I was thinking about this today when I was watching a TV show where these kids had wrapped a friend's house in toilet paper. Did anyone ever do that to someone or play any other kind of practical joke? As far as I remember, I never did.

Um.......I have but, it belongs in the freak file I think. ;)

The Graduating Class had a tradition and the next year students were always up to the challenge.

We would have our grad dinner and dance in late May and it was always followed by all night parties at various locations. The Vice Principals house had been targetted every year. Yes toilet paper all through his trees etc.

We knew that year that he would be staying up all night. His daughter was in our graduating class so we had the full insider scoop. I don't know how we got past him - he must have fallen asleep sometime in the night but about 20 of us that could actually walk ran around the neighbourhood gathering up every lawn ornament we could get our hands on. These of course were all over his lawn... but....
The crowing glory was that earlier that year the art club had made a life sized Pink Panther (who was our mascot) and it was placed in the lobby. It was just too tempting. Of course some students took it and plastered the shorts and part of the body with beer labels. Pinky was the centre piece of the lawn.

Thanks for the thread I forgot how plotting and devious I used to be LOL.

Well, when school ends here, there´s only a ball ( for and with the parents...yuck :D ), a speech by the headmaster in the auditorium before getting the final report, and that was it. No crowning of the queen and stuff like that (I only know such events from the movies...).

The last week before we got the boot, we had a lot of free time between the lessons, and needless to say we sneaked over to the supermarket to snatch a few beers (and some mints... :) ) to get into the right mood for the final day. During on one of these hours we hung around in the cafeteria zone of the hall when we noticed that a small car would perfectly fit between the posts there...it was the Ford of the biology teacher which ended up as the main target for our little evil plan.
Bribed the janitor with a sixpack to look for a while elsewhere, and with the help of 30 students, we carried the car from the parking lot into the hall. I´m still wondering today no one caught us...took half an hour to move the car from there.
After we did our bad deed, we sat back in the cafeteria, waiting for the bell to ring for the break and trying to look as innocent as possible. The bell rang...and soon that Ford (it was a Fiesta, for those who are interested) was surrounded by half of the school. Everyone laughed, except for the owner of the car - after a lot of cussing and threatening from her (!), we carried the car back to the place it stood before. She even tried to expel us from school for that last week, but the headmaster turned it down...guess he laughed the same as we did.

That was really a riot, it even went into the local press - but only as the teacher was accusing us we had damaged one fender of the car. To avoid further hassles, we just shut up and paid the bucks (in fact, we took every possible care as we actually feared it would crumble to a heap of rust when we lifted it from the ground). Nonetheless, it was big fun... :D

WAVE!!! OMG, That was hilarious!

The only thin that comes to mind that I did,was while on lunch break we snuck back into the school and put toothpicks in some of the teachers locked doors and than broke off the ends of the toothpicks.
They had to call a locksmith to get into the rooms. :D Over the loudspeaker they announced that,"whoever did this had better reveal themeslves." I was never known as a prankster so noone suspected me! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/AZZANGEL.gif

The week before school ended, i put stink bombs in my teachers desk and pulled the old glue on the teachers chair trick :D :D :D

Someone used to but an announcement in the box everyday. We never grew tired of guffawing when the severely in need of sex Mrs Jackson would announce "..and finally would Mike Hunt please come to the office."

Totally juvenille but it was good for a laugh.

I used to come home to an empty house, and am an only child. I had to be creative when I was bored. I'm sure your all aware of call waiting? Well, I dialed one number, clicked over quick, and dialed another number. They would both ring, and once in a while both parties would answer at once. That was hysterical it would go something like this.
"Hello?" "hello". "Who is this?" "Well you called me." "No, my phone was ringing, and I picked it up and you were on the line." "My phone was ringing too. Isnt that strange?" I would be the third party listening in on it, and trying not to laugh. It was pretty funny, too, when one person answered and the other phone would be ringing. They would be so confused. You could hear them saying "Hey, honey. I picked up the phone, and its ringing on the other end." :D

We played truth or dare when I was little. Someone ALWAYS dared someone else to go to a neighbors house and ask to borrow toilet paper because our mom or dad was on the toliet and didn't have any. Jeeze, our poor parents! :rolleyes:

LMAO!! Acutally, in barber school we had a guy named Mike Hunter!! Being we had a dingy receptionist, we were able to get her to ask for Mike Hunt over the intercom. :rolleyes:

Which reminds me... We used to take the drawer handles and unscrew them most of the way, just so the looked like they were on. So that when you went to open your drawer the handle came off! :p

That year in Barber school was the best! ;) *sigh*

LMAO @ Imsooosure !

I did quite a bit of decorating with toilet paper in my youth (still do every once in a while). I remember one night before Halloween we strung it across the road in our community between a street sign and a mailbox. Most people would laugh and drive through it, but there was one uptight little old man who got stopped his car, got out and started yelling at the top of his lungs about how we were littering and causing so much damage, etc... We were hiding in the bushes so he looked like he was just yelling to no one. He broke the toilet paper string from across the road and put it in his car before he'd drive thru. Like it was going to crack his windsheild or something? Heck, we used Charmin!

One of our prettiest decorating jobs was for my ex-boyfriend's parents' 25th ("Silver")anniversary. 25 is silver, so we used about 1000 square feet of aluminum foil and wrapped everything we could find in their front yard in foil: trees, bird feeder, little goose statue, garden hose... It was quite festive when we were done.

Hmm. In eleventh grade, my friend J-P and I "decorated" our friend's car in the school parking lot... a giant, green, four-door Pontiac, vintage 1977. We put toilet paper, yogurt, (don't ask) spray snow, (appropriated from the decorations closet in the principal's office) and artfully arranged autumn leaves all over the hood and the roof :) :) Our friend did not think it was very funny! We couldn't figure out why... oh well. ;)

J-P was the valedictorian of his class and I was second or third in mine, I forget, so we could generally get away with pulling stuff on teachers & the administration. They just thought we were cute. We also did things like switch all the furniture in one classroom for another... what we could move, anyway. We kidnapped our physics teacher's comfy chair and left her complex ransom notes for a week. We also took the portrait of Edmund Taylor (poet) down from the wall in our English teacher's office and took him on a road trip around the state. We took pictures of him at all the local tourist sites, made him sunglasses, etc. Oh yeah, and we glued April's high heels to the wall in our band director's office. I have pictures of that. ;) 91-92 was such a fun year.

Oh, I almost forgot! J-P went to M.I.T. for engineering, and went on to participate in many of the more well-known M.I.T. pranks of the 90s, like putting a police car on top of a building. I like to think I helped him train for that, LOL.

Wavemaster, the Ford Fiesta story is just killing me. Fiestas are funny in any context, but LMAO!! Thanks for the laugh!

I, along with some other friends, used to TP one of our other bud's house just about every weekend, much to his parent's chagrin. Another little prank we used to pull back in high school was stealing reflectors out of people's driveways. There was this one house that must have replaced their reflectors fifteen times in a year!!! I can only imagine what they must have thought... :mad:
