Chris Kirk laughs while walking through the front room of his apartment, which his friend, Luke Trerice, decked in aluminum foil. Kirk had gone out of town and let Trerice use the apartment, giving Trerice the opportunity for the practical joke.
The walls, ceiling, cabinets and everything in between now shimmer with a metallic glow, thanks to a prank by Kirk's longtime friend, Olympia native Luke Trerice.
Trerice, who lives in Las Vegas, and a small group of friends draped the apartment with about 4,000 square feet of aluminum foil, which cost about $100.
No detail was too small or too time-consuming.
Trerice and his friends unrolled the toilet paper in the bathroom, enveloped the bath tissue in aluminum foil and rolled it back up again. They covered Kirk's book and compact disc collections but made sure each CD case could open and shut normally.
They even used foil to encircle Kirk's spare change -- each individual quarter he had left atop a living room bookshelf.
And they left silver Hershey's kisses sprinkled throughout Kirk's home, sitting on bookshelves and kitchen cabinets.
A lone book titled "Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends" was untouched.
