That sounds kind of dangerous to me. The other ones were good though, I like the one about the engagement ad.

bad jane · 01-15-2005, 10:12 PM

it would be dangerous if you used a ton of them, or had someone who wasn't used to the smell. but these guys are both in ems and use them all the time. the guy had to roll his windows down, and his eyes and nose were burning a bit--but it wasn't extreme.

a couple years ago i went on a school trip to hawaii, well there was this really annoying kid who we fucked with a lot, i feel bad about most of what we did now but it was funny at the time.
One night near the end of the trip we duct taped him to his cot (we were sleeping in cabins of 6) and then covered him in whip cream and sat there next to him with a video camera pretending to be sleeping. took him a halfhour and a lot of confusion to figure out what had happened.
While on the same trip we had a scorpion that we would piss off and then catch centipedes and have them fight. well the scorpion drowned and we stuck it in the bottom of his duffle bag for the trip home.
My friend there also had the teacher who took us make up a noose and then he took that stuck that in the bag with a post card that said "Were watching you". i couldnt have part in that one.

About 5 years ago i noticed a real estate business near where i live that leaves all their open house signs outside in an alley, well i want to take a bunch of those some night and find a nice house on a sunday to post up some Open House posts and sit across there street with a video camera and a mic next to the door to catch the house owners and potential buyers reaction to eachother.
We could never decide whether to do it to a stranger or someone we know though.
one day it will be done

TheWalkinDude · 01-16-2005, 06:58 AM

I was hiking through the desert in South Africa as part of an expedition team. One girl had been pissing us off to our limits for the past two weeks. We put three of the largest rocks we could find in her rucksack. She didn't realise for two days, by which time she'd pulled two muscles and had shoulders that resembled raw meat because of the extra weight. I'd feel bad, but she really did deserve it.

The_Jazz · 06-02-2009, 08:36 AM

I've got a few, but I'll share one for now:

A few years ago, we had a young new broker working with us who was a pretty good guy, even if he was from Alabama. He went out after a work function and met a very nice young lady that he tried but failed to convince to come home with him. They parted on good terms, though.

At the same time, one of our other young brokers, who was the first one's best friend in the office, was working in London on an exchange program. These two would usually talk and email a couple of times a day just to shoot the shit. The first guy told the second about the woman the night before and that he'd kind of liked her. Unfortunately, he mentioned her name (which was Indian-sounding [dot, not woo-woo]).

Well, the guy in London, having some time to burn, set up a hotmail address with as close to a phonetic spelling of the name as he could and email the guy back here. They flirted back and forth until the guy in the US suggested they meet for lunch. That's when the second guy called several of us in the office to get help.

We gathered a big lunch crew (it was a Friday and coinidentally our summer interns' last day) and told the first guy where we were going. Then we set up a big reservation at a restaurant that we'd already told the London guy to get the first to. We got there about 20 minutes ahead of him and got the maitre'd involved (he thought it was awesome).

When the first guy walked into the restaurant, the maitre'd greeted him by name (we'd given him a picture, but he'd been there in the past and was just arrogant enough to think they'd remember him) and took him back to his table. Which was right next to ours. And only had one place setting.

The best part was that he honestly didn't get it for about 10 minutes. He just sort of looked at us while we all laughed. Finally he said, "well, I'm waiting for a date, so I'll talk to you guys later." Someone (maybe me, I don't really remember) asked him what the chances were of someone setting up a dummy hotmail account, emailing him so he'd show up in front of all of and then having all of us sitting next to him and his "date" at a table with one place setting. He ended up storming out and was all pissed off for about a week.

The cherry on the sundae, though, was later that afternoon when he was in the hallway retelling his side of the story about what assholes we all were to the girl that he had a big crush on. She asked the name of the other girl, and when he told her, she vaguely described an Indian girl with the body-type he'd like. Of course that sounded JUST LIKE her, so she said, "I don't ever use the word 'hate', but I HATE her. She was my roommate our freshman year of college and she's the biggest bitch in the world." None of which was true.

take your video camera.. get some footage of the toilet including a flush or two and then during the party, wait for the hottest or shyest girl to use the can. When she leaves pop the footage on the tv and start it. When she walks out she'll think you have a live camera in there and you were watchin her do her business.

