Pranks Please
The penguin prank in Mansfield was so well executed. Suzie Talley was the queen of effective pranks when she was in college. Hey, LindsAy, remember when I kidnapped your cow and sent you ransom notes and pictures?Â

I loved the chicken prank at the school! Know it was messy, but what a great idean. My husband’s sr. year at Shreve, they let armadillos loose on the 3rd floor. Bet Suzy remembers that!

When I as at Shreve there was always a rumor that someone had taken a horse up the stairs but it didn’t want to come down. Left quite a mess I hear.
Oh, the penquin story was priceless!

Heard of shrimp shells in lockers at the end of the year as well. Nice hot summer……would kill anyone returning in August! My best prank ever was putting a bag full of crickets in an ex-boy friend’s car while he was on a date with another girl. Taught him about leaving the windows cracked! That was my mom’s idea. Still laugh about it today!

These are great.
When Suzie was at Tech, she got on the dorm intercom when it wasn’t attended, turned on the switch to every single room and said, “You have a visitor in the lobby.”

Once I secretly replaced someone’s regular coffee with rich, dark Folger’s Crystals. They couldn’t tell the difference though.

CT, I just burst out laughing in the newsroom at your comment. The people I work with look concerned.

One time in college a buddy of mine was moving into my dorm hall for the spring semester. As he was putting his clothes into a drawer, he reached in and found a set of keys; one with a Nissan symbol on it. He asked if I knew who occupied the room the previous fall, and I told him, thinking he’d go find the dude and give him his keys.
Instead, he asks me if I want to go for a ride. I wound up watching this tool take this truck for a nightly spin over the ensuing month. He would, of course, do things such as: park the truck backwards, leave it in other spots on campus after an evening of “mud riding”, park it in the President’s yard. There were wanted signs in every building on campus. When I saw these, I decided to disassociate myself with the perpetrator. I would hear this Nissan owner come around in the middle of the night yelling and threatening everybody in his wake that he’d kick their asses if they had anything to do with it, and that, “this is not funny”.
This might be too delinquent to count. Oh wait, I think sherritalley.com is probably the one place where folks can handle it!

Do they look more concerned than usuall?

I once told my brother that if you pass gas on an airplane, it won’t offend anyone because the gas would be sucked out by the under seat ventilation system. I think he gave it a try.

You know those outdoor signs that local businesses use? Like this: http://www.outdoorletters.com/outdoorsigns.html
I used to LOVE to go out late at night and switch the letters around to make really funny/profane sentences. Marvin’s Gardens was on of my favorite targets. Are they still open?

My favorite prank was easy. We did it at band and cheer camps. (let the jokes roll in)
We’d tell a group of unsuspecting “newbies” we’re going to do a charades (sp?) skit. They’d have to act out riding a lawnmower or a tractor trailer, even a roller coaster.
Well, we’d keep them separated from the audience. We’d tell the audience the person’s coming out to show them how they use the toilet.
Neither the audience or the person doing the prank knew the truth until after we asked the audience to tell the person what they thought he/she was doing. A loud “using the bathroom” would always turn any newbie’s face red! LOL Ask my co-worker who sits beside me about her time in “the hot seat”! LOL

I spiked peanuts with crystal meth and threw them in the monkey cage at the old ford park zoo. feces throwin, monkey spanking hilarity ensued.
February 15th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Tommy, one summer in high school I worked at Ford Park! I could tell stories but it might be inappropriate in this forum. I think this was the summer of 1969.
February 15th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
remember the children’s zoo? with the old mother hubbards shoe? cool stuff .

CT should I tell everyone about the camping trip to the river with you screaming like a woman again.
February 16th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Go ahead charlesm, I seriously have no recollection of that.

Oh and FYI, bodily gasses expelled on a commercial Boeing 737 will NOT be sucked out by the under seat ventilation system before other passengers can detect it. This myth has been busted, the hard way.
February 16th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Speaking of myth busters, they proved on the Discovery CHannel that expelled gas cannot kill a person if they locked in a room with the gas. Great episode, especially the capture of the gas!

The Folger’s Crystals comment reminded me of this clip from SNL. Chris Farley was the best. Check out the video, at the end they interview him “live” from Shreveport…

Yeah, Sher…that was REAL funny.
I am still tormented by that. What if I had swiped your Ms. NSU tiara!?!??!
Enchater!

CT, love the links!
LindsAy, it wasn’t a pageant!
February 20th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
CT:
I have already asked Ms. Talley and she did not know, but why did SNL pick Shreveport? Was it just by throwing a dart at a map or was there some kind of connection?
February 21st, 2008 at 8:48 am
Sparky, I have no idea why the writers chose Shreveport. It was funny though.
