why some roommates need to be hit with large metal objects

drifter god · Post by **drifter god** » 2003-10-02 11:23pm

being in college, i expect some stupid things to happen from time to time. my dumb ass roommate decided to run off with our other roommates door last night and dragged it all the way to another residence hall and left it there. normaly i dont think this would be that big of a deal, but unfortunatly im at a small school, thus the administration isnt to happy with our dorm. while it was funny, i dont know what the guy was thinking

That's bizarre...he stole a door?

I mean...why a door?

You should put his hand in warm water some night.

Because he thought it would be funny.

People can be fucking idiots like that sometimes.

That's a very common prank here at Caltech...

Oh come on, that's not a prank. Moving someone's entire room (desk, furniture, bed, computer, and all) down to the front lawn of the dorm while he's in lab is a prank. Getting together with 12 other guys and manhandling some girl's little 3-cylinder subcompact car out of the parking lot and sticking it between a pair of trees is a prank. Replacing a giant multi-story arts faculty banner hanging from the library building roof with an equal-sized engineering banner in the middle of the night is a prank. Bricklaying over someone's door when he's at his parents' house for the weekend so that he comes back to see a wall where his door should be is a prank.

Engineer pranks are always the best ones

Yep, next up is the autoshop ones... (or at least mechanic ones)

Ones I have heard of, but didn't verify:

Some HS autoshop students took apart the principal's car, and reassembled it in the office lobby in the middle of the night. By some, I understand that it was most of the autoshop bunch, so probably 15-20 people. Never confirmed it, only went to that HS for about a month before moving out of state.

Ones I saw:

2 big 11th grade guys in the combined grade class that I was in got pissed at the teacher/principal and decided to flip his bug. (he broke their Nirvana tape when they wouldn't listen to him about not playing it. I was also pissed, I loathe Nirvana, but I loathe jazz more, especially after 2 years of listening to that stuff for like 7 hours a day 5 days a week). The teacher/principal came out of the building to go get another pack of smokes only to find his bug on its roof rocking back and forth, one of the metal-heads sitting on top of it, rocking it, the other metal-head sitting on the curb laughing, and me leaning against the wall also laughing my ass off. Needless to say all got in trouble. This was back in the mid 90's, I was in 4th grade when this happened.

Electronics professor's Izetta in the elevator. This was in spring quarter 2001. Again, couple of metal-heads in the class. For those who don't know, an Izetta is a 1-door mini-car that was made by BMW in the 70's I think, very small, not much bigger than a golf-kart. The elevators in the engineering/tech. building at the old college I went to for the electronics course were unusually large because of the lab facilities in the building, and double door. The professor would park his lemon yellow Izetta in front of the building under the overhang in front of the elevator because the car was small enough that someone could run off with it by just picking up the back end and pushing, granted that person would have to be rather strong, but still, and he wanted to keep an eye on it. That set him up perfectly for an Izetta stuck in the elevator on the second floor of the building. I don't have details on how they did it, all I do know is they turned it around and pushed it in at an angle, then picked it up again and positioned it. At the second floor they tried to repeat that to park it in front of his office, but forgot that they had a concrete wall about 6 feet in front of the elevator, so they didn't have the maneuvering room. In the end they jammed a metal tube between the doors so they wouldn't keep trying to close on the car, and went back to class. The result was amusing. I still love the professor's responce: "You got it up here, you can get it back down there."

Would you be speaking from experience?

And the best pranks are just annoying when done to you. They shouldn't be so stupid as to get people in real trouble.

Damn, that's some good shit! You like what I did to that school in this thread? Trust me, they deserved every bit of it too...

Take Two pigs, Grease them up.

Get a big black magic marker, on the first pig put #1, on the second pig put #3

after that let them go run around the school.

the best part is when they cant find pig #2.

I'll take the fifth on that.

That's the trick; to do something which is annoying as hell but causes no real property damage. For example, the chick whose car was carefully wedged (bumper to bumper) between two trees with only an inch or two to spare was annoyed but there was no property damage. Uhhhh, not that I'm admitting to anything ... *looks around shiftily*

I woke up one day last year to find the guy next to me had been out drinking the night before. He had in his room every single banner, poster and leaflet you could possibly find on the campus and he didn't have a single idea how it all got there.

In the end we just burnt it all at the 5th November celebrations.

Sadly, I must admit to...er...nevermind, never know who might be reading this.
