Give a friend a box of crayons with all of the Rangers' colors in it (Red, Black, Yellow, Green, Pink, Blue, White) 2. Turn around and put your hands behind your back. 3. Tell the friend to choose one crayon, to symbolize a Ranger, and put it in your hands so you can't see it. 4. Secretly scratch part of the crayon lightly with a fingernail and casually bring that and up to your forehead. As you raise your hand, glance at the color of your fingernail. 5. With your hand on your forehead, act as if you are trying to concentrate really hard. 6. Amaze your friend by telling him what color Ranger he chose. TECH-Y TRICKY Go to a friend's house and install the Power Rangers screensaver when he's not looking. Then, wait until the computer is inactive... GROUP PERFORMANCE Get a group of Power Ranger fans together -- you must all be in on the joke except for one person -- and then say something that makes no sense like: One Rangers said to the other, "How do you teleport?" and the other Ranger said "With a communicator" and the other Ranger said "What's a communicator?" and the other Ranger said "It's something Billy made", and Billy says "Well, I'm not exactly a toaster". And, then you all crack up and the clueless one starts to laugh too, even though he has no idea what you just said. REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE Call a friend and disguise your voice and ask, "Is Kimberly there?" and they'll say "No, you've got the wrong number". And, then call and say "Is Billy there?" and they'll say "No, you've got the wrong number." And, then call and say "Is Tommy there?" and they'll say "Sorry, you've got the wrong number." And, then call and say "Hi, we're the Power Rangers -- did we get any messages?" SLAP-ON-THE-BACK SIGN Put a funny sign, like "I'm the Pink Ranger" or "I'm the White Ranger" on the back of somebody who (supposedly) hates Power Rangers. ********************************************************** **** TODAY'S TOP TEN LIST by Jason David Frank (WhiteRngr@ranger.com) Here they are, the ten things you didn't know about Marx Okman... 10.
