So far harmless, more or less, pranks. I did worse in college.


Got stories? :-)


I do, but I might corrupt the little 'uns. I was a lookout for when we
stole the bubble lights off a couple of police cars and hung them up in
the college clock tower. I also helped place a grave in the middle of
the school commons, which caused some consternation, filled a dorm room
with balloons and newspaper, piled up a stack of leaves in front of a
stairwell (no one got hurt, honest) so that they had to be removed
before anyone could go upstairs, helped pull a celebrity into a duck
pond, placed computer "chads" in a room mate's bed so that she'd leave
me alone, and a few other things I can't recall off hand. I was a
little stinker.

I remember filling a roomate's boyfriend's car with popcorn. Not the
packing kind, either, but the dripping with butter kind you buy at the movie
theater. This was decades before microwave popcorn, so it took us 2 days to
pop it all in the dorm 'kitchenette' area.

I'm beginning to think I'll be too old to remember the stuff I did back in
the "good old days" by the time the kids/grandkids are old enough not to be
corrupted by it.

Sometimes I get tired of having to act responsible and grownup but I don't
need them following in my footsteps either.

On the last day of highschool, I helped fill my form master's car with the
foam beans you put in bean-bags. Apprantly, even 10 years later, he was
still finding a few beans under the eats, or in the vents, etc etc etc.

The year before us moved *their* form master's car (a mini minor) up onto
the roof of the walkway between two buildings. Coincidentally, it was *just*
mini-minor width wide. I have absolutely know idea how they pulled that one
off, and nor do I have any idea how he got it back down. All I know is that
it stayed there for 2 months, and then, one monday morning, it had gone.

No tricks around here. And most of the tricks (vandalism for the most

is unrelated to treats. It kids out to cause trouble. From rubbing

windows to smashing jack o lanterns to tossing toilet paper into trees.

In the "good old days" they might drop cherry bombs down outhouses or
light
a paper bag of dog poop on the porch of someone they disliked. Or move
the
outhouse onto the front porch.


One year, my brother and his buddies snuck up to the school principal's
house, picked up his car and turned it sideways in his drive-way. It
took him a couple of days to get it turned around.

Another year, we gathered up all the jack-o-lanterns we could and lined
them up facing the principal's office window. He handed out pumpkin
cookies for Thanksgiving.

We also scared the daylights out of the janitor by hanging a helium
filled balloon, covered by a white sheet, just outside the school door.
It was dark when he got to work and it was bobbing and swaying in the
wind and....

Oh, I love college pranks! The one I'm most proud of having
participated in was when a bunch of us dressed up in work coveralls
and drove a plain white van to McDonalds on a busy highway. We got
out and in plain daylight dismantled the golden arches welcome sign
that points into the parking lot. We took it off and loaded it into
the van and drove off. Tons of people saw but everyone assumed it was
a work crew. The sign graced my friend Marcel's living room for years
:-)
