So I am now in the middle of a large prank war on my dorm floor. I wrote all over my buddies car windows, with window markers, drawing penises, and writting vulgar things. Well another buddy snitched on me, so now I am going to be hit hard this week. Any suggestions as to how I avoid any pranks, or how to get him back if i do get hit?

Hide the markers in someone's room. :)

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS:
1. Do your pranks solo or with someone you know won't rat you out. (The person who rat you out is no longer your friend. Don't trust him/her again.)
2. Visit your local chem lab and learn the many wonderful applications of solutes and solvents.
3. Hide under a cardboard box like Solid Snake.

I already "disposed" of them. ;)

If you really want to get someone good try the jar of kimchee trick. Just hide it somewhere in there car or dorm room. Somewhere where they won't spot it right away. After just a short time the smell from this Korean gourmet will bring most to there knees. Good luck..:D

PS: don't forget to open the jar before placement. ;)

powdered milk in the bed. they sleep, it rubs into their pours, they shower, it turns to milk and goes sour. the smell lasts for a while.

Wouldn't they feel the granules on their sheets and cotton on? Besides, that would assume that they don't wear pj's. Which could be a valid assumption, I don't know.

Never trust anyone not to rat you out – you never know when someone might get drunk and let something slip.

Here are a couple good natured pranks for ya:

A minor little annoyance is if you are in apartment style dorms, go to the electrical box and trip the circuit breaker for the water heater. It is a mild joke, and easy to fix when someone gets around to checking, which usually isn't anytime soon. Everyone just grumbles about the roommates using all the hot water. If you are lucky you can do this one repeatedly and after a while they might just call maintenance (who will never find anything wrong) but put up with cold water for weeks.

If you have individual toilets, put a dye pack in the fill tank. Good for just a ‘gotcha’ prank when you don’t want any damage done. I found it useful for overly-sensitive people who can’t take a joke.

Buy a thing of talc. Dump some in front of their door and blow it inside – it is a very light powder so it will end up settling over the entire room. An entire bottle of talc will make a nice coating over everything – just make sure the victim isn't allergic. Also beware of doing this to an asthmatic, as that gets nasty.

Get a tire valve puller and pull the valve cores out of their tires and screw the caps back on. It doesn’t do any damage and is easy to put back, but is amusing when they find that their tires are flat.

Getting into the nastier pranks…

Replace their shampoo with nair. Depending on what brand they use it might be difficult to do this unnoticed. You will have to use a mixture of their shampoo and some nair – this will not get results right away, but over the course of a week or two you will notice a difference if they haven’t figured it out. Weaker solutions will take longer to work, but are more likely to go unnoticed. Let’s face it, if they figure it out they will be paranoid about it and any such pranks will be useless in future – so go on the safe side. Since their hair will start falling out over the course of 2 weeks they might panic and go to the doctor, so be sure to make sure they don’t freak out too much.

Familiarize yourself with gorilla glue. Nuff said.

As a last resort you can always use the worst ‘prank’ in my arsenal. This is only when the animosity turns to complete rancor.

Buy some anchovies. Gain access to the victim’s room. Remove the cover plate over the phone jack, cable hookup, electrical sockets, whatever. Stuff in as much anchovy as possible and replace the cover plate. Make sure the final appearance is absolutely identical; make sure there is not any excess oil seeping out. Who thinks of checking inside the wall sockets when their room smells like something died?

None of my victims ever figured this one out – one of the rooms was left empty the second semester (despite a housing shortage) because the smell was so bad and they couldn’t figure it out. Be warned, it is only as a last resort against someone you truly despise, because the smell gets into everything. Everything they own will become tainted with the smell of rotting anchovies.

To avoid pranks: Don't sleep. Don't move. Stay perfectly still and watch the door to your room. This might become uncomfortable after the first few days.

Practical advice: You're fucked. The best you can hope for is that your dorm buddies have enough sense not to destroy your valuable shit. Just in case, try to come to some understanding with them about what is out-of-bounds. Remember to laugh. It helps. :)

listen to this man

I just got him again. I silly stringed his door. I wrote "I like boys" on there. Give him a swift quick to his "manliness".

On another note, I hate printers, and the government.

You are evil. Me likes :D

How very... juvenile.

As to Entropic Creation, I have actually done the anchovie. Let's just say one of my old roommates pissed me off so bad, that when I moved out into another dorm, I planted them around the room. He deserved it. Trust me.

Some fun pranks:

Water balloons filled with colored water. Put them under thier pillow/covers. Best if they are the small ones, that don't need a lot of water to be filled(Less noticeable).

Itching powder in a person's towel can be fun, though doesn't always work.

If you live in a cold climate, a rather vile thing to do is egg someone's car in the middle of winter. The eggs freeze, you can't get them off, and if you try it peels the paint. I wouldn't suggest doing this.

