Pranks from your youth

[johnny green balls]

post em here.

i think i've told this here once before but here it goes. my friends and i hated this one kid so we spent a couple weeks calling all these service companies to come to his house all at the same time. we called roofers, plumbers, painters, landscapers, pavers, gravel delivery companies, window cleaners, tree removal guys, contractors, clowns, caterers, piano teachers, carpet cleaning specialists, chimney sweepers, any and all companies that would do housecall without being paid in advance or a free in-home estimate. we scheduled everyone of them to come between 2 and 2:30 one saturday and then camped out at my friends house across the street to watch the action. a lot of the companies probably knew we were kids and didn't show but right around 1:45 they started streaming in. they kept coming, and coming and coming. this was a success beyond our wildest dreams. the entire street became a parking lot as a we created a huge traffic jam in the subdivision. there were dozens and dozens, maybe even over a hundred, cars, trucks and vans all trying to get to this one poor family's house. for the next hour we watched exterminators, deck builders, septic tank cleaning companies, swimming pool service companies, interior designers, and firewood delivery companies clogging the streets and milling around wondering what the hell was going on. The first dozen or so who rang the door, the family was shocked until they realized they were the victim of an insidious prank. after about 20 minutes, they had enough and put a sign on their door (we couldn't read it from my friends house and were too chicken to go read it) but i'm sure it explained they were the victims of a prank because most of the rest of the arrivals left without ringing the doorbell. our original plan was to call the cops at the height of the panemonium and report a buglarly at the house, but we wussed out. needless to say, this was a helluva way to entertain yourself one afternoon when you're a 12 year old kid with no money.

now let's hear your best!

yeah, well, i will need to check the statute of limitations on some of my pranks before i publicly divulge them here. Some of my stunts would get me 2-12 with good behavior.

[joewilly]

I didn't do it but a guy I know had a load (20 yards) del'd to another guys front lawn. the guy freaked when he got home.

get this, his retaliation was to sneak to the guys house & leave a garden hose running at his front door late one night. carpets etc had to be replaced. these were friends mind you & they remained friends even after the truce.

[SouthernJet]

I told my kid about a great prank by having service companies show up at someones house all at same time. I said between 2 and 2:30 is best.

Then on appointed day when he was out between 2 and 2:30 I wired and bugged his bedroom.

[Green DNA]

Put dog sh!t into a paper bag, place it on somebodys stoop, set it on fire and ring the door bell. The unsuspecting neighbor comes out, stomps on the bag and proceeds to get sh!t all over his shoes, pants, stoop etc. funny stuff, good times.

[drago]

This was a failed attempt, but it was a great attempt none-the-less.

My friend and i had been talkinga bout this for years, since were probably 10. by the time we were seniors in high school we sacked up to go do it. the La Crosse zoo has this island where it keeps the monkies, with a nice mote (spelling?) around it. we had to run through a mile of graveyard, hop a couple barbed wire fences, but when we were in we through a rope over the trees of the island, and tied them down to the fence in an effort to free the monkies. the rope ended up slipping, and falling into the water. i was fully prepared to swim in there and get it, but the monkies turned Congo style and starting freaking out. then the guard's house light went on, and my friend and i had to run. the monkies remain to this day, waiting, wishing to have been freed into the hills of la crosse.

my biggest failure in life was that night.

[Jet Moses]

Geez, I did alot of rotten sht; tore all the whites off a clothesline and stomped them in dirt; poured gasoline into a fishtank; burned a tree fort to the ground; stuck a hose in somebodies mail slot and turned it on; stuck "time bombs" (m-80 with the fuse right before the filter of a lit cigarette) on window sills; threw beer bottles on somebody's lawn I hated(smashed several on the sidewalk)...

I have some other stories that will require narration.

There's a few things I did as well that I'm too ashamed to admit that I did.

[Sperm Edwards]

The upper-decker is a classic that never gets old.

One time I tried doing it at a house party. Partially missed the upper deck. Half of it went on the seat. Well I wasn't in the mood to clean it up. There were 3 girls standing around waiting for the bathroom as I walked out. Walked out of the house before getting killed.

[BP]

I was in Vo-Tech in high school taking up air conditioning and refrigeration.

we used to clog the bird bath sink with paper towels and dunk other students buttocks in the water..we would then turn the container of refrigerant upside down (liquid form) to super freeze their asses.I also put soldering flux on the chair of a substitute teacher,it ate right through his pants.

