My prank will be on steve-o and chris pontius. This prank is also like the taxi prank because it is a reverse prank. Steve-o and chris will think that the prank is they will be pretending to get attacked by a man in a realistic gorilla suit, like the gorilla suit from an episode from mtv's punked.

Steve Johnson, chef-owner of The Blue Room, recommends touching the steaks often and cutting into them when you think they’re done, erring on the side of under-cooking since you can always cook the steaks longer, if necessary. In this video he demonstrates the how to grill steak and tell what stage it's cooked to. Grill steaks and tell when t...