You and I have different priorities. You want the HOTTEST girl at your party to LEAVE? Personally, I want her to take off her top and give me a blowjob while my friends and family cheer me on. Unfortunately, your idea might actually WORK.

well considering the hottest girl at the party is usually my wife.. yes I want her to leave

The_Jazz · 06-02-2009, 09:03 AM

I've seen pictures of your wife and now understand and agree with your logic.

Carry on, sir. But not before you send her naked pictures to me. You know, for scientific reasons. Study and whatnot.

I had a very nerdy roommate in college (I'm nerdy too, so it's ok) who had a Lamp Commander set up in his room. Basically, it's a voice activated power strip/outlet that works like the clapper. Say; "Lamp Commander" BEEP beep, "Lights on." boop. "Lamp Commander," BEEP beep, "Lights off." Boop.

Anyway, my roommate (call him B) always had a very messy room, and his habit every night was to go into his room, climb onto the top bunk, turn on his lights and read for a while. One night when he was out, we took the bottom part of a blender, plugged it into the lamp commander, and buried it under some clothes. Some time after midnight, B comes home and sleepily goes to his room. A few minutes later, I hear him jump up onto his bed and say "Lamp Commander." Suddenly the electric motor of the blender kicks on, scaring the crap out of him. He can't figure out what's going on, and since the blender makes so much noise, the voice recognition won't let him turn it off. He climbs down and frantically searches through a 3 foot pile of clothes and books looking the whatever the machine is.

B came out of the room, looked at me, and I just pointed to the other room where my other roommate was sleeping. B marched in, plugged the blender into the wall, put it on high and walked out. My other roommate, who helped set it up woke up confused but then started laughing. B was pretty pissed.

I haven't got around to it, and it's sad that I may not be there to witness the prank.

You know those security tabs that stores with stick to the inside of DVD boxes and on colonge packages? I have a few that weren't deactivated, and I have to remember to stick one in my friend's wallet. hehehe

BTW, Latenter, that was awesome

3GPositive · 06-07-2009, 02:58 PM

Long time ago now but...

The school bully was a mean bastard. Would stab you in the leg in class with a pair of compasses that sort of thing just for a laugh. Group of us decided to he was constipated so we doctored a bar of chocolate with a large dose of laxative and let him steal it. By the end of the school day nothing had happened and we'd kinda given up hope. Next day totally out of the blue we overheard him announce to a group of his mates that he'd "had to cycle home dam fast last night". He was into cycle racing so I imagine he may have broken a few records on his five mile trip home.

Not me but... At university a friend of mine rented a room in a family house. The son of the landlady was a brat, very annoying. He was allways trying to get my friend to do his homework. One day he'd been persuaded to write a short essay in pencil in the kids note book. The idea being that the kid would just write over the words in ink so that the essay was was in his own handwriting (this a few years before word processors). Next day the kid came home in a bad mood because he'd been sent to see the school head to be punished. Apparently my friend had inserted "Teacher has cheesy feet" in the middle of his physics essay and the kid had gone over it in ink without even reading it :-)

Tape down the trigger on the spray nozzle in the kitchen sink. Aim it directly at whomever will be turning the water on. Laugh.

Cielamara · 06-14-2009, 10:36 AM

Get an egg. Remove the yolk. Beat the whites. Use a paintbrush to paint a thin layer inside someone's shoes. Let them dry.

Talk about that weird foot fungus that smells like rotten eggs while around them.

(This works best in the summer.)

ItWasMe · 06-16-2009, 07:50 AM

We had a bowl of fortune cookies in the upstairs office. They were not individually wrapped, so I pulled the paper fortune out of one cookie and replaced it with a small one that I wrote: "Help! I'm being held hostage in a fortune cookie factory." Never did find out who got that cookie.

I used to work for a banking association. At Christmas, we'd get loads of edible gifts from other banks. They'd all be available in the break room for everyone to help themselves to. One bank sent a massive box of Whittman's assorted chocolates. I took a spoon and started taking bits off of pieces, like someone took a bite out of the chocolate and put it back because they didn't like what was inside. I did this with several over a period of about 4 days. Finally someone threw out the box.

squeeeb · 06-17-2009, 11:23 AM

get some ketchup packets, fold in half, put on rim of toilet, rest toilet seat on top. when someone sits down, comedy ensues.

reprogram all speed dial numbers.

if you hate them, get them a subscription to the NAMBLA newsletter, have it sent to their work.

ive always wanted to sneak into someone's room and glue all the furniture to the ceiling, so they walk into an upside down room.
