I was sharing this story with JohnDLoudermilk, when I decided it might make an interesting thread:

Back in the late 60's country singer and songwriter Don Gibson was pals with John D. Loudermilk, Nashville songwriter. Gibson was a large man, maybe 6'3", 250 lbs. He had these incredibly piercing, vividly blue eyes. Well, when Halloween rolled round Don rented himself a Dracula costume, got a set of plastic fangs and set off to play a little prank on ol' John D. He slipped into his buddy's house, crept into his bedroom in his best "Bela Lugosi" accent and woke up John D at 2:00am, declaring his intention to 'bite JohnD's neck'. As you can imagine Loudermilk came right out of his skin, damn near scared to death.

Or so the story goes. I met Gibson in Atlanta and I can vouch for the piercing blue eyes and his size.

Anyone have a prank or practical joke to tell?
