Summer Camp or College Pranks-- The Finale

Buy a teddy bear with one of the 'buttons' manufacturers put in them to make the sound or music play. Tear it out and place it in the victim's pillowcase. Is it a dream?

Take their stuffed animals, soak them in water and put them in the freezer.

Make the cook of the house mad and peel all the labels off the canned foods in the pantry.

Prior to trapping the victim in their room by some creative method, plant a cellular phone that has had its keypad disconnected. Needless to say, keep calling!

While dormee is asleep in bed sneak into his room and cover his entire floor with dixie cups that have been filled with water. Make sure you cover the entire floor not leaving any room to walk, when they wake up they will have no choice but to drink their way out.

While dormee is in room with door closed take a grocery sack which has had some flour poured in it and crease the opening so that it can be slipped under the door. Once it has been slipped under the door jump on the bottom of the bag sending flour all over their room.

At lunch, get some butter and a glass. Put the butter on the bottom of the glass and stick it, butterside up, to the bottom of the table. As soon as you do this, walk away from the table. Hopefully, someone will sit at the table. When they sit to eat, the butter will melt and the glass will fall.

Make a small, off-center hole in a can of shaving cream and then heave the can into the victims open door. As the pressure spews the cream out, it will spin the can and create a real mess.

Polish the floor and stick teflon to the legs of select items of furniture.

Butter all of the toilet seats and/or doorknobs in your wing of the residence. SlipSlip...

Get a lightbulb and remove the wire. Fill it up with Corn Flakes and flour. Hang it by a pulley and attach the rope to the door. When they open the door it will drop like a bomb. Be prepared to clean up...

Enter subscriptions in a neighbor's name to some filthy homo/bondage magazines you can find, and change his address by one so that another neighbor receives them. :)

For a pair of roommates, switch all or their possesions.

Tape together a bunch of sheets of newspaper to cover the victim's doorframe. Then tape a big sheet over the doorframe and leave a gap of about two or three inches between the sheet and the door. Fill the gap with paper balls right to the top of the doorway. The victim will be showered with a barrage of paper balls. Obviously, the door has to swing in for this to work.

While someone is in the shower, take all their clothes and his towel and hang them outside. TeeHee...

When someone goes into the bathroom (or another room with a door that must be pushed open), tie one end of a rope or chain to the outside doorknob, and the other end to a fixed object like a dishwasher.

After making sure that the victim is out or sound asleep (if the victim is in make sure he can't get out), put a line of baby powder along the bottom crack of the door (or on a piece of paper and slide it under the door). Then use the blow dryer to spray the powder into a fine mist that will cover everything in the room. Messy...

Kidnap some small beloved object (teddy bear, etc.) or some embarrassing possesion of the victim (underwear, etc.). Once its owner has noticed it's gone, suspend it from a window in the dining hall, TV lounge, physics building, whatever.

Distribute a roommate's furniture throughout campus. Good reactions from everybody.

Once you have stolen a dormmate's room keys, reverse the lock (so the keyhole faces INTO the room). Then loudly announce to the victim you own the keys, but 'let' them win the race back to their room. Fix the phone to continually ring for an added effect.

Collect and stack a bunch of beer or coke bottles (make sure that they are glass) right in front of their door. Ring the door bell late at night so the occupants open the door and knock down the bottles. Crash...

If you have a week, fill a room with crumpled up newspaper or popcorn.

Pour vinegar in the open baking soda box and close the door. Mount Saint Whirlpool will erupt. Messy...

Put dry ice in the dish washer or washing machine and set the dial to 'Rinse'. Mount Saint Whirlpool will erupt again.

Take an old record album cover. Fill the insides with shaving cream and place it halfway under a locked door to the victim's room with the open end inside the room and jump on it. Messy...

Take someone's door and hide it for a while. You get great reactions from this one. They may not car at first but what happens when they want some privacy?

Subscribe your neighbor to a zillion different trial magazines. Especially ones that they wouldn't even dream to subscibing to.

When your victim is in their room, push on the door so that you can fit a penny between the door frame and the door. They'll be stuck!

Tie a string to the fire alarm's handle and neighbor's door. Knock on the door. DingDingDing...

Tie one end of a rope to someone's doorknob and tie other end to a doorknob across hall. Neither party will be able to leave their room. How long will they be able to bear their roommate?

In the winter, put a nice layer of water on the dorm floor and leave the windows open.

