Senior Pranks?
 

Its nearly time for Senior Pranks. What are you planning for this year? What are some of the best you have heard... besides the Cow on the roof and vw bug.
Mine will be great and probably one of the funniest and most original you have ever heard.

what happend with the vw bug?

Anyone for tires over the flag pole?
Or the chickens in the hallway?
Or the cemented shut gates to the junior parking lot?
Or the *censered for fear of discovery by teh administration*

Releasing three greased pigs in the main hallway of the school, right at class change.

The three pigs were numbered "1" "2" and "4"

The administration spent the entire day trying to find "3" ...

Put it up on the top of the school, on the top of the little equipment shed that housed the elevator equipment, so it was at the very highest point on the building (and inaccessible by cranes). It took ten people armed with large planks and a lot of rope about 1-1/2 hours to hoist it up there at 2:00am.

It took a full week for the building managers to figure out how to get it down.

But I disavow all direct knowledge of any of these events :rolleyes: (but somewhere I do have the picture of it from The Washington Post when they covered it).

Can you find said picture by Thursdays meeting?

i go to an ag school (for those of u who dont know, it means there a lot of classes involving animals), and for as long as ive been around this town, the senior prank that EVERYbody wants to do is to release all the cows/chickens/pigs into the hallways. The closest anybody has ever come was the class of 2000 shaving "2000" on one side of a cows fur and "RULES" on the other.

District pranks...
 

Let's see... filling the commons with sand and putting someone's truck in there... last year the seniors were going to release crickets in the ventilation - but decided not too. Oh yes, then there is the smiley on the circle. The main part of our school is silo-shaped and one year (long ago) the seniors painted a big smiley face on the roof of it for thier prank. Yea... you can still see it from arial pictures taken years ago :D That was by far the most remembered prank!!

- Katie

Can we say we had stoopid people who spray painted stuff about illegal substances and cause a good 10Gs in damage and people got arrested? Yeah, no more senior pranks for Blacksburg High School.

Although not strictly "senior pranks" some of the very best pranks are the "hacks" that periodically take place at MIT.

The "Great Dome" on top of Building 10 in the middle of campus is a favorite target. Some of the best hacks on the Dome include the campus police car on the Dome and turning the Dome into R2-D2.

But my very favorite was when Dr. Charles Vest arrived on his first day as the new president of MIT in 1990, they managed to hide his whole office!

--------------------------

I'm not impatient. The world is too slow.

Dave, may I be the first to say that I may be one of the luckiest prankers in the world for having such a master be my "Jedi Master." You and I need to sit down and talk sometime....

Two from my senior year, nothing big. One day the teachers showed up to find all of their "teacher's" text books superglued to their desks.

The other one was a bit more clever. Someone(s) left a trail of fake blood down a hallway in the auditorium/drama area, sort of secluded. A realistic trail, thin in some spots, heavier in others. Some bloody handprints were smeared on the walls (rubber gloves were used, no fingerprints). The trail ended in a pool of blood seeping out of a locked storage closet. Because of the secluded area, it wasn't found until the begining of first period (and the two students who found it were sent home to calm their nerves). The school called the cops in because no one wanted to be the one to open the door, not even the security guard. There was, of course, nothing in the closet but some old drama props and costumes. And the police quickly deduced the blood was fake, but not quick enough to stop the rumors... Some people, to this day, still believe there was a police cover up. Fools.

An urban legend in her own mind.

I would also like to listen to the master. Dave never fails to amaze. Also, any tips on things to avoid or avoid would be good as I am a senior...:D
Not that I am planing anything...

Dave i really like your pranks. You are a true master.
But my prank(s) for this year will be great. I can not reveal them because they will be ruined by a member of my team who is on this board. But i will release it in late may. One of the pranks does have something to do with bagels.

Teacher encouraged pranks are the best kind though :)

I was on our High Schools newspaper staff and because of this had a great relationship with the schools print shop. There is only one print shop for our entire district of at least 10 different campuses mind you. One of the assistant principals had taken to censoring our newspaper and it was getting to be quite a pain to have to edit out stuff every single issue. So, I go out to deliver the disks so the paper can be printed and Shirley, the head lady in the copy shop, informs me they are about to throw away over 6 YEARS of hole punches that had been sitting in the machine, you know the little circles after they 3 hole punch the pages, needless to say I call all the teachers that have been mad at this principal and they agree that we should let all those little circles go to waste, I had about 20 some trash bags full, I couldn't even fit them all in my Honda accord at once. He is still finding little circles to this day, one teacher even took every box of tissue he had stored in his office and put some in between each tissue in the box. It took days to clean up, and the campus police never suspected the teachers or me. In addition to the little circles the teachers used a fan to blow up trash bags and packed the office full of them once all the dots were in place, you couldn't even walk in. Not that exciting but the mess it made was amazing.

