 for asking you this question? Honestly, there are some genuine cranks posting in this forum. They remind me of those little dogs that bark their arses of whenever someone comes too close to "their" property, yapping and snapping at any little thing of which they don't 100% approve of. Think I should leave a doggy-treat with every post, maybe that will divert their attention from the actual post. Anyway... Is it a custom to add your fathers name and your family name to your own name? Is this the name on your ID book/passport? Meaning, is this your official name? I also inherited my name from my father, and generations of men before him with that same name.