The talcum powder prank is a good one. Another good locked door prank is to take an LP cover(if you have any) and spray a bunch of shaving cream into it. Then slip the open end under the target's door(making sure it isn't too tight a fit) and then jumping on it. The shaving cream will explode out into the room, making a delightful mess. :)

Note: As a good counterprank, if you know the door is too tight at the bottom, you can get someone else to do the jumping and watch his face as the lp cover explodes and splatters the walls and floor around him with slippery shaving cream. :)

We also pennied his door today. It makes it near impossible to turn the door handle, and thus get out


it was hilarious :D

powdered milk in the bed. they sleep, it rubs into their pours, they shower, it turns to milk and goes sour. the smell lasts for a while.

Brilliant!
When the word is mine...you will have a place in my administration.

Jello powder also works. Depending on the flavor, they can be very pale and hard to notice, then turn bright happy colors on the skin when they mix with sweat. :)

*bows*

hmm...I just had another one...

ah yes. Take a book. Hollow it out (To do this, grab a razor and cut out the middles of the pages so when closed, it looks like the page is there, but when open, there is a recessed area to hide things). Buy fish. Place fish in book. The day before christmas break, leave the book in their room in a place that doesn't look suspicious. Beware of the smell that will be created.

I'll have to try that...

I will not be responsible for resulting groin kicks. :)

The best one I ever got into was with the one that never actually took place.

The former owner of the nation Banker and I are RL friends.
He owns this particular metal foil picture of a French Harlequinne clown thing
all done in pinks, and its holding a little white tiger cub or something.
Its probably the gayest thing Ive ever seen, and Ive literally seen a lactating drag queen.

Anyways, the thing offends me to my core, and for a while, I would sneak it off the wall where it hung, and hide it somewhere else in thier house until Banker or his wife (also a frequent former NS'er) could find it.

One day, I decided to kidnap the clown, and cart it off entirely.
I fancy myself a bit sly when need be, and the next time I went over to thier home, I once again snuck it off the wall, and when I left, it came with me.

Now that I had the cursed clown, my mission was clear.

Ransom the fuggin swine.

So, I obtained a piece of notebook paper, and hand cut out letters from magazines to make a genuine ransom note.

"If you want to see the clown again send 1.00 dollar to this adress"

"Call the cops and the clown dies".

Next, I mailed the envelope (being sure to use my real name and address and getting my gluey fingerprints everywhere) to his home adress.

My next plan was going to be great.

I was going to bury the clown out in the woods, and then leave a map to its exact spot, when I got my dollar.
After recieving my dollar, I would have put the map in his mailbox in the middle
of the night.

Keeping in mind that Im pretending to know nothing, and that he doesnt know damn well who took his damn gay clown picture.

BRILLIANT!

I make kidnapping fun!

However, this was not to be.

Later on in the evening, I get a knock at my door, as Im wrapping the clown up in a towel, ready to be placed in the old cashbox I have selected for its burial.

Its Banker and a gaming buddy of ours, and they burst in my home bearing those plastic bubble shooting toy guns, the kind that sell at the drugstore, and break a day after you buy it.

"FREEZE ASSHOLE!"
"GET DOWN ON THE GROUND....DO IT NOW!!"

In short.....they came in all Elliot Ness and shit, and liberated the clown.

Drat!

Foiled again!

I will not be responsible for resulting groin kicks. :)

After this weekend, the boy owes me. And he shall pay. Yes. Yes he shall.

<.<
>.>
>.<

Jello powder also works. Depending on the flavor, they can be very pale and hard to notice, then turn bright happy colors on the skin when they mix with sweat. :)

I already have plans for you.

You shall be my "Minister of Chaos."

It doesnt pay all that much, but the perks are self explanitory, really.

Paint their door pink, or redecorate their room in pink.

Try to avoid permanent damage. Except maybe woodcarvings in the door.

A good one if you can get access to their anything for a few minutes is to bag it. Whether it's a bag or not.

For those who don't know, bagging someone involves removing everything from their schoolbag, turning it inside out and then replacing everything. It gets strange when you leave the world of bags and start bagging other things. If it's something that can't easily be turned inside out(a computer for example) then just dismantle it as best you can.


EDIT:Oh, and the best pranks are things they haven't thought up laws against let. Like driving people insane with wingnuts.

or just give a fuck about pranking.

A friend of mine had milk poured down the vent to heating his windows - makes a lovely smell every time the heater is used and you have to take the dash board off to clean it up. He was not happy:D

pour flour on them while they are in the shower. Flour+water=paste. Tis fun.

Get their deoderant stick, take out an inch of the stuff, use glue from glue stick to replace, mold into shape.

I know of a guy who added something........personal to someone's deoderant stick. Unpleasant to say the least.

post-it note his entire room, and car.
Here's a good example:

This may take a while, but the results are worth it:

Another option would be fill his bathroom with ping-pong balls. Put clear-wrap over the doorspace so you can fill it up to headheight, then close the door.

I'd leave my cubicle like that. You know, if I had one.