If I have learned anything, it's not too be too proud of a prank Ever. And especially before you've done it...You notice how Dave never admitted to doing any of those, and if you notice on those sites, no one ever admitted to doing those.

My other thought...now, are the best pranks the ones that are truely on the spot and without planning, or the ones that require a large amount of planning? The world may never know...

For whatever reaosn, I have a feeling that something with much planning will happen this year. Don't ask me why, I just think so. We shall se if it happens.

You guys really think we're planning something big don't you?!?! Why?!? I swear that nothing has been going on in my brain about any prank!

I meant at Herndon, but I guess it applies to this situation as well...

Anonymity is a virtue. Or at least it should be. If it's a harmless little prank, like replacing someone's mouse ball with a fireball, or changing their Brad Pitt wallpaper to some really hideous person's picture, well, who cares if they knew who did it (just be prepared for the follow up prank). But if you are doing something like having a "delivery person" from a "florist shop" deliver a long-stemmed rose box full of live crickets to someone at work (at a restaurant during the dinner rush), do not let your name be connected with it at all (the person who did this to this day regrets doing that to those poor crickets and would never do so again). And especially keep your name out of any prank that will result in the police or security being called in, even if there is no legal action that can be taken against you, I'm assuming it would be very embarrassing. If you are connected to it, you have to take the consequences be what they may.

As to whether spontaneous pranks or planned out pranks are better, it depends on the prank.

Oh, and Wetzel, repeat after me, "Nothing is being planned." Do you want to get them in trouble?

Smile, and admit nothing.

Dave where are you staying for nationals?

AllStar...I don't remember, but on Disney.

WHY would any sane person ask, and WHY would anyone answer, in reference to this thread???

For those of you that are left in wonder, I will explain.

Now, if any prank is done against dave (I am just abit smarter than to think i could get away with a prank against dave) he will know it was you.

Now, for the second part.

You shouldn't have answered because now, if a prank against dave happens, revenge pranking will be taken against you.

Just a thought.

But now you look like you are covering your tracks...

The thot plickens...

What about pranks for Nationals??
 

I need a really good prank to play on my team at Nationals and I can't think of anything. Does anyone have any ideas?? I need some help!!!:confused:

I dare u.....
 

I dare u to even try.....

Re: What about pranks for Nationals??
 

Heather -

Find me at the Buckeye Regional, and we can talk (I'll be there without my team, so we won't be overheard).

Bring a neoprene wet suit, five pounds of chicken feathers, a "Zagnut" bar, three Slinkies, and a roll of duct tape.

I have a few ideas....

-dave


p.s. oh, yeah, and bail money (just in case)

Re: Re: What about pranks for Nationals??
 

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Re: What about pranks for Nationals??
 

I also dare you to try, plus any attempt on me, or my roomates...well "the original prankster" may just have to return the favor...:D

Dave,

If Humphrey agrees to go to Florida (and LA) with you, aren't you going to be worried something may happen to him? I mean, you've set yourself up as a prime target for any prankster wanting to test his or her mettle. And pranksters always want to test their mettle.

I'll admit, I want to see a prank played on you, you're arrogant ;) But not at the expense of Humphrey, poor flamingo.

Sorry,

Humphrey's already been pranked...I hope Dave brings some of the pictures :D

Not Humphrey! People can be so cruel... I know of two who would love to see Humphrey birdnapped but I told them I would not be part of such, um, fowl play.

A bird in the hand will often leave a mess...

This I suspect is true. Since two of my pranks have had the police called in, I have sort of retired from the "business" of major pranks. Yeah, chicken, I know, but sooner or later, I would have been caught...

She who pranks and runs away, lives to prank another day.

In my school which is an agg school, the main building for us normal people is seperate from the agg building. The agg kids really make me mad when the come into there normal classes because #1 the smell bad and #2 they act dumb.

Ok on american pride day the took down the american flag and put up the confederate flag, and cut the rope so we couldent get it down til later in the day. I was soo mad because we live in CT and that was sooo rong too do.


I want to get the agg kids back really bad somehow. I just havent figured out a good prank on them yet.


Any ideas are welcome.

Aggriculteure, the FFA and stuff like that.

And yes they all get u know what on there shoes, or have poor hjene, and the doo smell

And none of them are smarter then the average bear if u know what i mean. Hello there i dea of fun was takeing down OUR US FLAG and putting up the Confederate one, cumon that is sooo not cool.

At least maybe they can write in a complete sentance with correct grammer. Don't mean to be mean, but the shorthand drives me nuts.

sry, im a buysy person and i dont have time too write an essay. Not to be picky but some peoples messages could be soo much easier too read if they used a little more shorthand ok.

still how can i get them back

What about changing the morning announcements to be a cause of alarm, by telling the school that there is a virus in the school and nobody can leave or something like that?

