Best Pranks?

[SuperBuickGuy]

Ages ago, my brother was in a running feud with the academy dean. One night, after a particularly nasty exchange, he and a friend wanted to express their displeasure to the dean by burning a message in his yard. Unfortunately, the grounds crew knew that nitrogen, while a good fertilizer in moderation, is hell on yards if put in too large of quantities - so it was locked up..... what to do.... there was, however, a large container of Miracle Grow...... ;D

this prank worked so well that you could read the message clearly in his yard for 3 years..... 8)

what have you done (or been related to the prankster)?



oh yeah, and I would never have dreamt of doing such a thing ;D it was my brother who did it!!!!

Re: Best Pranks?

There was a guy i went to school with who had a black dodge ram. One of his friends scratched a giant penis into the hood. It looked so bad, he got his revenge with water in the other guys gas tank.


Luckily i had nothing to do with either prank.

Re: Best Pranks?

I paid for a two year subscription to a magazine that specialized in nude african american men. It was addressed to a teacher I had a disagreement with at the school. It also brought with it all kinds of junk mail. He would try and cancel it and i would call back with change of addresses instead. It back and forth between his house, the school, and the school library for about a year and a half.

Re: Best Pranks?

Back in high school we had a principal that nobody liked that just happened to drive VW bug. Well one day Gym class go out early for lunch and when we went out the back door, there it was, the principals bug. We all got together and rolled it up the edge of the main quad where there was a couple of heavy wood picnic tables. It took about seven or eight of us but we got up on top of one. The school called the cops and two tow trucks to take it down. That was just mild kid stuff.

Not to long ago I got the opportunity to get back at someone that did wrong about a year ago. So I dumped an entire box of moth balls in the tank of his truck. Not only did it destroy his motor it F@#$ed up his new one too. That's when his mechanic decided to drain the fuel.

Re: Best Pranks?

Not a nasty prank - just funny. A bunch of guys in HS (I was still in Jr. High) carried the "We Give S&H Green Stamps" sign from Kelly Lawrence's gas station down to Richardson-Bird Funeral Home in Milford. Kent Bird (son of the director) was rumored to be one of the purps. This was, of course, on Devil's Night.

I wonder how many stamps a decent funeral pays.....

Re: Best Pranks?

A fairly harmless one I pulled was I put a basketball sized snow ball on the roof of our GeoTech's Work Truck, and I just happened to be walking into the office when he was walking out, so I turned around to observe. He got in the truck with out noticing it on the roof, haha, but then saw me standing there watching, suspiciously, gave me some kind of skeptical look and drove off. And miraculously the snowball didn't fall off infront of me. About an hour or so later he comes into my office, "Guess what happened to me driving into the pit?", "What ???", "I was heading down the haul road and I hit my brakes and a giant snow ball hit the hood of the truck!", "HAHAHA *cough* how did that happen?", "Yeah I think you know, I was wondering why you were watching me." Then a couple hours later, I was walking into the office as he was walking out, so I turned around to observe. He got into his truck, looked up and saw me standing there, gave me a suspicious look again, then got out and looked on his roof, hahaha, I hadn't done anything that time.

Re: Best Pranks?

Anti sieze under the door handles, switching plug wires around, a pebble in the valve stem cap, pack flour into the nozzle of a blowgun, wait till an absent minded person is working hard on a brake job and swapping their brake spray for spray paint, dipping the end of a rotary wire brush in grease when the user isn't looking, going cruseing down the highway with one of those toy store radar guns pinging cars with radar detectors....... The high school autoshop is a cruel place. ;D ;D ;D Especially when I am in it.

Re: Best Pranks?

firecrackers under the place where someone is going to weld is a clever one as well (from the sucker's perspective it looks like the world is ending it catacylsmic fire)

Re: Best Pranks?

At our high school car show I pulled the wire off the distributor from the coil in my buddy's mustang when he wasn't by his car. When we we left he shut his hood and started cranking..... and cranking and cranking, until he decided to look under the hood. Later that week he unhooked one of my battery cables, I guess he didn't think I would notice my dome light not come on when it's dark out.