I also used to stick firecrackers in shaving cream on garage windows on mischief night (bad bill parcells)

I also used to stop for hitchhikers,and then take off after they ran up to the car.

That's the lighter ****.

[Mavrik]

Haven't done anything huge, but the last one I pulled was about a year ago. I work at a Ruby Tuesday here in Tallahassee as a waiter and it's like Friday's where you have all that crap on the wall like pictures and baseball mitts and crap like that. They call them "relics". Anyways, the restaurant has cameras all over the place except for one place in the restaurant where the closing waiters work. After I got done with a closing shift, I took an old jock strap from high school ball, wrote "To Ruby Tuesday, Never Give Up on your Dreams" and then scribbled a signature and nailed it to the wall. Put it up there figuring it would get noticed and taken down, but it stayed up there for 7 months. Funny part is the managers assumed it was put up there by the company that puts the s*** on the walls, so they left it there. Wasn't taken down until someone from corporate saw it and said something.

[Kidhuman]

Well, myself and two friends were sitting around smoking a fat blunt deciding what to do. We came up with a few ideas. We thought about mailing 2 roaches in a box to someone, because in a few days when they got it and opened it, a few thousand roaches would have scattered everywhere.

Well, what we came up with was this. There was this guy who we hated, his name was Brian. I sh*t in a shoe box, gift wrapped it and left it on Brian's girlfriends porch with a love note from him.

Well, the next day we find out that the girls mom took it in the house and set it on the kitchen table and they opened it while they were eating breakfast.

I think it was a damned good prank.

Other things we did was buying a dozen Dunkin Donuts Creme Filled jammies and smashing them on peoples windshields. We would do the same with Nachos Belle Grandes and Bean Burritos.

[Kidhuman]

One other time, where we hung out at Forest Park in Queens was by a golf course. So about 4am I hopped the fence at pooped in the hole. We sat around and watched the first people sink their putt around 7 and then reach in for the ball.

[Smizzy]

In HS I convinced the majority of the senior class lunch to go to the nurses office at once claiming the fish sticks were bad. 14 people went home sick that day. 2 got suspended!

I had the honor of being in both groups!

[The Troll]

I once pissed in a guy's shoes after I showed up late to gym class.

I also had said piss-filled shoes hurled towards my head an hour later whenever we went to dress back in.

That's about all I can mention that isn't a federal offense.

Dangerous. The guy getting it coyuld be busted for possesion of drugs and the Post Office could trace it back to you and you could get trafficking narcotics..

[124]

I once pissed in a beer bottle, but it in the fridge at my friends house and instead of him drinking it his girlfriend did... boy was that fun to explain that it was the kid who had left previously.

SJ brought the upperdecker to JN many years ago.

I think I recall Max complaining about an upperdecker in the JN executive washroom. Was that you???

I think the funniest one we did was against a rival High School. Their school sat on a hill and they had huge rocks that spelled out the school name. Late at night we would go up there and change the rocks around. After they got destroyed in a basketball game we change the letters to the school that beat them then another time we changed them to the score of the game. The final one we went up and spelled out Alk with the rocks. When the sheriff came and questioned me the next day I just simply told him I would have to be an idiot to put my own name up there.

[NJ]

One of my buddies had a Brindle Boxer - Toby. Ole Tobe would drop a duece that was at least the size 6th grade kid's - maybe bigger. About a week before halloween we would start saving up some of Tobe's better offerings in an old milk crate and prep them Halloween morning with a light spray off the garden hose, wrap the best ones in old shop rags, and those who were un-neighborly during the year got a Tobe-turd rubbed thoroughly into their screen doors. Those at the top of the list got a screen window bonus.

Oh jesus, I have a boxer too so I know first hand that even by dog standards a boxer's $hit is foul.

I'm telling you man - the hardest part was trying to stay quiet because whoever had to carry the goods kept repeating "oh man" and everybody else was losing it laughing.

[JerryK]

I hear Smizzy and Max used to sneak out at night and go people-tipping.

Of course. After a Corn on the Cob eating contest.

[Boozer76]

My friends and I used to oder pizzas to my neighbors house and hide in the woods to egg the dude, some arab guy for Dominoes. One day after egging him we heard him shout he was calling the cops. We lined up about 20 bottle rockets, tied the fuses together and mounted them to fire right into the driveway. Sure enough the cop pulled up, got out of his car, and was greeted with 20 bottle rockets flying right at him with a barrage of eggs coming over the fence. About 10 cop cars were dispatched throughout the neighborhood chasing us down. We managed to egg 2 of them as well before getting away scott free.