That comming from an offical source would proll cause a panic.
Now something like a 'National Hug Day" and making everyone hug the person next to them might be amusing...

soo what. Panic good!

A purple cow?
HAHAHAHAHA

ok dude i know about the hole thing about how it dosent mean slavery and whatever, but too these kids it really does. Its really not cool the way they act. I understand what ur saying but trust me your wrong, that is the way they feal, and what they say, personally i think that is disgusting, and that is why im against the "agg kids"

elephants or zamboni's
 

Well, though neither seems completely do-able, these are my two big ideas....

1.) Rent/borrow/steal a zamboni and run that through the halls. An inch of chemically-altered water throughout the halls would be hilarious.

2.) My school has a fully enclosed courtyard. If one could rent/borrow/steal and elephant that just barely fit into the courtyard (through the doors) and feed it excessive amounts of food all weekend, there is no way they'd be able to get that elephant out of there anytime soon.

What's scary is that my first idea is far more feasible that I first thought, according to a few sources. Heh heh heh.

Mouse balls
 

The one year someone stole all the mouse balls out of one of the computer labs...It was kinda funny cause all the teachers were like what the heck happened...Plus this was back when I was a freshman so the seniors were done but we still had stuff to do in our computer classes

It is also possible to replace them with a placebo... like gum-balls or fire-balls. Which are both Colorful and edible!

----

I wanted to get this one out into the open, maybe someone else can do it...

One day a bunch of us seniors were hanging out... and we came-up with an idea. You get a -beep-load of the little dixie cups, sneak into the office before school, and cover every flat surface with them. Printer tops, shelves, the floor, chairs -everything-. The real catch is... you put a centimeter or two of water in each cup. So they have to empty them one at a time.

My class decided not to do this one, but maybe someone else will.
----

-ducky

ok here it is the best prank ever...

if you have a multiple level school you can do this. get yourself a cow (or maybe a couple cows). walk them up the stairs of the school. (note: cows will go up but dont like to go down).

now if ur up to it you can get youself some pigs and run them up the stairs.
(note: pigs have a very very lovely aroma about them and tend to make everything smell as good as a pigsty)

One of my all time favorites: you get 12 of those foil cupcake liners and staple them together in 2 rows of 6. Then you place them on someone's desk, next to their computer (well, it doesn't have to be next to their computer, but that makes it more interesting). And then you fill those little foil cups with water. If you want to be nice you can leave them either a sponge or a straw to give them an idea on how to get out of that mess...

parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus

living in delaware, I don't have access to many cows or pigs. I do however have leads on a couple of senior pranks.

the engineering students at UBC (the university of british columbia) yearly have the best senior pranks. on their campus, they have a huge clock tower. on this one particular night, everyone went to bed as usual. the next morning they all woke up to find a volkswagen bug (one of the vintage) affixed wheels in towards the clockface. not just held there by ropes or cables, this thing was welded on. the kicker part is is that the clocktower is about a hundred and fifty feet tall. the closest crane that big was three hundred and fourty miles away, on the site of a new library being built (by the state, and being as UBC is a state university, they're not too likely to volunteer their crane to deface their own property).

The next year, also at UBC, a volkswagen bug ended up on the underside of the bridge connecting the engineering campus to the rest of UBC. the bridge is a hundred feet above water that is another seventy feet deep. the bridge spans across the river a collosal 500 feet, and the car was stuck smack in the middle of the bridge. no crane would be accessible to get at that angle at that spot. the car in this case was wheels up as it was affixed to the bottom of the bridge.

more locally, a group of high school students caulked their entranceway closed at school (a glass one, with double doors inside) filled it with water and put fish from a nearby pond into it.

I think that's enough to satisfy your interests for now

Simon

Simon,

Review the thread and go to the MIT "Hack" site and just look at some of those....

hehehehehe

Thats funny, esp the one with the caulked door aquarium. btw, what school was that?

archmere

that would be funny, especially seeing the kids try to get the gumballs out.
unfortunatly that would not work at my school, all of the mouses are light sensor mouses. :( :( :(

oohh a high-tech school, That's something you don't see too often. We still have crummy Compaq's with "evil inside".

hey, theres a few donated gateways and DELLs too

****donated****

means we dont want it nemore

I hear you Ducky, we are big pimpin' wit dos old compaqs too at our programming lab.:cool:

I remember hearing a story about seniors that put a car in the middle of Freshamn Circle (Which is in the middle of the school) The really funny and stupid part of it was there were cameras and the ppl that idd it didn't even wear masks or anything, I don't get y that was a prank though. The only ppl that thought it was funny were the ppl that did it. The part that sucked was instead of the adminastration making them roll that car back on out they made them pay for a crane to come and get it. Sux2beThem. :p