I actually did that to my roommates girlfriend this weekend...I just put some plastic 3m sheets over my window...they're basically shrinkwrap. I had extra, so I did a double coat over one of the doorways leading to our bathroom. She was running, and went right into it. I thought it was hysterical:p

i suggest my favourite prank of all, napalm and polonium mixture.

So I am now in the middle of a large prank war on my dorm floor. I wrote all over my buddies car windows, with window markers, drawing penises, and writting vulgar things. Well another buddy snitched on me, so now I am going to be hit hard this week. Any suggestions as to how I avoid any pranks, or how to get him back if i do get hit?
Consider TG'ing me over this issue. :)

Don't do anything.

Seriously. It's one of the most brutal things you can do in a prank war.

It would work on all of my friends, because they've seen my work before, and know that I really mean it when I will get you when you least expect it.

Sadly doesn't work on me because I think pranks are funny as hell, so I don't care if they happen to me.

Tray full of water + Personal Items + Fridge/Freezer = Hours of Fun

It works quite nicely with keys, wallets, valuables. The funniest thing is the victims frustration of having to wait for the thing to melt.

My favorite prank was pulled off when I was in the Royal Navy and was done in front of the mayor of Istanbul. A bunch of us crowded round a table whilst one person pretends to vomit, the rest of us "comforting" him and surrepticiously pouring vegetable soup over the table. Stand back to see the faces of the onlookers before administering the coup de grace, where we all pulled spoons from our pockets and proceeded to eat the "vomit".

If you have individual toilets, put a dye pack in the fill tank. Good for just a ‘gotcha’ prank when you don’t want any damage done. I found it useful for overly-sensitive people who can’t take a joke.Better yet, litmus liquid. Litmus, of course, turns red when an acid is added...

That sounds both glorious and delightful, but what, pray tell, is an LP cover?

That stuff is expensive, no?

Any prank as good as that would be worth the expense. Either that or nick some from a college chemistry lab. Ah the amount of stuff my friends have nicked from the chemistry lab at my college...

edit: And also, as far as pranks are concerned I may have a few up my sleeve.

For example, if said person is a keen golfer and you don't mind getting your hands a bit dirty, go around the course ahead of them and put dog poo in the holes. In fact, if you use a plastic bag you won't even need to worry about your hands.

Clingfilm (shrinkwrap) is good for so many things. Over the toilet seat obviously, but also put it across the doorways and smear it with honey. Turn out the lights in the house for best effect on this one, and smear toothpaste on the light switches. Priceless :D

Gelatin down the toilet if you feel mean. With any luck it should block the u-bend solid.

If you have access to their computer, open all their files and make all the text white. So simple, but you'd be surprised how many people fail to pick up on this one.

If I think of any more I'll let you know. This is awful though, I should know hundreds :(

Instead of water, you could do the personal item in jelly, a la "The Office".

another thing to do with cling film is to stretch it over the toilet bowel under the seat. that way anything that's meant to go in the toilet ends up on the floor. somthing to do when the war gets nasty though i think. it's been recommended to me before but thankfully it's never got that far.

dependeing on what kind of locks you have on your bedrooms you could fill the lock with insulating foam or pva glue or someother stuff that sets solid but can be removed with solvent.

stealing things is also fun for shortlived pranks. especially food, like if the person has put some food in the oven and gone off while it's cooking, take it out just before they come back and put it in the freezer and then disappear. by the time they find it they'll have to re-heat it and will probably be somewhat pissed off.

Face the wrong way round and take a dump in their toilet. It smears all over the front innerside of the bowl.

Or you could just be a total bastard and handcuff them around an unflushed toilet bowl and leave them there for an hour or two.

Leave some beef liver in the sun (or near a heater) for a couple of hours so it starts going a little hard, but still has some liquid consistency. And then hide it inside their underpants drawer/the glovebox of their car or somewhere else they won't be expecting it.

cool!
you could smoke at your desk and not worry about burning anything!

these are not the most elaborate, but they're fun.

we attached some elastic rope to 2 opposing doors. Make sure its quite tight so there is'nt much stretch left. Then just bang on the door to get the occupants of both rooms to come out. And watch and here both sides tug away.

if you can gain access to more than one room. Get a screwdriver and switch the 2 doors. lock and close. Even if there are numbers on the door you'd be suprused how long it takes people to work it out.

on some older doors the handle is screwed in on both sides. simply remove the handle from the outside.

silly but fun. If they have computer replace the standard window sounds with more intersting sounds. Groans, swearing, whatever. Always novel when it happens in class.

You'd be surpised how light most cars are. Between you and a few friends just move the persons cars. We left an ex-girlfriends in the Uni reception.

approach the guy you did the prank on. be bashful and apologise for what you did. when he makes comments about getting you back, etc... tell him your serious and its important for him to listen. sit on his bed and ask him to sit because its really important. then tell him you have feelings for him and place you hand on is thigh.
More than likely he'll jump out of his skin
of course this only works if he's not gay

I've only been pranked once. :(

But it was fun. :p