HAHAHAHA!! Good stuff. We did that one halloween. We were egging everything in sight when the cops came up to our group and said that the cops and their cars were fair game but not to throw any at anyone or anything else. That was a bad move because within 30 seconds, none of them could see out of their cars. They decided that enough was enough and told us that if they caught any of us out after midnight they were hauling us in. Sure enough, 12:10 we're getting ready to attack the local fast food establishment when we hear squealing tires. Sure enough, there was the 5-0. We threw whole cartons of eggs at the building and took off. I ran as far and fast as I could until I got to a hotel. I was a chain smoker at the time so I was completely out of breath. I found the nearest car and dove underneath it. The cops cruised by with their flood light on but didn't see me. I was able walk home at my own leisure after that.

you were either smoking at 12 or were the most immature 20 year old of all time. either way, kudos to you sir!

[Alk]

you were either smoking at 12 or were the most immature 20 year old of all time. either way, kudos to you sir!

I think that was my junior year in high school if I remember right.

[ECURB]

yeah, well, i will need to check the statute of limitations on some of my pranks before i publicly divulge them here. Some of my stunts would get me 2-12 with good behavior.

I was thinking the same thing... lol

you were either smoking at 12 or were the most immature 20 year old of all time. either way, kudos to you sir!

Many lawns fell victim to my first car... thats all for now... I dont want to get myself in trouble... lol... I used to wake up to my mom going... "why the hell is their grass practically growing out of the bottom of your car!"

[Bugg]

Stealing mailboxes, garden gnomes, pumpkins, Christmas decorations, and the ultimate prize, lawn jockeys. Would place them on the front proch or deck of a friend.

I got blamed for not telling on my brother for this stunt. Dad comes back from fishing with a sand shark-may be 2 feet long.Why he brought it home, can only figure it was the mid-1970s and "Jaws" was all the rage. A SHARK! Dad goes out to have a few pops and leaves said sand shark on back porch. Brother and friends-around 12-13-place said shark in neighbor's little girls' swinning pool and yell to their house"Hey, waht's in your pool?". Needless to say neighbor figure it out quick, tells my dad and I get punished for not telling. What are you gonna do?

[JerryK]

Oh, alright I'll post the one I know about. My older brother actually did this.

The asst. principal at our school was the enforcer. He dealt with my brother a lot. He also lived down the road.

My brother and his friends hunted, so they humanely obtained a skunk and removed the bag/tank whatever holds their stinky stuff.

They tied the bag shut with a long string, and put the bag in the principals mailbox.

Then closed the door.

Then pulled the string.

[TheShow]

man u guys are great, I never did anything big, just dumb crap for somthing to do, put condoms with mayonaise in them in peoples mail sots. mail boxes, car ect..ect..

what I was know best for was blowing **** up. I would take a 2 liter bottle, toilet bowl cleaner (the works) and tin foil, u tear little peieces of tin foil off and crunch them up maken them in to little balls, put them in the bottle, then put about an inch of toilet bowl cleaner (the works is the only kind that will work) put the lid back on, shake it up. then place it in whatever u want to destroy. we would destroy about 100 mail boxes every hollow ween, we put one under a car, and the smoke from the bomb ate the paint off the car in places, kewl as hell LoL. oh and this dumbass mexican that lived accross the street from us left his door open as he took his kids trick or treating one year. so we put a 2 liter bomb in his fish tank! blew the S.O.B apart! LoL fun stuff.

[Big Al NYC]

I went to highschool in New Canaan, CT, a real snobby town in Fairfield County.

Anyway, one day I was driving home from school with some friends, one of my buddies spots a freshly killed squirrel on the side of the road. We pull over, he takes a piece of newspaper, picks up the roadkill, gets back in the car. We're driving along the road, roadkill hanging out the window, when we come across these two women standing by a mailbox.

Now mind you, these were 40ish women, dressed like they had just come from tennis practice, probably wearing more makeup and jewelry than you would see walking down Fifth Avenue.

My buddy tosses the squirrel as we drive by, the damn thing NAILS one of the ladies right in the chest.

It was disgusting. And hilarious.