Another time I did that to my uncle's f150 after he shaving creamed my doorhandles, it took him 2 hours to figure it out.
Same uncle, he has a corolla that, again after shaving cream, me and my brother were going to take his tires off and leave his car up on blocks, but the wheels had a special lug nut on them and he started locking his doors after the first incident. So we ended up jacking it up and putting blocks under the car so the front tires were just barely off the ground. My other uncle, Mike, asked to borrow his car, and he doesn't take to pranks as well as Mark does. I thought that situation was even funnier.
Same uncle, same corolla, again, after work. My brother decided to move my uncle's car because he happened to leave the keys in it, I guess he forgot about last time. We pulled all the tractors out of the barn, pulled his car in way in the back, and pulled the tractors back in. Took us over an hour because it was so tight, then left. He had a hell of a time trying to get it back out, especially since the tractor that was actually blocking his car had a dead battery.

Re: Best Pranks?

Amateurs. In the military we take pranks to a whole new level, and without property damage.

We would send new Airmen fresh out of tech school for some prop wash or pallet stretchers, and call the shop they were headed to who sent them on to another, they called ahead and so it goes on and on.

We had a wooden box with foam in it, and a few beakers with stoppers. The idea of this one was the new Airman would walk behind the forklifts and take an air sample of the exhaust, then time and date it with his initials and place it in the box carefully so it would not explode.

One Airman was incredibly book smart but about as bright as a box of rocks for common sense. We had him on the warehouse roof on a beautiful South Carolina day with binoculars on a tornado watch.

We also had them take air samples with large trash bags around the squadron, pull it around like a parachute the tie it off quickly and very tight so it would not leak, then time, date, initial etc.

It is amazing what a bunch of bored NCOs can come up with.

Re: Best Pranks?

I caught a mole in the yard one day and decided to take him to work. Well I got there earlier than a few others and decided to play a prank on one of the guys. Ever open your toolbox and have a full grown mole jump out of a drawer at you? I laughed my ass off for an hour, along with half the shop. Teach him to grease my toolbox handles.

Re: Best Pranks?

I pulled this on in July:

The sales manager here at the office has made a habit of scaring the crap out of me by either sneaking up behind me or creeping up outside my office window in front of the building and barking like a dog. Normally I am reading the website or writing blog items working and am intently focused on what I'm doing, so I jump a mile.

Cut to about two weeks ago when he pulls the same stunt and I vow to get back at him.

Cut to 10 minutes ago when I asked for his company car keys in the name of "checking some info for a fleet dept audit". I quickly disconnected all the spark plugs placed a sign on top of the motor that reads, "woof woof asshole" and am now reveling in my evil genius.

His car is parked outside of my office so when he tries to leave at six I'll be able to see the whole show.

The guy couldn't construct a tower with building blocks so he will be totally flummoxed on the car deal. The payoff will be watching him open the hood to see the sign.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Now....the payoff....

Sweet success and even better than planned.

The victim has to drive to PA tonight for a family function happening tomorrow, so his panic level was through the roof. It was hilarious as I listened to the thing turn over...and over...and over. Then I heard him get out, yell to me through my office window, at which time I was pretending to be on the phone, to come help. I told him I was on a conference call and I needed 10 minutes, but he should pop the hood. He didn't...so I waited the whole time. He tried to start it again.

I told him I was on my way out and to lift up the hood. He did and yelled, "You MotherF$%ker!"

Then I pretended that I broke something and couldn't fix it. He really started freaking out when I told him that the tow truck was going to be the only way he was getting to PA tonight.

As he started dialing his wife, I plugged in the wires, hopped in the car and blasted around the building.

I left the car behind the building and went back to my office. After about 5 minutes he hears me on the phone. "Dude...where the F is my car?" I said, "OH! I thought you were walking home. It's behind the building."

I neglected to tell him the keys were on my desk.


Woof woof asshole indeed.
