True story! My friend was totally creeped out by those wake up with the King ads,so we made him wake up with the King! The ad starts with some dude in bed waking up after what looks like a rough night at the bar,and he is peeking over from under the covers to see what kind of Coyote Ugly bar fly he ended up in bed with. You know the old 2 at 10,10 at 2 thing! So as he peeks over to see if he needs to chew off one of his own limbs to escape,he is in bed with the King in that creepy effing King mask,and the King is holding a breakfast sandwhich,to which they caption .....Wake up with the King. So my friend tells me how creeped out he was by this disturbing ad,and we laughed about how effed up those King ads are! So a few weeks later I am at work,and my co worker tells me he wants to go to I Party store at lunch and get a Halloween costume for his daughter,so at lunch,we went to that store,and there it was....glowing like the holy grail on the mask rack! The effing Burger King King mask,so I said we have to do it..... we have to make my friend wake up with the King! Knowing that we share a Hotel room at Carlisle,I decided that was the perfect time to make him wake up with the King.So I bought the mask for $15.00,then started to hatch my devious plan. I talked to my friends wife,as she would be to only one who would be able to get into bed with him wearing the mask under a towel she had her hair wrapped up in after taking her shower. So between October and the following July we would all laugh about the planned event,my friend didn't know about. Well as most of the best laid plans go,in the commotion of packing everything up for Carlisle,I had left the mask at home in my other truck. When my friends wife asked me for the mask,I was deeply disappointed to inform her that I had left the mask at home! We were pretty bummed out about it,until I remembered that my other friend was coming the next day,and lives at the end of my street,so I called him to get the mask from my other truck and bring it to the show,which he did. So the following night his wife had the mask and the plan was set. We all get up at around six am,because we vend at the show,and have to get there to setup everyday. So My friends wife got up and quietly woke the rest of us up. She went into the shower while Al manned the curtains,Mike got the light switch,and I had the cell phone ready for his big paparazzi debut. She came out of the shower with the mask under the towel,just as we planned. She climbed into bed with him,took off the towel and lowered the mask into position,then it was time,Al got the curtins open,Mike hit the lights,and I manned the camera! He woke up to the lights and commotion,only to see the King in bed with him,as the cell phone camera's clicked. It was so funny! We had pulled it off flawlessly! It took five of us to pull it off,and almost a year of planning,but it was perfectly executed!
