Strange Prank Confuses D Magazine Staffers
At the end of one hall up here at the D empire hangs a painting of our logo. You can see part of it here, in the background, behind Kidd Kraddick. But when we got to work this morning, something looked different about the red “D.” As in, the painting turned blue. And the “D” turned into an “H.” In the picture you see here, Wick is adjusting the painting (never mind the bowling pins; it would take too long to explain). Someone took a lot of time to paint this “H” on a canvas and then fit it over the “D.” I assume it’s an April Fool’s Day gag. But here’s the thing: none of us gets the joke. To what does this “H” refer? WTF?

Houston?
Highland Park?
Tim = rhetorical
Making fun of the new DMN font?
Hell
Sesame Street is brought to you by the letter H

Heathens? Hypocrites? Haters?
Hi! (but it must be in an East Texas accent- for Nancy)
I think it’s got to be Highland Park. But it shoulda been HP, no?
Hores?
Hoi Polloi? Wait, that’d be HP. Wait, HP is Highla… never mind.
It’s a silent H
East Texas would say, “Hey.”
Hysterical (not really)
Hooters
High Jinks
Horseplay
Half-witted
Harebrained
Hokey
Hollow
Hoodlum
Hooligan
It’s for High Density Urban Area, Wick’s latest assault on the dreaded “Metroplex”.
Hillary!
Hullabaloo!!!
Huh?
First thing I thought of was a typical street sign denoting a hospital nearby - big white H on a blue background.
Houston?
HOWDYTOWN!!!!
Folks, I don’t care how you get here, just get here!
Hominahominahomina.
Since it is only a single letter, we know it wasn’t done by Sandra.
sandra crens-H-aw
Healy … Rogers Healy
T(H)anks, Tristan?
Gotta be Houston, they want the rivalry
Hilfiger? Tommy’s taking over the building again? D moving to Wick’s townhouse?
I have an old sweatshirt from my college days with a crimson H on it, and I never knew it stood for either.
It is really just the letter “I” taking a nap… and we know that means, there’s no “I” in “Team” but there is an “e” which, in the alphabet, comes just after the replaced letter “D”.
- I really can’t believe I had to explain all that…
Maybe Wick finally got smart, and will publish a magazine about a city with far more to offer - Houston!
H for Hot Links, as in Earl Campbell links, which go great with a little cactus juice. Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmm.
haughty
H is for Hurley
Hdnet. Must be Cuban’s doing…
East Texas would also say HOWDY, “FTS” and then find out who did it.
Should have been an “S” for Southlake since D loves it so much! So do I!
It’s gotta be Houston…isn’t there, like, a rivalry or something?
You got it Good Riddance!
Halitosis
*cough*
Hammer
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It stands for HOSPITAL.
for sick politicians and p.r. people i.e. Laura Miller
Local Politician buys Magazine Empire:

We’ve checked key card access files. They show that our CFO was the first person through the doors this morning. It wasn’t him. No entries between then and midnight, when the cleaning crew came through. Doubt it was them.
Wick is now offering $100 to the person who solves the mystery.
Looks like an inside job by a former D staffer. My guess would be Kelly M. Miss him.
Omar wins the thread.
See Danno’s entry at 2:14. He’s a fine freelance photographer for us. Though I think he put that together after the fact.
Fess up, Danno.
I left at 6:30pm last night and our beloved letter was unsullied. Anyone see a BMW motorcycle with a “I Heart Key West” bumper sticker on it after 7pm?
The back of that thing is sewn up tighter than a chastity bundle. Take a look.
Ok Tim
Your right, H doesn’t stand for Hurley.
D stands for Danno. Right?
“H” stands for Hallway, obviously.
I think MIssing Dots got it at 10:10am.

It’s Huckabee, for Wick’s donation?
What the hell does “We don’t care how you get here, just get here” mean anyway?
And I also have no idea what “If you find a better deal anywhere else, we’ll just give it to you.” It sounds like they’re saying they’ll match the deal, but that’s not exactly what they’re saying either.
So are you ever going to tell us?
Mike, don’t forget the most important part:
“TRUCKS TRUCKS TRUCKS TRUCKS TRUCKS TRUCKS TRUCKS!”
A blue “H” (Houston) as the antithesis of the red “D” (Dallas)??? Was this an obscure IQ test?
D = David
H = Hopkins
Clearly, you want me.
Can you please explain??? Or can we go back to Sandra Crenshaw or something fun???
What the “H”ell?
Halbreich, as in Jeremy?
