KSL

So- i've never really been big on pulling pranks for april fools day- but the night before the blessed day- Steve and i were laying in bed laughing our heads off (maybe we thought it was so funny because it was so late)but we were crackin up about how funny it would be to put my family's belongnings up for sale on KSL giving the respective owners phone number. I can only imagine what the phone calls sounded like. Let me just tell you- i am the worst liar in the world so it was very hard to be able to make it last an entire day-let alone a few hours. here are some of the things we posted for a steal of a deal.

My dads lovely and prized posessioned chickens ( which i got an email for just moments after being posted ) "why do they want you to get rid of them? that's sad. they are beautiful looking hens.. and the salt Lake City council approved the ordinance allowing backyard chickens in salt lake city, yesterday. that's too bad that your kids don't want them . "
Apparently they got calls nonstop from people wanting them

Gotta love facebook- this is what the status' of a few of the owners put up -(less than an hour of being posted which means they were getting calls)
Amandas beloved Beyonce
Whoever is trying to sell my car on KSL, very funny, but Beyonce is not for sale.



Shawnas prize winning intergalactic Saturn



Masons dazzling prizm



Lauras buckin bronco camry
Whoever put my car on KSL is HIL-ARIOUS


Spencers babies- Brandy and Monica (yes those are their real names-dont believe me? check their tags)
Spencer J Stout My pugs are NOT for sale and NOT being given away... Whoever is posting these KSL ads...guuurl I will cut you....oh yes I will


Paul and Courtneys baby- i mean their dog Maui




within the first 5 minutes they were up- laura and masons cars had already gotten calls on them- somehow they immediately knew it was us! (freakin bad week to not have my phone) Steve started getting texts asking if it was him but he just played it off like he had no idea what was going on-here is a conversation i had with laura on Gchat only moments later (since i dont have my blasted phone and internet is my only form of communication with the world)
Laura:are you part of this sham?
Alana:Sham? what are you talking about?
Laura: selling all our stuff on ksl- the chickens, the cars... i know tim is behind this but i think he had help from the inside
Alana: yeah what the crap is that all about? Our 4wheeler got posted too! that is hilarious tho- dads chickens!
(i played it off pretty well...)
i tried to blame it on tim- saying he would deny it to his grave- so that it would get them off my back (for those of you who dont know tim- he is a very hilarious, prank loving cousin of ours who tends to get away with the most ridiculous things in the world.)
Anyway Dads chickens and Spencers dogs already had like 65 views before it had even been on for 30 minutes!.... i love this site. not only did it make for a good little trick for April Fools Day- but it also has brought many a sweet thing to our house- we have bought and sold tons of stuff on it. great way to get rad stuff for very affordable! if you ever question the power of advertising on ksl- if this hasnt proven it to you...nothing will.

  2. That is totally hilarious! Jenny and I feel left out that you don’t didn’t play the prank on us as well, because we would have thought it was the funniest thing ever. What the heck! Oh well. I guess we must not be cool enough....

  3. So i didn't actually realize that I was part of this charade, but that was only because no one wanted my little baby. Not one single call for the old girl. Haha- i had no idea until now i was up there too

  6. wow that's so funny! Paul and I thought we didn't get included in this (and we were kinda glad :)) since we didn't get any phone calls. Guess nobody wants Maui at all. ha ha. Are the ads still up there or did you guys delete them?