Get a few buds and tape a person up. Then leave. Packing tape works best and doesn't hurt THAT much when you rip it off. :)

This prank only works if you live on the second floor or higher of a dorm. Wait until sometime between 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM on a school night. Get a friend and set up the room to look as if the two of you are busy studying for a test (set textbooks and notes in appropriate places). Turn on some classical music at a low volume. Then, on que, begin jumping up and down and banging chairs against the floor. Your dormmates living directly below you will go ballistic. From their perspective, it looks like the ceiling is about to cave in (ceiling panes will be shaking all over the place). After about 30 seconds, stop and return to 'studying'. The downstairs neighbors will come upstairs to find out what's going on. They will find only silence. Wait five minutes and call them (hang-up call) to make sure that they are in their room. Then, repeat the process as many times as necessary until they come to your door to investigate. When you open your door, they should be sure by then that you are the culprit. However, all they will find is the two of you studying quietly while listening to soft classical music. Act totally surprised. Remember, using this process, your neighbors will not be awakened (the noise is projected downward). Offer to help them find the culprit (this will really throw them off). Of course, YOU haven't heard anything, so they will most likely refuse. Repeat this prank periodically for maximum effect. The victim may begin to question their sanity.

In the early A.M. hours while it is still dark borrow something noticable from the house across the street. Put it in your victim's yard.

Leave old trash paperbacks around launderettes and other public places. Write inside the front cover: Property of Victim. I need this book for my thesis. If found, please return to address for a $50 reward.

Post ads around town for a garage sale at an unexpected person's house.

Get a somewhat long spool of rope, and when walking down the street (acting official), get someone to assist you in measuring a distance. Pick a spot near a corner, go around, and find another person to hold the other end of the rope.

Put a paper bag with dog doo on the person's front step and set it on fire. Knock on the door. The victim will stomp it out.

Fill a plastic garbage bag with water, shaving cream, cologne, etc., until it's about 1/2 full. Place it right next to someone's door. When they break the bag when they open the door, be prepared to help clean up. Real smelly. :)

Remove everything from someone's room and set it up somewhere else exactly as it was. Try moving it to the roof of a building, front courtyard of the residence, or in the dining hall. How'd that get there?

Cover the doorway with paper, just paper. Let the victim open the door, find the paper, and break it all down. Do this as many times as you wish. The next time, paper the door and either place bricks or a trash can behind the door. By this time, he should just walk through the paper. Donk...

Take a plastic 35mm film canister, paper punch-holes and a can of freeze spray (at fine electronics stores everywhere). Fill the film canister with about 1/4" of freeze spray then add punch-holes until the film canister is at least half full, replace the lid on the canister. Set the canister on a desk or shelf. When the canister pops it shoots paper all over the area. Different amounts of liquid causes it to pop at different times. Fun to fool around with.

Remove the drain pipe from the sink and put a bucket of water balanced above the door, ready to fall on him when he opens the door. They're too smart too fall for the old Bucket-On-Top-Of-The-Door gag, so they take it and empty it into their sink. :)

Shred about 5 complete newspapers and put them in a 5 gallon bucket of hot water. Pour it on the victim's lawn. If they try to wash it out it will stick to the grass. If they let it dry and try to use a lawnmower to get it out, it will cling to the grass.

Thanks to Pavlov, we know know about a reflex reaction caused by a continual stimulus and some conditioning. Now, somehow get a talking parrot and a grandfather clock. Try to babysit your friend's parrot or give him one as a gift. Now, make sure they have a clock that goes off on the hour (ie. Grandfather). Train the bird so that every night at midnight when the stiumulus (clock) goes off it will say: "I've come for your soul."

You have to keep the bird in the dark and only say it once! Give the parrot to the victim and watch his tired face.

Get syringe without the needle and mix it with epoxy and rubbing alcohol. Now, within 30 minutes, fill a door crack or any thing else you want to stay in place.

Armor-All is only visible when sprayed on concrete (and dried) during a rainstorm (or lawnsprinkler). You can then write all you want about friends all over the neighborhood. It lasts for a good couple of rain storms.

Glue a quarter to the sidewalk.

Go into somebody's home and turn everything in the fridge upside down. They'll wonder about their sanity.

Epoxy glue doesn't dry without the hardener; it just stays sticky. So, be creative with it. Try the toilet seat, doorknobs, etc.. Since it can be washed off, the victim will usually visit the sink. Put some on the faucets, too.

To really smell up and smoke a person's room, put Limburger cheese on a radiator.

Catch live frogs or toads and put them in mailboxes.
