Looking for prank ideas

Sneak into someone's room while you know they're out drinking, and leave a condom wrapper and a condom with a little bit of baking soda and water in his bed. Also leave something like an emptied pocket-size bottle of hand lotion or somesuch, if you can find it, and a note with something like "Had a wonderful time, I'll call you. -Butch" or the like.

Or, if you can spare the money, superglue a Thor to his door.

[quote="Drigovas"]Long ago heard tales of someone replacing the targets pillow with a hardened bag of cement [just hose down a regular bag of cement] inserted into the pillow case. I'd advise against doing this. Understand that the target just gave themselves a solid whap in the head when they went to lay down, but this just as easily could have been one of those people who enters bed with a flop.[/quote]

Yeah. The unsafe version of my light bulb trick is to inject a small amount of gasoline into the bulb.

Uh... that's not a prank. That's what we call a booby trap. It's also called a felony.

As long as you're doing things in the spirit of fun, I'd avoid anything that involves explosions, fire, or potential use of the phrase "Oh god not my hands."

step 1: Find ant hill
step 2: Find vacuum
step 3: Use vacuum on ant hill
step 4: Empty vacuum into middle of target room.
step 5: Leave.
[optional]
step 6: Drink self stupid because of massive guilt surrounding action.

My DM, with whom and with whose girlfriend I was watching a movie, fell asleep shortly after the movie ended. So his girlfriend and I covered every available inch of skin with D&D graffiti...except his nose. We colored his entire nose green.

Absolutely.

And it actually came from my annotated version of the Anarchists Cookbook, back in 1989, when I found it in the basement of a house I was renting back in school.

(Later, I saw this "felony" in the original version of the movie The Longest Yard. - it was how Caretaker was murdered).

It was also used against Freddy in the original Nightmare on Elm Street (though technically she used Black Powder instead of gasoline).

Simple, but effective: reset their alarm clocks to go off at a quarter to five in the morning, very very loudly.

Kidnap their Pet, and then bring them some "Home made" Chinese food. Be evasive about what the meat is, and giggle a little every time they say something about the chicken. Don't actually Eat the pet. Unless you're into that sort of thing.

Either that, or get their car, and move it down the street slightly. Then move it more and more in random directions every night, untill you culminate in putting their car on the roof or somewhere else rather strange.

I used to carry a self-inking stamp that said VOID. I'd stamp it on the foreheads of people who passed out drunk at parties. Drunk frat boys were favorite targets.

grab three pigs, grease them up and label them 1,2 and 4 and let them loose in a building.

Ah yes, that one's awesome. (I once had an idea involving a wizard's school where three students summon three succubi to do that with ...)

Funny, We did that with three possums, but skip the grease, and add feeding them a ground up No-doz (Caffine, basicly).

My grandfather got expelled from college for releasing a greased pig.

As for pranks, some of the bad ones we had were things like people randomly flipping the circuit breakers and the ever popular piss in a sheet pan, freeze it, remove it from the pan, and slide the sheet under someone's door.

I recommend taking a picture of someone's room from the doorway, printing the picture out a large scale, and taping/gluing it to his door so that it appears open when closed.

I also recommend replacing someone's monitor with a similar monitor modified to be a fish tank. As for kidnapping small animals, if anybody kidnapped Bitesize (my chinchilla) I would hurt them severely, no questions asked. The only thing preventing their demise would be the necessity of locating my chinchilla. People are very protective of their pets.

Fun computer tips! Install the program BootSkin (it changes your startup loading image) and use this ( http://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?s ... 2&libid=32 ) as the loading image. Also swap the mouse setup from right to left handed in the mouse options (which reverses the button setup) and tweak sensitivity.

For super wacky fun times, consider changing startup noises from various pornographic films. I recommend this in particular: http://thatvideosite.com/view/953.html

I would recommend against tampering with food products, as people may have allergies you don't know about and nothing spoils a good time like anaphylactic shock. Also avoid pranks that can permanently damage property of the dorm, such as beds and the like. They charge out the ass for these things. It cost us well over 500 dollars to get a broken window fixed.

Don't forget the things you can add to a room. Fun is planting a creepy looking clown statue in someone's closet and then unscrewing the closet light so it is barely illuminated aside from its haunting gaze.

Kittyboymuffin · Post by **Kittyboymuffin** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 9:10 am

I still say unleashing greased succubi would be more fun. ^___^

Oh, speaking of sound effects, anyone know where I could get my hands on a halfway-decent version of the Wilhelm Scream? Or would I have to, like, get my hands on Distant Drums and record it from that? ``

at the bottom of the article is a link to a .wav file

I haven't checked if it is "halfway-decent", though.

Wraithguard starcaller · Wed Jan 31, 2007 8:16 pm

a favorite of mine has always been to steal all their clothes while they're in the shower.

Clothes, bedsheets, towells, etc.

anything they could feasibly use to cover themselvs. Take it.

Can;t be done En Masse, but sniping people with it over a month or so would be fantastic.

planting stray dirty panties in their beds is also good, and since you're working with the girls on this one, not difficult.

plus, if you like the smell of any of them in particular, you could always keep it for yourself, Doublebonus.

Don't worry, your chinchilla would be safe.

They make terrible kebabs.
