Pranks and other fun stuff - not at work!

[thegiraffe]

So I have a pretty....quirky sense of humor. It works most of the time lol (and fits great with my personality). Anyhow - what are some fun pranks you've pulled or other random noteworthy things that don't involve work? Here are a few:

- The legendary shaving cream war. THAT was fun (there's a thread on here somewhere about it)

- Waterfights. Inside. 'Nuff said.

- When my roommate was on her...."throne" earlier today, I said quite loudly "Plop plop fizz, oh what a relief it is!". She responded by telling me that I'm insane. Duh.

- We have a candy dish. Said dish has several types of candy in it, but is mainly chocolate. No chocolate exists in that dish without at least one flat edge that was not previously flat. How did we accomplish this? Chucking pieces of candy across the apartment at each other haha.

I'm sure there are more. What are yours?

On Friday, I pallet-wrapped a colleague to his picking machine.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought him a customized high-vis jacket for work reading "Emo-metal" (he plays the really whiny stuff). He loves it.

I'm planning on a new one for myself reading "Tofu ninja". I'm currently wearing "Uncivil Engineer".

As part of the emo wars going on between him and me right now (I retaliated yesterday with Voltaire's BooHoo album), I drew some dots with a marker on one of the cardboard inners of said pallet wrap and called it my emo flute to play along with his dirges.

On an overnight field trip for school, I once bought some pieces of "fart candy" from a Spencer Gifts and slipped it into my friend's candy stash.

He decided to binge on candy and ate my fart candy while doing so.

As a result, he became the Chernobyl Runaway Nuclear Reactor of Flatulence. You didn't want to be anywhere near him.

We kept yelling at him to quit farting, but he couldn't, and he never figured out how he became so gassy. :roll:

When I was in cross-country and track we often pulled pranks on each other, a lot of us worked in teams to get people.

There was the time some friends and I saran wrapped a teammate's car.
Or the time we found a riding lawnmower in the woods, hotwired it and parked it behind our coach's car
We actually duct taped a freshman to a tree and left him there for a little bit, bout 15 minutes and we did get him down, but we had worse done to us when we were freshman
Chair races in the school
Running through my high school in a large group
Sleeping in band lockers

Then there was my favorite, Mudfights 1 and 2.

Mudfight 1 was just a good old fashioned mudfight where it got to the point that my shirt was too heavy to lift. After the fight we ran through the girls softball field with our shirts off and got things ranging from compliments to "TAKE A SHOWER!" Mudfight 2 was a lot more fun because we not only had a mudfight, we would also slide in mud. We were covered head to toe in mud and we ran around giving girls hugs all covered in mud.

When I was in college, my roomates and I "borrowed" about 3 dozen rolls of plastic wrap and some packing tape. We also had access to many, many, many pounds of those packing peanuts.

So late at night, we went around our floor, taping the plastic wrap to the door frames. The doors opened inward, so there was about a 3-inch gap between the plastic and the door, which was just the right amount of space to insert some of those packing peanuts. When we ran out of the peanuts, we just used the rest of the wrap and completely sealed some more doors.

We saved some scraps for ourselves to make it look like we got 'hit' too. So we finished and waited up drinking until it was time for the cafeteria to open up.

We heard "Gah!" and "Hey!" and "WTF?!" and started laughing. We poked our drunken heads out the door to see the mayhem.

It was even more eventful about 20 min before the first classes started.

Oh, that was fun. I was so stupid in my college days.

Well so many pranks.

Ok a few years back i was visiting a girlfriend and her husband was being pretty well annoying. So we decided we'd wait til he went to bed and return the favor.

While he was asleep we slipped in his room and shaved him a pair of socks.

He had such hairy legs it was very noticeable.:devil:

I did this one roughly seven years ago, and I think my wife still wants to kill me for it:

She was in the shower, and I decided to quietly slip in there with her, wearing nothing but a novelty hockey mask (think Jason from the Friday the 13th movies.) As luck would have it, she was facing where I sneaked in, but she was washing her hair, and had her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes... well, you should have heard the screaming. :devil:


Back in my college days, I played quite a few pranks on people. One of my favorite ones was just before Halloween, and involved a Grim Reaper costume I had bought for the upcoming school party. I had some fun scaring people by hiding around some corner, in full costume, and then jumping out in front of them.

One time, just before midnight, I saw this couple sitting out at one of the picnic tables. Unfortunately, they were facing the building, with their back to the table itself, so there was no way I'd be able to sneak past them with the costume on. But if I walked past them without the costume on, I figured they wouldn't even notice me. It worked, they were so into each other (not literally ;) ), that I don't think they even knew I was there. So once I got behind them, I ducked behind a trash can, put the costume on, and started to slowly sneak up on them. Some girls were watching me from one of the windows in the dorm building, and were silently cheering me on. When I got close enough, I leaped onto the table, and let out a blood-curdling scream. But my scream was nothing compared to theirs when they turned around while I was still in mid-air.

A few days after that, one of my roommates wanted me to scare one of my other roommates in a similar fashion. He even went as far as to turn off the power to the room so that he couldn't turn the lights on. Almost got my ass kicked that time.

In the final chapter to the Grim Reaper saga, a couple days after the party, one of the girls who was staying across the hall from me had been invited to a party, and asked to borrow my costume. She put it on, and then knocked on her own door. By then, everyone knew about my costume, and said, "Oh, hello Mike!" I guess no one noticed that the Reaper had shrunk about 5 inches. Then I walked in behind her, like I didn't know what was going on. They looked at me, looked at her, and said, "Wait a minute? Who the hell is that?"

You are Evil MadMike :roll: Is that a Machete you have there or are you just happy to see me?:ashamed:

Anyway, some of the better ones I have done is

Replacing regular rifle shells with blanks. "Wow another miss, you can't seem to hit anything today.":D

Loading six .357 Magnum rounds and one 38 Special in a revolver. (My .357 is a 7-shot.) Index the cylinder so the 38 Special round is last and give it to the person shooting. If the person has a flinch it is VERY obvious when they touch off the lighter 38 Special. It does help them realise they have a problem though.

Load a rifle for a friend with perfectly safe ammo, give them the gun, then run and hide behind the car. When they ask to give the gun back to you, take it, shoot it, then ask them what the problem was.

Fake bullet hole stickers.:angel:

Unpluging someones block heater.

Fake parking tickets

Writing, "I've got weed" in the dirt on friends car.

Replace 60 watt bulb in light fixture with 200 watt bulb.

Do the above to the refrigerator. (If you can get it to fit.)

I am sure there are others, but I need to get to bed.
